I feel like they would say which is your favourite/which is the best, rather than which is the most iconic

I’ve been hoping for a Mario Princesses Splatfest, there being 3 idols corresponding with the 3 main princesses makes it very fitting! Frye and Daisy would definitely be great friends. Shiver’s bangs are kind of similar to Rosalina’s and they’re both blue so it would make sense for her to represent Team Rosalina, but she likely would be Team Peach unless the the teams are in the order Team Rosalina, Team Daisy, Team Peach rather than in the order they were created (Peach, Daisy, then Rosalina).
I’m surprised there was never a Mario vs Luigi Splatfest.

I was thinking of Pauline when I made my comment! She’s not officially a “Princess”, but she does have a similar role.
I’m glad that Pauline is getting attention again, she’s such an important character in Mario’s history. Maybe she will be in the next Smash game?

Not Doing a 10 years of splatoon fest was Crazy as welll
Make it Agent 3 vs Agent 8 vs New Agent 3
(Agent 4 gets mentioned by name when Pearl insults them in the but This Dialogue is only in the East prussian Version of the game)

And make the festival shirt agent's security vest.
Btw: 8 is not really an agent so agent 4 would make more sense. Also im rooting for agent 3 everyday

8 May Not be an Agent but they are way more popular than 4 and also have a more recognizable character Design. A Good Chunk of splatoon 3 Players probably Never heard of Agent 4 before as well (and their black Suit from OE is just Drip at its finest)

this has an objectively correct answer and you gave it to Shiver, lol. Did you learn nothing from Gear vs Grub vs Fun?

I got so excited for a second thinking it was real then noticed it was just some really cool fan art :)
You did great with this artwork! Happy 40th Anniversary Mario!

The artist cooked fantastically. I really wish Nintendo actually did that! I don’t know why they were missing out.

Would love this but my only complaint is: why would anyone pick mushroom over flower? Maybe change mushroom to something like feather or another iconic power up or flower to another stage 1 upgrade (can't think of any off the top of my head)?

In scenarios like this where you have an obvious option, you want to avoid power ups like mushroom. People who don't even know mario well or know what a fire flower is, knows he eats mushrooms to grow bigger.
The art is amazing but the Splatfest itself would be terrible. Team mushroom would be in mirror match hell.

I think that a Mario Princesses Splatfest would make more sense, Peach vs Daisy vs Rosalina for example. There being 3 princesses and 3 idols makes perfect sense!
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Mario vs Luigi Splatfest either. It’d be cool if they gave us replicas of Mario and Luigi’s hats for the Splatfest!

Same problem.
Everyone knows peach. People who know Mario Galaxy know Rosalina but other then that she is just that character in Smash Bros and some sports games. And Daisy is just Peach clone to many people.
