Mario- The Puppet (same thread, but in a more common place

[Bob1995]

I'm making progress with my puppets. My character Imp, built on the sock puppet pattern from Project Puppet, turned out nicely. Bob, the first one that I created entirely on my own, looks great.
Now I want to make somthing a little more difficult. The Idea? making a human arm puppet out of Nintendo's Own mascot, Mario. It's a crazy idea, I know. Has any puppet builder done this before? Let me know. And leave suggestions for the build, that would be great!

I didn't immediately see anything as complicated as a Project Puppet puppet, and a bunch look storebought, but there might be some good reference for you.

I found out BJ Guyer did a Mario puppet for a show called Videogame Theater. It looks like a puppet that would appear on Crank Yankers, but it makes a great frame of reference.
