Carbon Costume

Mario (voiced by Charles Martinet) is the lovable plumber at the heart of Nintendo’s sprawling Super Mario Bros. franchise.  In Super Mario Odyssey, Mario temporarily trades in his signature overalls for a dashing wedding outfit as he fights Bowser for Princess Peach‘s approval.  His quest also brings him to New Donk City where Pauline resides as Mayor.  Mario’s wedding outfit includes a classic white three-piece tuxedo with white shoes, white gloves, and a red bow tie.  H also dons a white top hat with his signature M insignia on the side.  You can recreate his hat with a patch and some safety pins.  If you want to get a little closer to his appearance in the game, consider purchasing a separate waistcoat with gold buttons to replace the plain white vest that comes with your suit.

Marta/Martel (voiced in Japanese [2003] by Rumi Kasahara/[2009] by Takako Honda and in English by Tiffany Grant) is a side character in the anime/manga series Fullmetal Alchemist.

She is part of the homunculus Greed’s group of chimera human hybrids, with hers being specifically a snake, which lets her be extremely flexible, past the point of contortion.

Marta has short, slicked back blonde hair and hazel eyes. She wears a black tank top with a knife holster attached to it, belted loose blue pants, and black boots with brown spats over them. Depending on the version, her tattoo is either green or purple.

Kou (voiced in Japanese by Akeno Watanabe and in English by Jamie Marchi) is one of the secondary characters in the anime series Free!

She is Rin Matsuoka’s younger sister, and despite the familial connection, she does not actually attend the same school as him, instead being part of the Iwatobi High School group. She prefers being referred to as Kou, rather than Gou.

Kou has reddish eyes and wine red hair, just like her brother, but hers is worn long and tied up in a high ponytail with a blue tie. She wears the girl’s Iwatobi uniform, consisting of a white button up shirt, a ribbon necktie, and a grey cardigan, all of which are topped by a black blazer, worn with the school’s patch on the chest. The rest of it is fairly standard school clothes, with a brown pleated skirt, dark indigo long socks, and blackish-brown loafers.

Amy Lau (played by Ali Wong) is one half of the toxic road ragers at the heart of the Netflix and A24 series Beef.  Amy is a high-strung entrepreneur attempting to broker a deal for her business while also juggling motherhood, a strained relationship with her husband and mother-in-law, and her increasingly volatile interactions with Danny Cho.  Amy changes her hair throughout the series, but is rarely seen without her signature octagon glasses.  Her wardrobe draws on neutral tones and natural fabrics, with a chic but relaxed silhouette.  You can’t go wrong with a comfortably oversized jumpsuit in beige or grey.

Emporio is a character in part six of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. He is a young boy who wears baseball uniform. Emporio sympathizes with Jolyne and the two become close allies in taking down Pucci. His Stand is called Burning Down the House, which is invisible – as it consists of a music room hidden in Green Dolphin Street Prison.

Ichigo (voiced in Japanese by Saki Nakajima and in English by Amanda Lipitz) is the main character of the anime/manga Tokyo Mew Mew (2002 anime).

She is the leader of the Mew Mews and as with the others, she is DNA fused with an animal, hers being an Iriomote cat. This has lead to her exhibiting many cat-like traits after the fact, including enhanced acrobatics and the inclination to sleep more.

Ichigo’s entire motif is pink themed, including her hair and her eyes. To show the Iriomote cat elements of her DNA, she has a pair of black and pink cat ears, and a tail, topped with a bowed bell. The rest of her outfit is a short pink dress with detached arm cuffs, red gloves, a red and pink garter and collar, and red boots.

Aiichiro (voiced in Japanese by Kouki Miyata and in English by Josh Grelle) is a secondary character in the anime series Free!

He also attended Samezuka Academy and was one of the captains of the swim club during his schooling, before graduating and attending Shimogami University. While at Samezuka, he was Rin’s roommate, and considers him a close friend, cheering him on despite the other’s gruffness.

Aiichiro has short medium grey hair with choppy bangs, soft blue eyes, and a mole under his eye. Like the rest of the students in Samezuka’s swim club, he has the same jacket as the rest of them, as well as matching shorts. When we see his shoes briefly, they’re a grey-blue blended pair of sneakers.

The Judge is a character in the video game Far Cry New Dawn. They are a member of New Eden and potential Guns for Hire. The Judge marks a new identity of the Junior Deputy from Far Cry 5, brainwashed by Joseph Seed and ridden with guilt from the events and casualties of his fellow officers. Weather the mask and outfit with some spray paint for a more grungy look.

Cooper (voiced by Steve Malpass) is the main character of the Grabbed by the Ghoulies video game.  The premise of the game is that Cooper must save his girlfriend Amber from Ghoulhaven Hall, a mansion plagued by a plethora of supernatural creatures.  Cooper is a teenage boy with light blonde, spiky hair.  He wears tan shoes, light blue jeans, and a bright green sweater with a contrasting stripe around his midsection and collar.  To recreate his look, you can go for an easier green and purple striped top, but if you’re up for a little DIY you can get a better match by taking a green sweater and adding your own details with some fabric paint.  Top off the look with jeans, boots, and a spiky wig.
