yes, May 22, 2024, was Michelangelo's reveal and originally, I had nothing to really do with him he was literally just a grey Mario but later on I decided to change his blue overalls to purple and then I added the original sprite sheet to the Red Luigi's and that's what gave me the idea to have Mike stay as a character. After Andew made his debut Mike now had a somewhat major role (the ARG is pretty terrible tbh) giving Mike something to do during this time frame. In this time his name was said Mike more so it kind of stayed and during this time I met new people like @furrystorm9, @Duckfool, MicrowaveGuy545, SNG32012, @Jaydthe2nd, etc. which we would eventually become amazing friends especially @Furrystorm9 aka SDG4. early 2025 was coming around and I wanted something different from the character that made him pop more than let's say M_M10 who was and still is my main focus. So, I had an idea where Mike would start smoking with cigars in which the idea was scrapped. With my rom hack of SMW still developing giving Mike his biggest role this might actually be the year for Mike. and without him I don't know what I'd do, and I wouldn't have some amazing friends and get MANY opportunities.
jeez I wrote an entire essay in less than 45 minutes and yet I can't do the same thing at school. I finished at like 6:00AM btw
