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!”

Let the brawl begin!

Today’s how-to might seem advanced, but it’s really not!
When I made my Super Smash Bros Brawl bento (which I haven’t done a blog about yet… but it’s coming up next!), I got so much exposure on the internet. Many game related websites posted the picture of my bento. I was really surprised, but I noticed that many people who really liked my bento were moms! Their kids, just like my boyfriend, love Yoshi, and they wished they could make Yoshi for their kids. So I decided to do how to make Yoshi, because making someone smile is what bento making is about. 
[How to make Yoshi]
- potato salad or mashed potato
- lettuce
- cheese
- carrot (preferably baby carrot)
- blueberry
