I started on a cover for Mario Excite Bike back in August, but that was when we were having a spat with a website that was selling covers (mostly taken from here)... And I was mostly only doing it to prove that we could do better than their hideous cover for it (which was just the title screen upscaled badly and with bits cropped off to the point that it looked like Mario was driving a unicycle)

I never finished it because, well, redoing the title screen as a vector was time-consuming and their was basically no demand for it. This is as far as I got.

Since I've got no real desire to finish it... here's that cover with official art from Mario Kart Wii used instead

I didn't put any back text on it yet, since I don't know what you'd want there. If you type something up for me, I can put it on there easily.

I think that's great. Honestly the first one looks quite authentic. I will get back to you with text. Thanks again for your time.

Hi, I am wondering did you ever finish the cover?
