The original Super Mario RPG is renowned as a masterpiece that fuses fantasy elements into the world of Mario, and scores of fans have yearned for a remake or sequel.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter user @Thinginator90 is one such fan and has continued to draw Geno, a character from the game, each day for a period of 992 days. Thinginator began his endeavor on April 4, 2020 with a tweet that included a picture of Geno with the text: \u201cDrawing Geno every day until he&#8217;s in Smash Day 1.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Drawing Geno every day until he&#39;s in Smash Day 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZI5Se5v88j\">pic.twitter.com\/ZI5Se5v88j<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NEW PFP (@Thinginator90) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Thinginator90\/status\/1312498589550088193?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 3, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Geno is an original character that debuted in Super Mario RPG. He is an envoy sent from the Star Road to Mario\u2019s world in order to recover the Star Pieces, and fights alongside Mario and friends. Geno is unique in that he is actually a spirit that has possessed the body of a wooden puppet. His heroic yet somewhat pompous attitude is one of his charming features. He is deeply connected to the game\u2019s story and has proven to be just as popular among fans as the other characters. However, possibly due to the fact that the original game was jointly developed by the noteworthy combination of Nintendo and Square (now Square Enix), Geno\u2019s appearances in other games and media was severely limited. The situation was the same for Mallow, another original character from the game. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Drawing Geno everyday until he\u2019s in a new game Day 730<br><br>Two years.

His original wish was for Geno to appear in Super Smash Bros., but when that didn\u2019t happen, he changed it to wanting Geno to appear in a new game. Whether a remake or a sequel, he had an earnest wish to reunite with his beloved Geno in something new. Then, before he reached his 1,000th piece of Geno artwork, a miracle occurred. During Nintendo Direct 6.21.2023, the long-awaited remake of Super Mario RPG was announced, and Thinginator shared his live reaction to the announcement through a tweet. You can tell that the incredible excitement was preventing him from breathing normally, as after letting out a scream, his breathing grew very labored. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">my honest reaction to the Super Mario RPG Remake. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cUl4yH5TeF\">pic.twitter.com\/cUl4yH5TeF<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NEW PFP (@Thinginator90) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Thinginator90\/status\/1671658236741849090?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 21, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Drawing Geno every day until he\u2019s in a new game Day 992<br><br>WE DID IT!!

Nevertheless, it appears as though Thinginator intends to continue drawing Geno each day until the remake is released on November 17. He seems to want to further nurture his love for Geno by amassing over 1,000 drawings.
