Carbon Costume

Alex is one of the available default characters of Minecraft.  She is a counterpart to Steve, with the same abilities.  Alex has ginger red hair worn in a side pony, and she wears a green top with a dark belt, brown pants, and black boots.  Her appearance is entirely pixellated, so splurging for a replica headpiece will help bring your costume to life.

Lancer is a main character from the game Deltarune.  A Darkner like Spamton, Ralsei, and Jevil, Lancer is white and black with blue details including and looks like a spade from a deck of cards.  For your costume, you can start with a white full-body suit.  Wear a blue hood, blue gloves, and blue shoes.  Add an iron-on blue spade decal to a black leotard to wear over top and you’re ready to go.

Mettaton is a robot with a soul who appears in Undertale.  Spamton includes several references to Mettaton in Deltarune.  Mettaton’s original appearance is a box with rectangular lights, but he is eventually transformed into a more humanoid body created by Alphys.  To create your Mettaton costume, you’ll want to start with a metallic shirt and gloves, black pants, and pink boots.  Then, don a set of black shoulder pads and layer a black tank top with pink skull and crossbones over top.  Add a pink heart sticker to a metallic silver belt and don’t forget your emo wig to complete the look.

Brad Armstrong is the broody protagonist of the RPG game LISA: THE PAINFUL.  Brad is a tormented character trying to do his best to protect Buddy from the Rando Army.  He is also addicted to the drug Joy, which is a blue pill.  To recreate his look from the game, you’ll need a balding head, a black beard, and a scar over your right eye.  Brad wears a brown poncho, dark pants and shoes, and has brown cuffs on his wrists.  To mimic Joy, you can use blue candy.

Spamton G. Spamton is a darkner in Deltarune.  First encountered in Cyber City as a miniboss, Spamton can also be a bonus boss like Jevil, depending on the decisions made by the player.  Spamton has a look based around that of traditional ventriloquist dummies, with slicked-back black hair, white skin, an unnerving smile, and red cheek circles.  To recreate this look, you can use a white hooded bodysuit as your base.  Use fabric glue to attach red felt circles and then draw the smile on with a fabric marker.  Then, throw on your wig, black shirt and pants, and bi-colored sunglasses overtop and you’ll be ready to terrorize Cyber World.

Abigail is a character from Stardew Valley.  Along with Penny and others, Abigail is one of twelve characters available to marry in the game.  She has a penchant for the macabre and is a drummer in a band.  Abigail has purple hair and wears goth-inspired clothing in dark colors including a choker.  For her script in the game, Abigail accepts gifts as if they are food, including amethysts, which she eats despite them being gems.  You can add a little extra humor to your costume by carrying purple rock candy with you.

Stan S. Stanman is a salesman who frequently encounters Guybrush Threepwood in Monkey Island.  Stan has sold everything from used ships and coffins to courtroom souvenirs.  He is shrewd in the worst way, willing to do almost anything in order to close a sale.  Stan wears an oversized white hat with a red brim and a loudly patterned jacket, as well as red breeches.  There are a lot of ways you could duplicate Stan’s jacket, including using a blazer, a flannel, or making your own with fabric paint if you’re feeling creative!  You may even get lucky and find a one-of-a-kind vintage piece like the longer coat below to fit your needs.  To create the red brim pattern on Stan’s hat, use red fabric paint or markers.

This year marks the 35th anniversary of the first Super Mario Bros. game on the Nintendo Entertainment System. To mark the occasion, Nintendo is releasing a slew of Mario games, including Super Mario 3D All-Stars and a modern version of its original Game & Watch handheld. Although we’ve provided costume guides for Mario and Luigi already, you’ll notice that their sprites are slightly different compared to their original release, where they wore color-coded overalls and a rust brown shirt instead of the more familiar blue overalls and color-coded undershirts.
