maybe even Jr. could be the cure... if there even is one... but, sticking with the theme of last of us... Jr. would fit the bill of Ellie in this universe...
This story of them surviving all these other zombies and finally stumbling into Luigi and finding out that he's a clicker is terrifying. I'm impressed.
How I imagined it: The virus pf mooshrooms from Minecraft infected the Mushroom Kingdom, now mushrooms are growing on living beings and are spredding Everywhere
i reckon its the SMB version of TLOU, but if joelrio had decided to just take princess tessch, and gone after his brother. eventually they stumble upon luigi's mushroomsion only to discover he's gone.
Seeing the iconic mushrooms of mario inrerpretted as a cordyceps fungus is pretty gnarly but so freaking clever considering the last of us is in full swing. Love it
I love the storytelling in this piece, and how the question block is broken open, revealing the mushrooms that were inside and that likely "powered up" luigi
i like that you're honest about your hiccups and troubles; i know it's partially done for comedic effect but it's also really encouraging that someone as talented and skilled as you still makes mistakes and learns how to recover from them. i've been in kind of an art slump lately but binging your videos makes me more optimistic about getting back into it so i just wanted to take a minute to thank you
artists do make mistakes . even the top best artist in the world.. when they look with xrays into pictures in galleries there are painting under them. the ones they made a mistake on. mona lisa has a painting under it. I know i dont show my mistakes as much . but i have a box full of sculptors that went wrong, an i dont have the heart to bin them yet.
It's seriously impressive how you can be so creative with these sculptures! Aside from that, I wonder how destructive the last of us fungus would be in the Mario universe.
Two Options, either it wouldnt be destructive at all, because everything is already a mushroom, or very destructive, because mushrooms can grow there easily. At leats thats my guess xD
I disagree, Mario is the one getting ambushed and captured out of carelessness, Luigi meanwhile is more cautious, and I don't recall him screaming as much in Luigi's Mansion 3 as much as 1. He's quite brave, even in spite of his fear.
With Peach, i think it would be worth stocking up on false lashes, which you can just cut to size- I'm sure they'd also make good whiskers. Also giving peach some colour on her lips might have helped feminise the features a bit more
i think an underappreciated part of your art is the bases. your sculptures are awesome, but those bases are always more than a base- they're also part of the work, a background of sorts. it always ties the whole thing together and i think that's neat :3
So two things: 1. I am consistently impressed with how much work and dedication goes into your projects, and this one is no different- it probably tops my list of favorites! 2. In a post mushroom apocalypse I’d be gone in the first week. Probably the first half of the week if I’m honest.
This made me dive into why his mustache is black and hair brown, found this from Miyamoto: This goes into [a] technical explanation of the number of colors that you could use in the early days. Mario was originally red, blue, white, and black. Maybe it was around the time of Super Mario Bros. 3 that we changed his hair to a different color. What really happened was that, when drawing the character, it became much easier to draw the mustache as an extension of the outline of his nose. Using that same color of black, we drew the mustache. But then we felt bad for Mario that he didn't have a distinct hair color, so we gave him brown hair.
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 Yeah, basically what you said. I'm not going to condemn the guy for chasing algorithm bate, but no need to pretend he's doing anything else. Still good content.
This one is definitely up there in terms of your best works! Super well done, creepy as hell and I love it. I think if I were in a post-mushroom-apocalypse I would survive about as long as it took to quietly sneak to the nearest grocery store, where I would almost certainly be promptly killed while trying to take the last can of beans or something by someone who wanted them more. C'est la vie!
This is a much more realistic take on the apocalypse scenario. Everyone always assumes that they're gonna be the main character when there's a 90% chance of being killed. You can be armed to the teeth and still be a goner from getting infected once or simply just being shot and killed.
Well, considering most of the Mario franchise takes place in the MUSHROOM kingdom, I don’t think anyone would survive the fungalypse for very long. And if I take into consideration how quietly I can go up and down stairs…. I’d give myself maybe 30 seconds from first clicker-contact Incredible as always, Adam! I can’t even begin to imagine the kind of patience and determination it must take to make something like this, especially with all the little repeating mushroom caps
I'd probably die to the first goomba I came across in a non-apocalyptic mario world, let alone a post-apocalyptic one. Amazing job on the diorama as always!
I would die immediately in a mario apocalyptic scenario lol. I am so amazed by your creations, you never fail to blow my mind with the masterpieces you create!
It might be weird to say for something like this, but this piece is beautiful. Everything is super detailed and accurate to the source material. Also, the zombie virus being caused by mushrooms is an awesome and creative touch. As to how long I would last in a post-apocalyptic mushroom kingdom, no.
I would probably die within the first week unless I had someone who I could make protect me. Also, this looks AMAZING. I know you kind of talk yourself down about your art but there are so many things that make it really impressive: you put a lot of time into it, you picked an expensive medium to work with, and you care about the tiny, nerdy things you make. anyway, love your channel, Adam!
This may just be my new favorite piece you’ve done (this is a tradition I say weekly). As cool as a post apocalyptic world would be, I’d probably be the person who ends up eating the wrong shroom starting this all. My bad y’all.
I cannot say enough how much I love this idea! The thought that the mushroom kingdom could be affected by some kind of cordycepts modification of the normal red and green shrooms is beautiful, and I can only imagine it started with a special subbreed of toad. They ARE living mushrooms, after all, right! Also... FEAR LUIGI!! He shall fungi you all!
I think I would die from starvation hiding in a hole i refused to move from. Honestly, it's your videos that makes me wanna try clay sculpting, it seems so fun and so rewarding when you have results like this! Its very inspirational!
Having the mushrooms in Luigi’s head be mushrooms from the games was something I didn’t even think of but is such a great addition and makes so much sense. Great video Adam
I want to know more, if they’ve been affecting them this whole time, and Luigi was affected most, or air spread, or they evolved, or really anything context based. It’s just interesting
I love how you can somehow so easily make things that seem nice and kid friendly into horrifying creations. Too bad my boy Luigi had to be the one taken over. I think I’d last about two weeks in a Mario mushroom apocalypse, before getting Bill Murray’d.
The Mario Brothers, The Last of Us mashup I never knew I needed. I would play the hell out of a game like this. Because of certain medical issues, I'd barely make it a month. This somehow manages to feel frightening, funny, and tragic all at the same time.
The amount of detail in your works is always so impressive, and this one looks so grotesque! Love the small slice of a story playing out. A post-apocalyptic Mario world would probably kill me in a day or two. There's a lot of dangerous stuff there even on a good day, and everything going apocalyptic would have so many deadly traps and monsters that it'd be a miracle for me to last long at all.
It's so fun to see your sculpting improve. You've always been great, but this is next level! The Mario mushrooms were a clever touch! And while I like to think I'm a fighter, I'm not very fast, so I'd probably die in the first few days.
Adam, you are literally the inspiration for all the clay work I do, I base my art on using your style and I’d just like to say thank you for making so many amazing videos. Also, I’d probably last until the apocalypse was over.
Great sculpture! One critique would be that Mario's eyes should be looking more 'up' at Peach, this would also be an opportunity to make him look more worried/afraid. In an apocalypse I would survive a little while because I would think of an incredibly clever place to hide with whatever supplies I can quickly get.... Then I'd slowly die there. Awesome.
I wonder how much worse everything gets once the purple poison mushrooms start sprouting. Idk how long I'd last in this fungal kingdom, but I'd make it my mission to obtain as many golden stars as possible. A brief moment of invincibility would go a long way. Fantastic work. This piece would definitely be among the more unique things someone could showcase.
Realistically I think I could survive a solid couple months but I know better than to say I’d be a Rick Grimes of the apocalypse. Id definitely go down from a basic infection or something lame. Been binging your content for a while now and I’ve genuinely never been so obsessed with an art form especially with how (disturbingly) creative you can be. This is absolutely my favorite so far with the incredibly horrifying M&M in close second ❤️
I've always maintained that in the event of a zombie apocalypse I'll most likely be among the first dead, my best hope is to be that one dickhead who gets bitten but decides maybe it won't affect em only to start turning and have their head tearfully blown off by family member or random survivor...
This is amazing Adam, as always! Personally though, I think I’d last either two minutes or a few months. Two minutes if I’m in a city at the time, and possibly a few months or so if I’m out in the wild or away from people. I really love your content and thanks for making it for us ❤
I absolutely love the design of this. I really like how you incorporated the mushrooms in Mario as a replacement for Cordyceps, it looks surprisingly freaky. I think I'd have a solid month or two in the apocalypse. I'd be able to find safety and set myself up with my survival skills, but I'm basically screwed if a crew of scavengers with guns rolls up lol.
I love the dynamic you chose when painting on the blood. “Peach likes to use pipes to open her jam, but Mario prefers to use his knuckles. And oh nooooo! Luigi, unfortunately, doesn’t have eyes, so he got it all over the place! 😔”
Incredibly done, as always. I wonder what the story for this in particular is. Looking at it, I had the idea that the question blocks were the source and then I wondered if it was scarier that A, Luigi had been a clicker for a while or B, had broken that question block expecting to find something they can use, only to agonizingly break out and twist before Mario and Peach's eyes.
based on the progression, he's been one for a while, but less than a year. the fungus, on the face, attacks the eyes first, before taking over the nose + morphing the mouth. his mouth and nose are mainly intact, but the fungus growth is already too wide-spread to be considered newly-infected. his clothes are a good indicator, too. older clickers are depicted as having lost their shoes [luigi has his shoes], and his clothing is less roughed/torn, in general.
I'm fairly certain I would be the first to go in a post-apocalyptic world, and I'm OK with that. Doesn't seem like a great time if you ask me. This is such a cool sculpture, I would love it to even more pieces :)
I would pretty much die immediately in a fungal infection outbreak like that. But look at the detail in this model bro, you can tell many hours were spent into this work of art. Looks amazing, my guy!
Honestly, it’s refreshing to see someone else do things like testing to see if things work on the actual project, instead of a sample. It’s not a good habit, but it’s nice to see the transparency of an artist making their projects. :) it’s nice to watch while I work, and it makes me feel a bit better when I make a mistake.
Absolutely amazing art! It is such a childhood ruining yet beautiful mix, and it’s amazing! Would love to see you make something from Undertale or Deltarune in a realistic style! Your take on things is so unique and it really makes my day!
Each piece you make is absolutely fascinating and I always hit your videos as soon as I get the notification. Case in point - it's difficult enough to imagine how you come up with the scenarios, let alone considering all the time you've put in to develop such awesome skills. I'm pretty sure I'd be the idiot who thought the apocalypse was an elaborate radio play, survive about half a week out of luck, and then fall over something loud the second I realized I had to be quiet.
I would last exactly 0 time because I am allergic to mushrooms, but I would enjoy the aesthetics while I could still breathe. As always, this is magnificent work. Thank you for sharing your artistic gifts and sense of humor with the world!
Absolutely love this mash-up! As for how long I'd survive in post-apocalyptic Mario world, that would probably be directly proportional to how many chain chomps I could wrangle together to create a lovely zombie-biting barrier around my house.
If someone made a story or animated series on this, I would eat that up! Also your diorama looks amazing holy cow, I love the way you kept the characters cartoony style, while managing to make them creepy at the same time!
i like the green ones considering there are 1up mushrooms along with the power up mushrooms. I love the tiny detail you put into these sculptures! Edit: you should combine the realistic mario creatures with this, it would be a cool design.
Dude… your Princess Peach looks a bit like Owen Wilson, but your Luigi and the whole premise is BLOODY BRILLIANT. I love it! Oh and I figure on these arthritic knees… I’d give you guys a good 5-10 minute head start on the mushrooms in the classic “I can’t go on, be brave my loves, I’ll buy you as much time as I can!” sort of way… so maybe 15 minutes or so? 😅
You are the reason I'm going into sculpture Adam! I am so inspired by the work you do and work towards getting better every day. I feel like I could survive a while in a Zombie Apocalypse world, I am a total introvert and never leave the house so I would be safe for a while. I also currently live at a college in the middle of nowhere, so I'd be pretty safe here.
I love that you made the mushrooms red and green! Such a nice detail! Also, I wouldn’t last past the first few days. I work in the medical field and I’m also in the military so I imagine my group would be one of the first to get infected. I’ll try to stay alive as long as I can for the sake of my husband but if he doesn’t make it I’ll probably just surrender and play the villain for the rest of the apocalypse :)
I think that the strawberry jam didn't look dark enough, but despite this I still really love this craft, I think that it's super creative and that you did a really good job ❤️
I really appreciate your work, it’s amazing to see how you transform a block of clay in something so cool. In an apocalypse like this, I think I would survive a few days
I love the artwork Adam , I love how you made the artwork look like it was from a scary new Mario game. 😂 And I know I would survive a few days until I was curious enough to eat a mushroom.
I dont know how I've stumbled upon your channel or this video, but thank God I did. This is a really freakin sweet piece of art, it's creative, unique, super well done and captures that nitty gritty shroomy apocalypse vibe its going for. I love the idea of the Fungi that have been helping our titular Italian heros throughout the decades suddenly becoming the source of a horrific and nightmarish plauge, swiftly engulfing the Mushroom Kingdom and turning it into a harsh and unforgiving environment. Apocalypse stories are some of my favorites to both experience and tell so seeing this brought me a lot of joy. Personally I feel I would likely not survive more than a week, maybe a month tops if I managed to find an exploit but otherwise than that, this was a banger of a video. Nice work, definitely earned a new sub from me. Keep it up!
Awesome concept! I was thinking it would either be Luigi or Toad. But it's kinda redundant with Toad lol. Your arrangement is tense and feels very true to the games
This looks so awesome! I love the idea of this mashup. I probably would only last like a day in a post apocalyptic mushroom Mario world. I’d feel like with my luck a feral Toad would like bite me on the ankle or something lmao
The toads are the first hosts of the fungus, this fungus eventually mutated from a harmless symbiotic mushroom into a deadly parasitic Cordyceps taking over their minds and eventually entire body eating away the flesh of its hosts. These infected beings will hunt down any flesh that can be consumed for nutrients, any that manage to escape these encounters are doomed to die slowly and painfully as the spores are now inside their system eating them from the inside until reaching the brain where their fate is sealed to wander and consume like the rest of them. Luigi never deserved this, nobody did, but nature does not care for those deserving or not, nature simply does what is required to survive.
I love this Mario series so much!! I got a few ideas for you. How about the Koopalings? You can change Ludwig’s hair into a frill, make Morton’s star-eye have a scar instead, and instead of making Roy pink just “because he’s pink” he could be albino. Anyway, if you don’t see this or have the time to do it, those are just my thoughts. Keep up the amazing work!!
Love the work! Surviving in a place like this is honestly only slowing up the process of what will inevitably end up happening to everyone. I think I'd fight till the very end, up until the point I'd either be too tired, hungry and thirsty, or cause I'd do something stupid like accidentally falling down from the castle or something lol
I think for the lashes, just painting them on could be better. Also to fix the dress I would drybrush it with light pink or white or just hit some of the higher areas. I mean, they are ducking down so maybe her dress is darker cause it is in shadow? Idk lol. I enjoyed the video and keep up the good work 😄
Adam, you have made my Fridays a lot brighter of the last year or so since I've been subscribed. Your work is always incredible. And I'd give myself 3 weeks in an apocalypse scenario.
Really love how the sculpt turned out! Although I’m surprised you didn’t make Peach the infected - since she’s the mushroom princess and stuff, and it’s the two brothers trying to survive Would have been cool to see her be a big mushroom infected monster (like the rat king or the bloaters in tlou)
Maybe that’s what happened to Daisy. Perhaps she got infected, ran away before she hurt anyone, Luigi went after her and that’s how he got like this. Or maybe they put her down recently. It’s her “strawberry jam” on the pipe. Wow I think I got too dark.
I would survive for probably a couple of days, but it's not the zombies that would get me... It's the goombas. One of those lil bastards is always just out of sight to pick off your last bit of health. Beautiful work as always, Adam! Seeing your uploads is always a treat and I'm absolutely loving the zombie theme lately. 10/10.
Great job as always! I think it a lot people forget that the human anatomy is often really correctly displayed. Especially at the dioramas with real humans.
This is one of the best I’ve seen, really great job. If I were in this apocalypse, I’d probably die on the spot, considering that if it’s Luigi you gotta go against, he has some jumping skill. Or I’d live for two days, before wandering into a horde of runner Toads.
Adam! Firstly, this piece looks amazing! You did very well on this project man :) I’m a long time lurker on your channel but I will say if you ever wanna give your more feminine sculptures some ‘pop’ take fake eyelashes and cut them down to size before gluing them! A lot of doll makers here on the toob have used that technique and it looks really nice! You should give it a try so you don’t have to deal with the pesky brittle clay C: Hope this helps!
Watching your videos every Friday is like turning on the new episode of a tv show every week. I really look forward to what your crazy mind makes next… Or something I dunno I didn’t have cable.
your content is just so unbelievably cool. The idea for this is just so interesting and just something I never thought of which just shows the amount of creativity it takes for this. honestly an amazing job. your things have inspired me to start doing more sculpture and i really thank you for that. your doing great!!
I feel like I would last a few days in the Mario world, post-apocalypse!! Thanks for yet another entertaining video - I use these to help soothe my anxiety and combat my insomnia, so it's always nice to see when one drops! :D Loving The Last of Us so far, it's been a great watch with excellent adaptation to the source material!
Sick piece as always Adam! The amount of care and detail you put into your backdrops is incredible. In terms of survival, I echo all the folks saying they’d only last a day. I’m very spoiled with my comforts and don’t think i’d be able to muster up the drive to survive in such a bleak environment
All of your artworks have an INSANE amount of detail, i wish i could make art like that. I wouldn’t even know to begin. I would probably last an hour or two trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world since i don’t run that fast and I don’t know how to fight.
Your sculpting has inspired me to also start sculpting again and to not be afraid of little mistakes and to just go with the flow. Alsooooo, I'd probably be one of the first people to get infected because I love mushrooms so much, they're just so bouncy and all so unique. They're so funnn
MR NORTH I IMPLORE YOU I HAVE SPENT LITERALLY 1000s OF HOURS OF MY LIFE SPEEDRUNNING SUPER MARIO 64 I WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO BE THE PROUD CARETAKER OF THIS INCREDIBLE DIORAMA LOVE YOUR WORK KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO ALSO MY SUBSCRIBERS LOVE YOU TOO
absolutely incredible to see a joke I made back in high school come to life unexpectedly ten years later LOL I like to think I'd survive the shroompocalypse but realistically I'd get taken out within a couple days lmao
This is so clever. The moment I saw the thumbnail I instantly understood the concept. That's some good art. I think I'd die pretty quick in this world honestly haha
I love the ideas you come up with for your pieces. That's my main stumbling point with sculpting. As for surviving, I'd raid my pharmacy early, get as much canned food and water as possible get in the RV an drive somewhere weird in the woods and hope no one else picked the same spot.
This is one of my favorite sculptures I've seen you make! I would survive only until I encountered an infected. I can't jump high enough to stomp them like Mario would.
We thought of a story for this one Story: long ago, in the mushroom kingdom, Mario and Luigi were having fun with each other, both decided to join Princess Peach in her castle. Until one day, the mushrooms that the brothers normally consume, turn those who touch them into Mushroom Zombies, both of them were shocked and scared like none other. Unfortunately Luigi fell victim to the mushrooms, Mario could do nothing but watch as his brother was consumed by the mushrooms, with Luigi's last breath he said "Mario.. help.. me" Mario had no choice but to leave him, he ran to save Peach from her zombified servants. Years later in the future, the mushroom kingdom has fallen, while trying to escape, they encounter an old friend
Part 2 Story: Years passed by, Mario and Peach were leaving the remains of Bowser's castle, in search of supplies, while leaving, Mushroom Zombies were on them. The fight was a blood bath, but in the end, the two had survived. Mario and Peach were tired and tried to rest, but luck was not on their side, Clickers were on them, the two were doing their best to keep quiet, they peeked through the wall to find Clickers of all kinds, Toad, Bowser's son, Donkey Kong, but the one who stood out from the others, was the first, Luigi. Mario was horrified by seeing what his brother had become, Peach couldn't believe seeing them all like this, a fate worse than death. The remaining Clickers has left after Mario misdirected them, but Luigi had developed smarter and stronger, and knew it was a distraction. Mario and Peach were up against the monster that was once by their side, they navigated away from Luigi, but he had caught up with them, Peach was scared to the bone that she couldn't move, Mario instructed Peach to stay quiet, so that Luigi wouldn't hear them.
I honestly and probably wouldn’t survive the night in any post apocalyptic setting lmao😅😂 but I also wanted to say that I found your channel under my recommendations a few months ago and instantly fell in love with your work! You’ve honestly inspired me to try and get into sculpting so thanks for all you do!
My wife and I love watching your videos every week. What you are able to create is truly amazing and we really appreciate all the hard work you put in your videos. In terms of surviving a mushroom apocalypse, we would say we would last maybe a day or two at most 😅
Thank you for this amazing creation Adam. Your videos cure my anxiety and I can’t wait to see your next video. I was wondering if you find yourself wanting to make another Mario scary creation. How about a Luigi’s Mansion inspired thing? Again thank you for making this great content for us :)
Congratulations Nate Freeman! Yer are a winner! Sorry to everyone else. Unless you didn't want it, then... you're welcome?
🥲
Congratulations to Nate.
Alright im gonna go eat a taco now
Yeehaw.
🤯
The mashup of Mario and Last of Us fit so well. Bowser as a zombie would be ao horrifying with toad as the source of the plague.
Although Bowser as a survivor and working along side or against Mario would also be cool
wonder what would've happened to the Koopalings...
maybe even Jr. could be the cure... if there even is one... but, sticking with the theme of last of us... Jr. would fit the bill of Ellie in this universe...
Bowser is the ultimate bloater
YESS
This story of them surviving all these other zombies and finally stumbling into Luigi and finding out that he's a clicker is terrifying. I'm impressed.

Getting better as an artist isn't about not making mistakes, it's about learning how to hide them better
The inspiration this guy gives us is amazing !
So I’m juuust saying, but he literally said: “mistakes are for nerds”
It's seriously impressive how you can be so creative with these sculptures! Aside from that, I wonder how destructive the last of us fungus would be in the Mario universe.
Everything in the Mario universe is mushroom related lmao, stuff ain't going well there
Two Options, either it wouldnt be destructive at all, because everything is already a mushroom, or very destructive, because mushrooms can grow there easily. At leats thats my guess xD
What would happen to toad 🤔
@Ant Pope i mean it doesnt matter how "strong" or "weak" someone is, they get bit, they gon' turn
@@frogdog209 They're immune because all of them are already infected.
It's so Luigi to be the one who gets turned into a zombie.
“Hey dude, yk randall? Yea he’d be the one to be turned into a zombie”
Rude as fuck of you to say, but extremely accurate at the same time
“Oh Luigi!”
*laugh track*
I disagree, Mario is the one getting ambushed and captured out of carelessness, Luigi meanwhile is more cautious, and I don't recall him screaming as much in Luigi's Mansion 3 as much as 1. He's quite brave, even in spite of his fear.
Luigi would never.
He would survive by doing absolutely nothing, obviously.
With Peach, i think it would be worth stocking up on false lashes, which you can just cut to size- I'm sure they'd also make good whiskers. Also giving peach some colour on her lips might have helped feminise the features a bit more
i think an underappreciated part of your art is the bases. your sculptures are awesome, but those bases are always more than a base- they're also part of the work, a background of sorts. it always ties the whole thing together and i think that's neat :3
Whoa
So two things:
1. I am consistently impressed with how much work and dedication goes into your projects, and this one is no different- it probably tops my list of favorites!
2. In a post mushroom apocalypse I’d be gone in the first week. Probably the first half of the week if I’m honest.
Nice profile picture
This made me dive into why his mustache is black and hair brown, found this from Miyamoto: This goes into [a] technical explanation of the number of colors that you could use in the early days. Mario was originally red, blue, white, and black. Maybe it was around the time of Super Mario Bros. 3 that we changed his hair to a different color. What really happened was that, when drawing the character, it became much easier to draw the mustache as an extension of the outline of his nose. Using that same color of black, we drew the mustache. But then we felt bad for Mario that he didn't have a distinct hair color, so we gave him brown hair.
Adam's brain is like Halloween that never ends. Love it
I truly don’t know how you keep coming up with such unique ideas for your sculptures
“Last of us is popular, there’s mushroom bois in it Mario is also popular with mushroom bois, that’s clickable let’s gooooo!”
True this is absolutely beautiful
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 Yeah, basically what you said. I'm not going to condemn the guy for chasing algorithm bate, but no need to pretend he's doing anything else. Still good content.
These aren't sculptures, they are tiny nerdy things!
It's obvious why/how he came up with the idea, but still a very creative idea none the less haha
This one is definitely up there in terms of your best works! Super well done, creepy as hell and I love it. I think if I were in a post-mushroom-apocalypse I would survive about as long as it took to quietly sneak to the nearest grocery store, where I would almost certainly be promptly killed while trying to take the last can of beans or something by someone who wanted them more. C'est la vie!
This is a much more realistic take on the apocalypse scenario. Everyone always assumes that they're gonna be the main character when there's a 90% chance of being killed. You can be armed to the teeth and still be a goner from getting infected once or simply just being shot and killed.
Well, considering most of the Mario franchise takes place in the MUSHROOM kingdom, I don’t think anyone would survive the fungalypse for very long.
And if I take into consideration how quietly I can go up and down stairs…. I’d give myself maybe 30 seconds from first clicker-contact
Incredible as always, Adam! I can’t even begin to imagine the kind of patience and determination it must take to make something like this, especially with all the little repeating mushroom caps
I'd probably die to the first goomba I came across in a non-apocalyptic mario world, let alone a post-apocalyptic one. Amazing job on the diorama as always!
I would die immediately in a mario apocalyptic scenario lol. I am so amazed by your creations, you never fail to blow my mind with the masterpieces you create!
If you spend your whole life playing minecraft survival mode, you should be good, just don’t jump off any cliffs or MLG water.
@@MrSamperi24 What does this have to do with anything lol
@@aarong1092 I am saying that if you played minecraft survival, you know how to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
Bro it’s ez just jump on Luigi 2 times and he falls into the floor
Very interesting and inspiring !
It might be weird to say for something like this, but this piece is beautiful. Everything is super detailed and accurate to the source material. Also, the zombie virus being caused by mushrooms is an awesome and creative touch. As to how long I would last in a post-apocalyptic mushroom kingdom, no.
Peach's dress being a grungy red is actually perfect cause it looks like she has gotten it dirty from years of surviving.
I would probably die within the first week unless I had someone who I could make protect me.
Also, this looks AMAZING. I know you kind of talk yourself down about your art but there are so many things that make it really impressive: you put a lot of time into it, you picked an expensive medium to work with, and you care about the tiny, nerdy things you make. anyway, love your channel, Adam!
Turns out I *did* need a Last of Us / Super Mario mashup in my life. Always fun to see what you come up with each week!
Did you see the SNL Mario parody?
Yes
The roads are just a further progression of the mushroom infection
This may just be my new favorite piece you’ve done (this is a tradition I say weekly). As cool as a post apocalyptic world would be, I’d probably be the person who ends up eating the wrong shroom starting this all. My bad y’all.
Damn it, Tanner, everyone knows not to eat the wrong mushrooms!
It's all good. We forgive you dude.
Tanner: Whoops, started a apocalypse, sorry guys!
It's ok tanner, we've all started an apocalypse at some point
@@Cemetery._Lady damn bro, who's we?!
I cannot say enough how much I love this idea! The thought that the mushroom kingdom could be affected by some kind of cordycepts modification of the normal red and green shrooms is beautiful, and I can only imagine it started with a special subbreed of toad. They ARE living mushrooms, after all, right!
Also... FEAR LUIGI!! He shall fungi you all!
I think I would die from starvation hiding in a hole i refused to move from. Honestly, it's your videos that makes me wanna try clay sculpting, it seems so fun and so rewarding when you have results like this! Its very inspirational!
Just wanna say that the question mark on the yellow block usually is black
Yes yes and agreed
The classic question block from the first game is yellow and orange. They made the question mark white in super mario 3
❤❤❤❤❤
SAME ever since i have been watching his vids i have wanted to try clay sculpting
Having the mushrooms in Luigi’s head be mushrooms from the games was something I didn’t even think of but is such a great addition and makes so much sense. Great video Adam
I want to know more, if they’ve been affecting them this whole time, and Luigi was affected most, or air spread, or they evolved, or really anything context based. It’s just interesting
I love how you can somehow so easily make things that seem nice and kid friendly into horrifying creations. Too bad my boy Luigi had to be the one taken over. I think I’d last about two weeks in a Mario mushroom apocalypse, before getting Bill Murray’d.
you know how close i came to murraying you lol
The Mario Brothers, The Last of Us mashup I never knew I needed. I would play the hell out of a game like this. Because of certain medical issues, I'd barely make it a month. This somehow manages to feel frightening, funny, and tragic all at the same time.
The amount of detail in your works is always so impressive, and this one looks so grotesque! Love the small slice of a story playing out.
A post-apocalyptic Mario world would probably kill me in a day or two. There's a lot of dangerous stuff there even on a good day, and everything going apocalyptic would have so many deadly traps and monsters that it'd be a miracle for me to last long at all.
It's so fun to see your sculpting improve. You've always been great, but this is next level! The Mario mushrooms were a clever touch! And while I like to think I'm a fighter, I'm not very fast, so I'd probably die in the first few days.
Adam, you are literally the inspiration for all the clay work I do, I base my art on using your style and I’d just like to say thank you for making so many amazing videos. Also, I’d probably last until the apocalypse was over.
Inspirations like he's been through the apocalypse :o so real
7:10 the moment he started putting the white bits in, I started getting wildly itchy goosebumps. 😵💫
Great sculpture!
One critique would be that Mario's eyes should be looking more 'up' at Peach, this would also be an opportunity to make him look more worried/afraid.
In an apocalypse I would survive a little while because I would think of an incredibly clever place to hide with whatever supplies I can quickly get.... Then I'd slowly die there. Awesome.
I wonder how much worse everything gets once the purple poison mushrooms start sprouting.
Idk how long I'd last in this fungal kingdom, but I'd make it my mission to obtain as many golden stars as possible. A brief moment of invincibility would go a long way.
Fantastic work. This piece would definitely be among the more unique things someone could showcase.
Realistically I think I could survive a solid couple months but I know better than to say I’d be a Rick Grimes of the apocalypse. Id definitely go down from a basic infection or something lame. Been binging your content for a while now and I’ve genuinely never been so obsessed with an art form especially with how (disturbingly) creative you can be. This is absolutely my favorite so far with the incredibly horrifying M&M in close second ❤️
I've always maintained that in the event of a zombie apocalypse I'll most likely be among the first dead, my best hope is to be that one dickhead who gets bitten but decides maybe it won't affect em only to start turning and have their head tearfully blown off by family member or random survivor...
@@cptsteele91 My plan is to put on as much armor and sharp stabby bits as possible, while also being festooned with primo loot. Become a miniboss
All you have to do is survive a month u til most of them are a pile of eroded bones on the ground
I’d probably be the negan of the apocalypse without all the physcopathy. Just the comedy
@@cptsteele91 chainmail armor is always heavily undervalued in all zombie shows, you would become almost completely immune to everything
i love how straight forward these titles are.
This is amazing Adam, as always! Personally though, I think I’d last either two minutes or a few months. Two minutes if I’m in a city at the time, and possibly a few months or so if I’m out in the wild or away from people. I really love your content and thanks for making it for us ❤
I absolutely love the design of this. I really like how you incorporated the mushrooms in Mario as a replacement for Cordyceps, it looks surprisingly freaky.
I think I'd have a solid month or two in the apocalypse. I'd be able to find safety and set myself up with my survival skills, but I'm basically screwed if a crew of scavengers with guns rolls up lol.
I’d have 2 days in the apocalypse
@@karenaugustyniak4925 your doing better than me, I'm the bait
I’d probably die from something stupid, *without* even realizing there was an apocalypse
Tecnicly in this mushroom kingdom zombie scenario there are no guns, tho there would be things like fireflowers, 1-Ups, and that sorta stuff
I've never seen a better fungus zombie Luigi.
Are you the real thing?
@Ant Pope why? all I did was ask if this was really Boylei Hobby Time
I love the dynamic you chose when painting on the blood. “Peach likes to use pipes to open her jam, but Mario prefers to use his knuckles. And oh nooooo! Luigi, unfortunately, doesn’t have eyes, so he got it all over the place! 😔”
Incredibly done, as always. I wonder what the story for this in particular is. Looking at it, I had the idea that the question blocks were the source and then I wondered if it was scarier that A, Luigi had been a clicker for a while or B, had broken that question block expecting to find something they can use, only to agonizingly break out and twist before Mario and Peach's eyes.
based on the progression, he's been one for a while, but less than a year. the fungus, on the face, attacks the eyes first, before taking over the nose + morphing the mouth. his mouth and nose are mainly intact, but the fungus growth is already too wide-spread to be considered newly-infected.
his clothes are a good indicator, too. older clickers are depicted as having lost their shoes [luigi has his shoes], and his clothing is less roughed/torn, in general.
@@_mmu1e Ah, I think I remember that from Roanoke Gaming's analysis of the clickers a while back.
I'm fairly certain I would be the first to go in a post-apocalyptic world, and I'm OK with that. Doesn't seem like a great time if you ask me. This is such a cool sculpture, I would love it to even more pieces :)
Really
I agree with this
I'd die relatively quickly, not because of the virus, but because of self-termination.
I would pretty much die immediately in a fungal infection outbreak like that. But look at the detail in this model bro, you can tell many hours were spent into this work of art. Looks amazing, my guy!
Honestly, it’s refreshing to see someone else do things like testing to see if things work on the actual project, instead of a sample. It’s not a good habit, but it’s nice to see the transparency of an artist making their projects. :) it’s nice to watch while I work, and it makes me feel a bit better when I make a mistake.
Absolutely amazing art! It is such a childhood ruining yet beautiful mix, and it’s amazing! Would love to see you make something from Undertale or Deltarune in a realistic style! Your take on things is so unique and it really makes my day!
Oh my god you beautiful bean! That would be amazing!!!!
@@CallMeKes thanks. It’s something I would hope he eventually will try his hand at
Each piece you make is absolutely fascinating and I always hit your videos as soon as I get the notification. Case in point - it's difficult enough to imagine how you come up with the scenarios, let alone considering all the time you've put in to develop such awesome skills. I'm pretty sure I'd be the idiot who thought the apocalypse was an elaborate radio play, survive about half a week out of luck, and then fall over something loud the second I realized I had to be quiet.
I would last exactly 0 time because I am allergic to mushrooms, but I would enjoy the aesthetics while I could still breathe.
As always, this is magnificent work. Thank you for sharing your artistic gifts and sense of humor with the world!
Imagine being adam and waking up in the middle of the night and being terrified by his own creations.
Absolutely love this mash-up!
As for how long I'd survive in post-apocalyptic Mario world, that would probably be directly proportional to how many chain chomps I could wrangle together to create a lovely zombie-biting barrier around my house.
If someone made a story or animated series on this, I would eat that up! Also your diorama looks amazing holy cow, I love the way you kept the characters cartoony style, while managing to make them creepy at the same time!
i like the green ones considering there are 1up mushrooms along with the power up mushrooms. I love the tiny detail you put into these sculptures!
Edit: you should combine the realistic mario creatures with this, it would be a cool design.
I can imagine Mario just ripping infected apart like friggin Doom Guy
Dude… your Princess Peach looks a bit like Owen Wilson, but your Luigi and the whole premise is BLOODY BRILLIANT. I love it!
Oh and I figure on these arthritic knees… I’d give you guys a good 5-10 minute head start on the mushrooms in the classic “I can’t go on, be brave my loves, I’ll buy you as much time as I can!” sort of way… so maybe 15 minutes or so? 😅
You are the reason I'm going into sculpture Adam! I am so inspired by the work you do and work towards getting better every day. I feel like I could survive a while in a Zombie Apocalypse world, I am a total introvert and never leave the house so I would be safe for a while. I also currently live at a college in the middle of nowhere, so I'd be pretty safe here.
Just don’t eat the bread. Or cookies. Or pancake mix. Or pancakes. Or-
Yeah, as an introvert I treat most other people like they are infected with a zombie plague often. I stay the hell away from them.
I love that you made the mushrooms red and green! Such a nice detail!
Also, I wouldn’t last past the first few days. I work in the medical field and I’m also in the military so I imagine my group would be one of the first to get infected. I’ll try to stay alive as long as I can for the sake of my husband but if he doesn’t make it I’ll probably just surrender and play the villain for the rest of the apocalypse :)
I think that the strawberry jam didn't look dark enough, but despite this I still really love this craft, I think that it's super creative and that you did a really good job ❤️
I really appreciate your work, it’s amazing to see how you transform a block of clay in something so cool. In an apocalypse like this, I think I would survive a few days
god seeing how well he's improved on sculpting people over the years is really impressive
Thats just what happens when your career turns into making creepy hyper realistic clay figurines I guess
I would probably die in a few weeks. I have little faith I’d be able to fight them off 😅
I was genuinely surprised just how great Luigi turned out! I've watched a fair few of your videos before but this really blew me away
I can't believe how often you post literal masterpieces.. well done Adam!! Love this piece ❤
I love the artwork Adam , I love how you made the artwork look like it was from a scary new Mario game. 😂 And I know I would survive a few days until I was curious enough to eat a mushroom.
I dont know how I've stumbled upon your channel or this video, but thank God I did. This is a really freakin sweet piece of art, it's creative, unique, super well done and captures that nitty gritty shroomy apocalypse vibe its going for. I love the idea of the Fungi that have been helping our titular Italian heros throughout the decades suddenly becoming the source of a horrific and nightmarish plauge, swiftly engulfing the Mushroom Kingdom and turning it into a harsh and unforgiving environment.
Apocalypse stories are some of my favorites to both experience and tell so seeing this brought me a lot of joy. Personally I feel I would likely not survive more than a week, maybe a month tops if I managed to find an exploit but otherwise than that, this was a banger of a video. Nice work, definitely earned a new sub from me. Keep it up!
My man wrote a paragraph of a review
Awesome concept! I was thinking it would either be Luigi or Toad. But it's kinda redundant with Toad lol. Your arrangement is tense and feels very true to the games
I will NEVER get tired of the "time to add some rocky texture with...a rock" joke.
This looks so awesome! I love the idea of this mashup. I probably would only last like a day in a post apocalyptic mushroom Mario world. I’d feel like with my luck a feral Toad would like bite me on the ankle or something lmao
The toads are the first hosts of the fungus, this fungus eventually mutated from a harmless symbiotic mushroom into a deadly parasitic Cordyceps taking over their minds and eventually entire body eating away the flesh of its hosts. These infected beings will hunt down any flesh that can be consumed for nutrients, any that manage to escape these encounters are doomed to die slowly and painfully as the spores are now inside their system eating them from the inside until reaching the brain where their fate is sealed to wander and consume like the rest of them. Luigi never deserved this, nobody did, but nature does not care for those deserving or not, nature simply does what is required to survive.
I love this Mario series so much!! I got a few ideas for you. How about the Koopalings? You can change Ludwig’s hair into a frill, make Morton’s star-eye have a scar instead, and instead of making Roy pink just “because he’s pink” he could be albino. Anyway, if you don’t see this or have the time to do it, those are just my thoughts. Keep up the amazing work!!
By FAR my favorite of your mashups so far!
Do you sell these afterwards, or keep them in a closet somewhere?
Love the work! Surviving in a place like this is honestly only slowing up the process of what will inevitably end up happening to everyone. I think I'd fight till the very end, up until the point I'd either be too tired, hungry and thirsty, or cause I'd do something stupid like accidentally falling down from the castle or something lol
Awesome as always!
Hanging with Bowser is definitely the key to survival.
Amazing work as always!
I think for the lashes, just painting them on could be better. Also to fix the dress I would drybrush it with light pink or white or just hit some of the higher areas. I mean, they are ducking down so maybe her dress is darker cause it is in shadow? Idk lol. I enjoyed the video and keep up the good work 😄
Adam, you have made my Fridays a lot brighter of the last year or so since I've been subscribed. Your work is always incredible. And I'd give myself 3 weeks in an apocalypse scenario.
Don't you mean, darker? :)
Really love how the sculpt turned out! Although I’m surprised you didn’t make Peach the infected - since she’s the mushroom princess and stuff, and it’s the two brothers trying to survive
Would have been cool to see her be a big mushroom infected monster (like the rat king or the bloaters in tlou)
Maybe that’s what happened to Daisy. Perhaps she got infected, ran away before she hurt anyone, Luigi went after her and that’s how he got like this. Or maybe they put her down recently. It’s her “strawberry jam” on the pipe. Wow I think I got too dark.
I would survive for probably a couple of days, but it's not the zombies that would get me... It's the goombas. One of those lil bastards is always just out of sight to pick off your last bit of health.
Beautiful work as always, Adam! Seeing your uploads is always a treat and I'm absolutely loving the zombie theme lately. 10/10.
Great job as always! I think it a lot people forget that the human anatomy is often really correctly displayed. Especially at the dioramas with real humans.
This is one of the best I’ve seen, really great job. If I were in this apocalypse, I’d probably die on the spot, considering that if it’s Luigi you gotta go against, he has some jumping skill. Or I’d live for two days, before wandering into a horde of runner Toads.
Adam! Firstly, this piece looks amazing! You did very well on this project man :) I’m a long time lurker on your channel but I will say if you ever wanna give your more feminine sculptures some ‘pop’ take fake eyelashes and cut them down to size before gluing them! A lot of doll makers here on the toob have used that technique and it looks really nice! You should give it a try so you don’t have to deal with the pesky brittle clay C: Hope this helps!
Watching your videos every Friday is like turning on the new episode of a tv show every week. I really look forward to what your crazy mind makes next…
Or something I dunno I didn’t have cable.
Same 😂😂😂
6:58 was that the bite of 87!?!
your content is just so unbelievably cool. The idea for this is just so interesting and just something I never thought of which just shows the amount of creativity it takes for this. honestly an amazing job. your things have inspired me to start doing more sculpture and i really thank you for that. your doing great!!
I feel like I would last a few days in the Mario world, post-apocalypse!! Thanks for yet another entertaining video - I use these to help soothe my anxiety and combat my insomnia, so it's always nice to see when one drops! :D
Loving The Last of Us so far, it's been a great watch with excellent adaptation to the source material!
i live and breath for this channel, ive even started sculpting to help with my depression. thank you Adam!
I’d unironically play the ever loving crap off a Mario Zombie game that has thus art style
Sick piece as always Adam! The amount of care and detail you put into your backdrops is incredible. In terms of survival, I echo all the folks saying they’d only last a day. I’m very spoiled with my comforts and don’t think i’d be able to muster up the drive to survive in such a bleak environment
I like to learn survival so I think I can do it in a month.
Always a blast watching these! Also, this particular creation makes the 1-up mushroom the ultimate paradox 🤔
Or the 1 up mushroom is why luigi is a zombie
All of your artworks have an INSANE amount of detail, i wish i could make art like that. I wouldn’t even know to begin. I would probably last an hour or two trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world since i don’t run that fast and I don’t know how to fight.
When he was making Peach I thought for a moment that he was just doing great. Then I saw how it ended and regreted it😂
Nice job man😊
Your sculpting has inspired me to also start sculpting again and to not be afraid of little mistakes and to just go with the flow. Alsooooo, I'd probably be one of the first people to get infected because I love mushrooms so much, they're just so bouncy and all so unique. They're so funnn
MR NORTH I IMPLORE YOU I HAVE SPENT LITERALLY 1000s OF HOURS OF MY LIFE SPEEDRUNNING SUPER MARIO 64 I WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO BE THE PROUD CARETAKER OF THIS INCREDIBLE DIORAMA LOVE YOUR WORK KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO
ALSO MY SUBSCRIBERS LOVE YOU TOO
exept me /s
i want conure to win
absolutely incredible to see a joke I made back in high school come to life unexpectedly ten years later LOL
I like to think I'd survive the shroompocalypse but realistically I'd get taken out within a couple days lmao
“I don’t wanna go head first” he said, proceeding to sculpt the head first.
This is so clever. The moment I saw the thumbnail I instantly understood the concept. That's some good art.
I think I'd die pretty quick in this world honestly haha
I love the ideas you come up with for your pieces.
That's my main stumbling point with sculpting. As for surviving, I'd raid my pharmacy early, get as much canned food and water as possible get in the RV an drive somewhere weird in the woods and hope no one else picked the same spot.
This is one of my favorite sculptures I've seen you make! I would survive only until I encountered an infected. I can't jump high enough to stomp them like Mario would.
We thought of a story for this one
Story: long ago, in the mushroom kingdom, Mario and Luigi were having fun with each other, both decided to join Princess Peach in her castle. Until one day, the mushrooms that the brothers normally consume, turn those who touch them into Mushroom Zombies, both of them were shocked and scared like none other. Unfortunately Luigi fell victim to the mushrooms, Mario could do nothing but watch as his brother was consumed by the mushrooms, with Luigi's last breath he said "Mario.. help.. me" Mario had no choice but to leave him, he ran to save Peach from her zombified servants. Years later in the future, the mushroom kingdom has fallen, while trying to escape, they encounter an old friend

I need more
Part 2
Story: Years passed by, Mario and Peach were leaving the remains of Bowser's castle, in search of supplies, while leaving, Mushroom Zombies were on them. The fight was a blood bath, but in the end, the two had survived. Mario and Peach were tired and tried to rest, but luck was not on their side, Clickers were on them, the two were doing their best to keep quiet, they peeked through the wall to find Clickers of all kinds, Toad, Bowser's son, Donkey Kong, but the one who stood out from the others, was the first, Luigi. Mario was horrified by seeing what his brother had become, Peach couldn't believe seeing them all like this, a fate worse than death. The remaining Clickers has left after Mario misdirected them, but Luigi had developed smarter and stronger, and knew it was a distraction. Mario and Peach were up against the monster that was once by their side, they navigated away from Luigi, but he had caught up with them, Peach was scared to the bone that she couldn't move, Mario instructed Peach to stay quiet, so that Luigi wouldn't hear them.
@@SlightlyOdd finished with part 2
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I honestly and probably wouldn’t survive the night in any post apocalyptic setting lmao😅😂 but I also wanted to say that I found your channel under my recommendations a few months ago and instantly fell in love with your work! You’ve honestly inspired me to try and get into sculpting so thanks for all you do!
Probably one of my favorite sculpts you've done. Kudos!
My wife and I love watching your videos every week. What you are able to create is truly amazing and we really appreciate all the hard work you put in your videos. In terms of surviving a mushroom apocalypse, we would say we would last maybe a day or two at most 😅
Thank you for this amazing creation Adam. Your videos cure my anxiety and I can’t wait to see your next video. I was wondering if you find yourself wanting to make another Mario scary creation. How about a Luigi’s Mansion inspired thing?
Again thank you for making this great content for us :)
honestly so impressive how you make these seem so easy to make. and i would probably not last long in a apocalypse tbh
