"GWA HA HAAAAA! Tough luck, Mario! Princess Toadstool isn't here...”

- Bowser, King of the Koopas

History:

Bowser's Sub is a piece of the Dire Dire Docks map from Super Mario 64 (and DS). A massive sub able of housing the Koopa King himself and used to escape Mario after he throws the King from the castle a second time in Bowser's Fire Sea. Emblazoned with the likeness of Lord Bowser himself, the sub is deceptively large, boasting a hefty beam despite its short length. It even has ample space for Mario to jump around and avoid the pesky Bullet Bill launcher on the back and grab the star on the front (not included in this build). The sub is also quite nimble, despite its acceleration leaving a lot to be desired.

Action Groups:

1 - Bullet Bill

Weapons:

1 x Bullet Bill (Note: Bullet Bill will not fire over 25 miles per hour)

Notes:

Hey! It's been a while! This was a fun little build I made in a day to test out some technologies I'm planning to use on a much larger submarine (if you've been paying attention to any Discord servers I'm on, you know exactly what I'm cooking up). It's been tough switching between actual university learning and SP projects, but despite that, I'm still creating things slowly. I also wanted to just make something for fun, and following in the footsteps of the Nostalgia Cannon, I felt like making the Koopa King's sub was a fun little challenge! The Bullet Bill "cannons" and Bullet Bills themselves are copyable, if you wanna use them or add more to the sub. It is a free-diving sub and does not have any ballast engines, so you must dive up and down with it to dive and surface. I’ve also added a modification of MintLynx’s submarine engine, so now it’s both throttlable and reversable! Anyways, thanks for reading! If you've made it this far, I hope you have a great day, super star.
