Toy Silver Mario or Spring Mario?
If you are familiar with him, you might say "wait, his name is Toy Silver Mario!". Well, his name was not meant to be that at all, it got changed due to miscommunication. His real name has always been "Spring Mario". Meanwhile his design might give you the impression he was made entirely for Five Nights at Sonic's 4 DLC, it is actually not the case for him.
Da Lore:
Spring Mario was supposed to be a head canon springbonnie for the series where he would perform along origin sonic back in FNaS5's location. He would follow up on origin being a clone of sonic with the incorrect colors, but in spring mario's case he would be a robotic replica of mario with incorrect colors. And yes, he was supposed to be a mix of a suit and a animatronic. After the origin sonic bite incident he was locked into suit mode and never used again.
(Also, this lore is completely fan made, nothing about spring mario is actually official to 1ianmario's fnas)
His possible apparition on FNaS4DLC:
To make long story short, he was never meant for the Official DLC. He got included in one being created by a person who followed the FNaS series. Later it was assumed he was always designed to be Toy Golden Sonic's partner.
Spring Mario apparition as a DLC character was actually intended for another character. Nightmare SonicFan5002. And here is his design:
In more detail, at one point I was actually making my own take on FNaS4DLC (that used very rough 3D models, yea I was still learning 3D modeling). Nightmare Sonicfan was a original character who didn't reskin anyone and had a original mechanic where you had to type "502" on your keyboard if he appeared on the toymare monitor.
He was replaced by Spring Mario later for another fan attempt at a FNaS4DLC, reason of character change was due to nightmare sonicfan being someone's OC, so I requested Spring Mario could be used instead, and that is why Spring Mario was used for a FNaS4DLC recreation, which his name got changed due to miscommunication outside of my control.
More info about Spring Mario:
This is one of my first versions of Spring Mario, he used to be just called Golden Mario, but I later made him a toy character who is gray just to make him stand out from origin sonic enough, but here is his design before being turned into Spring Mario: (I never drew a normal version, sorry)
Also there is a Funtime version of Spring Mario! As I kept on my headcanons, I had the idea Spring Mario could had been the "golden sonic" of FNAS Sister Location. The idea is that Spring Mario(who have been left on suit mode for all these years) got remodeled into a funtime character, and he got similar supernatural powers as golden sonic had, and his funtime variant is actually the character who would be called "spring mario"(because just like "origin sonic", spring mario would be nicknamed "origin mario" for the FNaS5 place). But here it is:
But yea, that's most the story lore wise and creation wise of spring mario, I felt like some people would be interested in knowing his real story since I heard he had became quite popular with the fnas fans over the years, which is awesome!
Yea I think not many people expected a mere recolor would have such deep lore, haha! (also reminding again spring mario is a fan made character by me, and I am not trying to imply any possibility of him being official to fnas)
I could possibly do more of these in the future if you people are interested too! It was quite fun to write out about this character for once. Thanks for passing by and reading this! :D
