I've got the model's for meshing. Got a question though. Do the skinners want to be able to add highlights to the bobomb or can it just be simple single colour skins? Cause I'm a bit unsure with how to mesh round objects, so knowing what the skinners wanna do with it will help me know I can go ahead and give it a hacky mesh.
Also, erm, unsure if I should have done this but the feet on the bob-omb model were kinda bothering me so I made new feet for it. Another thing, the bob-omb model is kinda high poly for a round ball. Can I reduce it? All I will do is change the number of segments used for the main body. It won't be a very noticable change. It'll bring the PC down to 774 if I use a 16 segment sphere, down from the 1020 odd using the original sphere.

How about one of those vines that pop out of those blocks for a Defense chamber? or perhaps one of those big blue block that try to smash you from overhead?
A DC could be a 1-Up mushroom (a big one, to keep it from being confused with the other shroom) or (really old school) a Donkey Kong style barrel (the first mario game EVER), SC could be Boo's Mansion (like that idea) and an MC.... hrm... we've used a pipe, so it could be one of the Bowser Castle doors (from SMW 3 on SNES, y'know, the big groany doors, since it teleports between hives)
Oh, and if we dont have a fade, magikoopa! Magikoopa's just too annoying an enemy to leave out (I hated those things in the old mario games). Acid rockets would therefore be the magic "circle-square-triangle" symbol that magikoopa shot. I like this one better than birdo personally, since birdo looks kinda... pink. And not very mario-esque (only in two games ever, the original NES one and SMRPG). And besides, magikoopa is just so much cooler.

I might have to redo them, as they're rather high poly when the rest of this little critter needs doing still (almost 600 polies). Edit: It's the wand tip... I forgot to set my sphere back down after doing some other stuff (well I set it down to 18 from 200, but forgot to lower it even more).
