Common in many popular games, Idle Animations have been used in more games and animations than thought to be. An idle animation is an animation present when the visible character is not in motion. Many games posses this type of animation like Super Smash Bros Ultimate or Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon. Out of the idle animations from What makes a great idle animation? Devs share their favorites, the idle animation of Mario sleeping was my favorite with Aladdin as a close second. The animation itself is not all that appealing, however, I have grown up playing Mario games and it just made me giggle. It is very entertaining seeing how Mario and his Idle Animations have so drastically changed over the years. Now, with more realistic graphics, Mario's Idle Animations are made to have movements and external factors that make it seem even closer to reality.It is interesting how the animators created this Idle Animation, because the shadow under Mario moves along with him creating the illusion of motion. It also appears that there was a hint of perspective to make it seem like Mario was realistically falling towards the gamer. Assuming that I stay with the Game Art Design for the rest of my high school experience, I would like to play around with making little idle animations like the one above.
