Ideas for Themed Islands: Mario Edition

[MayorofMapleton]

Might do a few of these.

But with all the new Mario furniture and the ability to design your island like the Mushroom Kingdom even more now. Gotta ask, what villages would you pick for a Mario themed Island and why?

My picks.

There would be 4 player houses, the Mario Bros place, Princess Peach in her castle and Wario's hideout.

The villagers would be:

Al: Simply because he is themed after Mario, usually wearing the Mario M shirt and having the catchphrase "It'sa me". His colors, house and interior go with the aesthetic of early mario levels too.
Louie: He is designed after or at least looks similar to Donkey Kong.
Roald: Looks exactly like a Mario Penguin and ice worlds from Mario
Sheldon: With his chestnut shaped face and coloration, he gives me the feeling of a galoomba/goomba and his squirrel shape fitting in with mario's tanuki or flying squirrel power up themes. His house is also filled with mushrooms.
Snake: Fits in being a Nabbit stand-in
Ruby or Julian: Would act like the star rabbits from Galaxy and/or represent Power Stars, Lumas, Rosalina and Mario Galaxy
Merengue: Would go well with Peach and goes with the theme of cakes and sweet worlds from Mario
Lucky: Represents Boo levels, Polterpup and Luigi's Mansion.
Wart Jr.: Name is related to King Wart from Super Mario Bros 2.
Rocco: House and design to me gives off the closest impression of a koopaling or Bowser out of the villagers. House would look good with thwomps around it.

Bonus: If I could add one more it would be Boris, only for the reason that he fits in with Wario.


Anyone else have their own ideas?

How about a Mario Party themed island? With 4 characters (Mario, Luigi, Peach and Wario), each of them has their house at one corner of the island and the island itself is build like a typical board game. With the help of some nice paths, the right item combination as well as some good placements for the villager houses, I think this could work.

For the villagers, I had Drago as a sort of Bowser or one of the Koopalings in mind. Otherwise, I like your idea with the villagers you listed, especially Snake as a Nabbit stand-in and Lucky being Polterpup.

Coco would make a great Boo
Daisy would make a great Rosalina with her blonde and blue coloring
