How to draw SuperMarioGlitchy4 (N64)

That raised-arm salute pose is the defining moment this guide locks onto, pulling the blocky, low-poly version of SuperMarioGlitchy4 straight from the Super Mario fan content universe into a step-by-step drawing tutorial you can follow from scratch. Learning how to draw SuperMarioGlitchy4 means working with geometric, angular shapes rather than the smooth curves most Mario drawings use, which gives this one a different feel from the start.

Angular geometry meets a classic silhouette

This tutorial runs 25 steps and ends on clean line art without color, so the entire focus stays on getting the blocky proportions and sharp edges right. The character is built from flat geometric planes rather than organic curves, which means the challenge here is staying angular without losing the readable Mario shape underneath. The raised arm adds some asymmetry that takes a few steps to nail down, but the walkthrough paces it out so nothing jumps too far ahead.

Key visual features of this character

• Cap with M logo on the front
• Large round nose, thick blocky mustache
• Overalls with two round buttons
• One arm raised upward in salute
• Large rounded shoes at the base

If you want to sketch more characters from the same franchise, Luigi and Monty Mole both use classic Mario proportions and make a good comparison for how much the SMG4 style diverges. Cat Princess Daisy is worth checking out too if you want a character with more flowing lines to balance the practice.

How the step colors work in this guide

Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new and what came before:

• Red Color: lines added in the current step.
• Black Color: lines completed earlier.
• Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
