Carbon Costume

Fox McCloud is a character in Star Fox, an third person arcade rail shooter video game from Nintendo. He is the game’s main protagonist who leads the Star Fox combat team on various missions.

Palutena (voiced by Ali Hillis in the English version of Kid Icarus) is the goddess worshipped by Pit.  Also a playable character in Super Smash Bros., Palutena is the Goddess of Light and the true ruler of Angel Land.  She supports Pit on his quest.  Palutena has long green hair and is depicted in her most recent form wearing a flowing, strapless white dress.  In order to achieve a similar look, you can wear a white dress as your base (you may even want to take a pair of scissors to add the leg slit on the left side) and wrap a red and cream patterned shawl around your hip, fastened with a red brooch.  You’ll also want to pay careful attention to your gold accessories, including a crown worn over your green wig, plenty of gold cuffs on your arms, and a brown double-wrapped belt.  Lastly, a white sock on your left leg and a pair of tall gladiator sandals can complete your look.

Captain Charlie is one of the three playable characters in Pikmin 3, alongside Brittany and Alph.  Captain Charlie has a brown mohawk and thin mustache, and wears a white suit with green details and matching gloves.  Taking a little time with a pair of white coveralls and shoe covers can really help personalize the look.  Use some green paint to create the green panel at the front of his suit, and even add green to the soles of the shoe covers.  Don’t forget to add his yellow star badge.  If you don’t want to grow a mustache like Captain Charlie’s, a brown eyebrow pencil can achieve a similar effect.

Captain Olimar is the main protagonist of the Nintendo series of Pikmin games. While on vacation from his home planet of Hocotate, Olimar crash lands on a foreign planet where he finds small creatures he dubs Pikmin who help him as he learns to navigate the new terrain. Olimar’s costume is reminiscent of a astronaut with a clear helmet, bodysuit, and red gloves.

Bowser is the head honcho, the King Koopa, the guy who keeps stealing Mario’s princess and putting her in another castle. He’s had thirteen voice actors over the years in two languages alone. And that’s not even going into his live action appearances. He’s mean, he’s nasty, and he’s always ready to take on Mario!

The easiest way to get a King’s look is to start with the base costume set pictured above. It will give you Bowser’s body design and is a great jumping-off point. The costume does come with an inflatable shell but it’s very small. A larger one is also listed here for those who want to upgrade. A pair of yellow clawed slippers finishes off the clothing while face paint in either yellow or pink can help your face blend in a little more with the Bowser mask.

Shulk is the protagonist of the RPG video game Xenoblade Chronicles, and he also appears in Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. He’s an 18 year old human (or “Homs” in the lore of the game) boy who prefers brains over brawn. Fourteen years prior to the game, he lost his parents during an expedition for the Monado, a powerful sword that only few can wield. Now he resides on Colony 9 where he works as an engineer and studies the Monado. The plot follows his quest to defend his home from the Mechon, a race of mechanical beings who want war with the Homs. When they attack his colony and kill his love interest, Fiona, he becomes the new wielder of the Monado. This weapon also allows him to see into the future. Shulk’s gameplay revolves around stopping the Mechon and avenging Fiona as well as learning more about the sword. Side quests reveal more about Shulk, such as his aversions to caterpillars and vegetables.

Cloud Strife is the main playable character in Final Fantasy VII and its remake.  Cloud wields broadswords at his primary weapons, including the massive Buster Sword.  Cloud’s appearance is similar between the two versions of the game, though more solidly black and streamlined in the 2020 remake.  To recreate his look, you’ll need a sleeveless turtleneck, wide leg pants, and combat boots, not to mention his signature blond, spiky hair and larger-than-life sword.
