What time is it? Post time! Today's blog post will be about Wapeach from the Mario series. Fans of Mario will notice there isn't a Wapeach; only a Wario and the fan favorite Waluigi. However, the original concept art for the scrapped Wapeach has recently been revealed. Although the design was dismissed when it was originally presented, it actually seems to be going over well with the current fan base. However, some fans don't like her at all. Wapeach is a small and adorable little girl who's said to be a brat. She was going to have a bad attitude, and one of her concept art drawings show her wielding an axe. Wapeach being a small and cute character actually makes some sense. It's a good contrast to Wario and Waluigi, and it mirrors Princess Peach well. Princess Peach is actually one of the taller Mario characters, and she's seen as very proper, attractive, and feminine. So Wapeach being a short and childish bully character fits pretty well. I wasn't expecting this design for a Wapeach, but I actually really like how it looks. Since she looks very cute, it also subverts your expectations a bit. I would personally love to see a Mario game add this adorable little devil at some point, and I know other fans feel the same way. As always, I will be including a picture of her concept art below so you all can see what she looks like. Enjoy!
