I finally beat SMB1 and its second quest today and I can say Peach looks so weird compared to her modern day depiction. As Mario she's huge and as Fire Mario she looks squat.

It'snot princess peach in the original super mario bros. its Princess Toadstool, Peach originated in the Gameboy Mario's, if you notice some games like mariokart and maybe mario party they have both princess' as characters to choose

Princess Daisy is the oe you're thinking of from Super Mario Land - she was a one-shot until Mario Golf 64 came out.

As for Toadstool, she was always referred to as Princess Peach in Japan - her name was initially changed in the US to Princess Toadstool in the US to help associte her with the Mushroom Kingdom, but her full name was revealed as Princess Peach Toadstool in Super Mario 64. Since then, Peach has been used in both the US and Japan.

There are iron on things. You can even get copy paper that you print out and then iron on.

How much staying power do these paints have? I've used iron-ons and if these won't flake after a few washes I'm sold!

You could always just go over to sites like cafepress.com and apply your pixel art to t-shirts and just have them do all the work for you. Or (Shameless Plug) visit my t-shirt site for some pixel art shirts at:

You could always do it the easy way and just do the design and get a site like cafepress to do the hard work for you like I did. I have pixelated shirts(shameless plug) over at:

Any ideas on where I can find pictures of the 8 bit characters from Nintendo? Google search isn't cutting it.

try searching for nes screenshots and then removed the stuff you dont want with either photoshop or MS paint. Then just enlarge them using the resize feature in paint.

I wouldn't recommend the acrylic paints by themselves for this project because they will make the fabric stiff. Instead, I use either DecoArt Fabric Painting Medium (which, when mixed with acrylics, will make it more suitable for fabric painting) or Tulip Soft Brushable Fabric Paint. These are *made* for fabric so have staying power and flexibility. :)
