Mysteries of the Monolith - Ended!

I've never played Splatoon before and the game doesn't hold my interest long enough for me to even watch videos, so I didn't even think of the cat. Congrats to those who got it right, though!

...But someone tell me I wasn't the only one who thought it was Timmy or Tommy because of the flag (regardless of shape) and short, stubby body?

i put tommy!! even though i knew it wasn't the complete right shape haha

these mirrors always just remind me how little of the nintendo universe i know about lmao, all my splatoon knowledge comes from the few streams i've caught during tbt events so i had no shot

I guessed Tommy as well! I had a feeling it wasn't right but it was my best guess. The flag shape was wrong but I thought maybe the image had been warped or something!

I thought I saw Timmy after I sent in my guess. I should have known the "Nintendo character" wasn't going to be AC since it was last time.

i think mistreil draws these with her left hand or so, so it’s not unplausible for it to be a shakily drawn nookling.., (i guessed tommy too😅)
I'm in so much pain ;_; I did put Judd,but i was so unsure i went with Lil Judd because they're literally the same and everytime i traced i saw no difference of what cat it was.
im so glad i dont know the splatoon series so that i never had the chance to differentiate between these two cats in the first place. it’s kinda like asking the difference between timmy and tommy xD but also my eyesight is bad so theres another contributing factor.

From my short time looking at a picture of these two cats, the only difference for me was the eyes, which well the scribble of the outline before was exactly like mine and had no clue on where the eyes were.
I didn't know them either.

also when i did draw, the only eye i did sort of get looked more like lil judd
 
So is anyone else worried the next round is math? I can't come up with anything other than math or easter eggs if the monolith uses puzzle types we've had on tbt before.

I've never solved a single of the math ones on here and at this point I'm confident the monolith could ask me what 2+2 is and I'd pass out.
 
I didn't even try with this one... guessed Doctor Mario idk why but I didn't even try to trace since I was so fed up with these dang mirrors
 
However you may feel about my glorious masterpieces, know that it is probably better than my other plan for this round: a connect-the-dots with a bunch of extra dots and numbers on the page.

Once I had 100 dots placed for the main silhouette of Niko, I realized maybe that's a bit too much. So many numbers.
I'm sorry to anyone who would have actually liked a connect-the-dots-from-hell.
imma connect this monolith to a jackhammer, if you keep this up

anyways, look forward to round 8 where the answer is shadow mario except his paintbrush or anything else to make him stand out from mario is unvisible
 
I was so terribly off, luckily for me I don’t really know many Nintendo characters so it wasn’t that bad to me that got it wrong. I would have been shocked if I had gotten it. But unfortunately when I was trying to figure out what I was looking at, I somehow made the conclusion that it might be… the happy mask salesman from legend of Zelda. 😳🤣
 
A few more minutes and the curtains will be drawn back, revealing the next method of torture in the dungeons of the monolith.....
 
♟Round 7 ♟

As the drawings disappear, the monolith begins to glow. Green, yellows, reds -- a strange array of colours seem to form an image. A character, perhaps? In different states, at that. Still, the image is... quite hard to discern. In it you see so many things, and yet none that are quite clear. The monolith's surface seems much more like a mirror at this point than anything else. A nightmare. It's like a reflection of your current state: confusion and fear.

A very familiar voice calls out to you,

"What Nintendo character is this?"

The answer should be a specific Nintendo character! Remember to enter their name with all capital letters, no spaces, and no special characters. For example, if the character was named Mistreil*, then your redemption code would be "MISTREIL".
Unfortunately, Mistreil is not an official Nintendo character.

[Added 08/29 @ 7PM FT] Hints


As you ponder the monolith, growing every frustrated, a familiar tune can be heard from the monolith.
And suddenly it hits you.

Literally, it hits you.

The monolith has quite literally chucked a rock at you.

Your hopes, your prayers, your desperation... All of it has summoned this stone. Perhaps this will help you narrow things down? You're not quite sure, but... maybe. Hopefully.

Additionally, below are quotes where I mentioned some hints in this post (which were there from the puzzle's release):
I mean, there is a small hint posted along with the image. 😇
(I'm talking about the description / flavour text -- that's as much of a hint as I'll give!)

If you hope and struggle hard enough, perhaps the monolith will grace you with some additional aid later tonight (though it's quite pleased that someone was able to solve it already).

With that said: there is a second, more subtle hint in the original puzzle's instructions! Something's different compared to last week.
Careful reading has its benefits. :)

Mistreil is a bit too nice, compiling everything together for you here. But rest assured, she will do no such thing for Wednesday's puzzle.
