Carbon Costume platformer
The Noise from Pizza Tower
Theodore Noise is a character from the 2D game Pizza Tower. The Noise is a playable character in the game, and the rival of Peppino Spaghetti. The noise wears a yellow suit and mask with a darker cape, and is reminiscent of The Noid from Domino’s Pizza’s 1980s ad campaign. He also has a curled mustache and wears white gloves. To create your look, start with a pale yellow bodysuit and a gold cape. Add white cartoon character gloves, a chef’s hat, and an oversized mustache to finish your costume. If you plan to take your look on the road, you may want to add a pair of yellow shoes.
Curly Brace from Cave Story
Curly Brace (voiced by Chihiro Yamamoto) is a character from the Cave Story game. Like Quote, she is a robot with green antennae at the side of her head. She has an automatic shield that activates when missile weapons target her, and she can wield a number of weapons. Curly has long blonde hair and wears an orange crop top, orange cargo pants, and brown booties. You can add an orange waist satchel to your outfit and cut the wire from a pair of bright green headphones to emulate the look of her green ears.
Quote from Cave Story
Quote is a robot and the main protagonist of the PC game Cave Story tasked with eradicating the hidden dark power of Mimiga Island. He is skilled in combat and uses a wide array of weapons. Quote has dark hair and green ears with antenna. To recreate this part of his costume, choose a slim pair of green headphones to wear under your hat. His clothes consist of a black tank top, red pants, and dark boots. Complete the look by adding a black belt with gold buckle, red gloves, and a long green scarf.
Shantae
Shantae is the titular character and protagonist of the Shantae video games from WayForward Technologies. As the daughter of a human rather and Guardian Genie mother, she is a half-genie with magical powers. Some of these powers include her whipping hair, attuning to magical items, and performing magic dances that grant her shapeshifting abilities. Cristina Vee voices Shantae in the original game plus Shantae and The Pirate’s Curse..
Jackie from Only Up!
In the indie platformer game Only Up!, Jackie must climb, literally, out of a junkyard and up the world to escape from poverty. Jackie’s name is inspired by the folktale Jack and the Beanstalk, where a boy climbs high enough to pass through the clouds. No word on if the namesake wore a t-shirt promoting NFTs though — as Jackie does with his Goblintown hoodie.
Diogenes from Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
In Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, Diogenes is a nude philosopher who lives in a large metal cauldron. He gets around with only the help of a Yosemite hammer, which he uses to grab onto surfaces, and push and pull himself around. One slip though and he’ll find himself at the bottom of a steep mountain.
Rayman
Rayman is the titular protagonist of Rayman, a side scrolling platform game. Made by Ubi Soft, the first installment was released in 1995 for the Atari Jaguar, Sega Saturn, & Sony Playstation. As Rayman, players must travel through six worlds to free all the caged Electoons. Only then will Rayman confront his enemy, Mr. Dark. This guide includes both a DIY or a simpler way by purchasing a pre-designed cosplay hoodie.
Wild Woody
Wild Woody is the titular character of 1995 Sega video game. Wild Woody must gather the scattered pieces of a totem pole by erasing enemies and creating sketches to help him in his quest. To recreate this wacky pencil, you have two choices. While pencil costumes do exist, few of them are oriented in the same way as Woody. Still, you could get close by layering one over a black bodysuit and adding gloves and yellow sneakers. If you’re up for something a little more impressionistic, you can layer a yellow sleeveless shirt and pink shorts over a bodysuit and then add a cone-shaped cap. Give your pencil a nice sharp-looking tip by using a black fabric marker. You can even add a silver belt to stand in as your eraser holder.
