GIFT: Ultraman vs. Koopzilla Teaser Poster

Description

For :iconkingasylus91:'s birthday.

It's the knock-down, slam-bang monster of a crossover that nobody ever expected! In a desperate bid to finally conquer the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser Koopa sets forth to find a mystical artefact - one that will grant great power to whomever wields it. In hot pursuit of their enemy, Mario, Luigi and Peach meet a mysterious boy with no memory of his past, and uncover ancient legends of a lost city of light. And when the unthinkable happens and Bowser actually succeeds, the gang must help to fulfil the prophecy that fortells that a being of light will return to save the kingdom from destruction. It's a clash of gigantic proportions as the self-proclaimed Koopzilla battles the biggest hero of them all - ULTRAMAN!

So I saw that KingAsylus' birthday was coming up, and I wanted to give him something as a gift. So I threw this together as a tribute to his Godzilla vs. Koopzilla series. Pro tip - do NOT use the screenshot feature in GMod, because it converts the image into a jpeg and makes masking/transparency a nightmare. use CTRL + PrtSc instead.

Now, KingAsylus, aka Fredrik Nilsson, is an awesome dude who makes cool things - like Super Mario Bros.: Heroes of the Stars. So I suggest you check out his stuff if you like Super Mario Bros. Z or similar projects. His interpretation of Mario is more based on the western cartoons, with Mario being from Brooklyn and Super Sushi factoring into the plot of his GvK movies, which I'm not a big fan of, but I can let slide since he pays a lot of respect to the games as well. He's also a big Godzilla fan, which I am as well, and he's making a concerted effort to make an entire cinematic universe based on the whole "Koopzilla" concept, which is a hell of a project. Why Ultraman, though, you ask? Because I'm also a big Ultraman fan and I thought this crossover would be interesting.

In all honesty, I wasn't sure which Ultraman to use for this one - I swung back and forth between so many different versions, because all of them were likely candidates. I ended up using Tiga, since he's one of the most popular and also my personal favourite, but in keeping in line with the primarily western interpretation that KingAsylus favours, he'll be based on the 4Kids gag dub, wherin I belive he was just called Ultraman. If I was to actually make this a fanfic, which Ultra I would end up ultimately using would probably depend on what myself and other people felt. It would also require tweaking the premise in order to make the Ultra's presence work, but I'm fairly confident that with a little research I could make it work.

Happy Birthday, Fredrik! May your city never get stomped by giant monsters! :D
