I’m pretty surprised that “how to make radish mushroom / Mario mushroom” got so much attention in the past couple of days. Especially because when I did the how-to, my main focus was just a regular mushroom. I thought a regular mushroom would be more useful for regular kyaraben, and the Mario mushroom was just spur of the moment kind of thing. I ended up using the picture of Mario mushroom for the main picture of the set because, well, it looked cute. 
If I had used the picture of the regular radish mushroom, it probably wouldn’t have spread everywhere like this.
Anyway, the whole radish Mario mushroom thing reminded me that I haven’t done a how-to in a while. So I was going through my old bento photos, and saw a character that would be easy to make and nerdy at the same time.

After having so much fun making Katamari Damacy bento, I wanted to make more video game themed bento. (yeah, I’m simple like that)
I made a list of video game characters my boyfriend liked first, and looked at each character to see which ones could be made out of food.
I knew that he LOVED Yoshi from Super Mario World when he was young (and still does!), so first I was going to make a “Yoshi’s Island” bento. Yoshi is green, white and red/orange, so it seemed pretty easy color-wise. But I couldn’t really figure out “What makes something Yoshi Island-ish.”
I did a little bit of research, but I wasn’t too happy with the sketch I drew, so I gave up.
I started looking at the game collection again, and one game just made me go “How the heck did I miss that?!”
The game was Super Smash Bros. Brawl. (a.k.a SSBB)
I started looking at screenshots of SSBB, then I thought “Hmm, maybe I can make multiple characters and put them in a bento,,, just like the real game!”

Created and eaten on: 10/23/2008
This was my first two-panel bento, and I’m going to do two blogs about it.
First round, Kirby & Yoshi!
Let the brawl begin!
