Guess The Costume

edited December 2010 in Forum Games
Here's an interesting little game I have for you.

In the past few years I've been busy working on graphical sprites, mostly on a certain character, Mona, from WarioWare. I've mostly been creating costumes for her, at least all of the costumes she appears with in the game series, but also some suits not in the game, mainly costumes based on other characters, teams or even power-ups.

So, what I have here are fifty costumes I made for Mona. Each costume is either from a character, an entire team, based on a power-up or based on a costume Mona actually wore in the game. They are designated as follows:

C = Character
A = Alias / Alter ego
T = Team
P = Power-up Costume
M = Mona's Costume

A quick explanation.

C is just a character, may it be from a game, movie, novel, comic or even real life. It can be practically anybody.

A is an alter ego / alias of a character, but not just a character, a character previously featured in Guess the Costume.

T is an entire team. This is purely if the team is referred to as a group, not as one individual. It can be an organisation or even a band.

P is a power-up costume. It refers to the costume itself, not the power-up, although you can give the name of the power-up if it's possible. However, it generally is easier to just refer to the costume itself, seeing as it at least gets a fan nickname.

M is a costume Mona wears in one of the WarioWare games. I don't want to hear the name of the game or even the name of the microgame set, since the microgame set is mostly one of the hints. In fact, this one is one of the easiest, seeing as you can either Google for Mona or just go to any Mario-related wiki and search up the technical name of the costume she's wearing. There's really no excuse to not be specific in this case.

When you find an R in front of one of the above letters, it means that this character is the exact same character as a previous costume, meaning, there is a costume from that very same character found earlier.

Each image has a hint attached to them. These hints are fairly easy to figure out how to view, but I trust you to not cheat on it. If you do need a hint, however, you can request a hint for any character. However, people should at least attempt to guess the character, and you should give people the chance to guess the character. To make it even fair, you can only post five guesses at a time, and then wait until either there have been five replies or a confirmation has been posted by me.

There are also two kinds of hints. First there's the letter hint, which adds letters or even parts of the name of the costume. The second type of hint is the descriptive hint. Most of these hints can be searched with Google, which is the entire purpose of it.

A costume is guessed correctly if at least part of the name is right, that is, the part of the name that the character is mostly recognized as. For example, "That chick from WarioWare" is not correct, however, "Mona" is. If the character has a last name, in almost all cases only the first name is sufficient. The name of the source is not required and does not yield bonus points, but can be provided anyway for bragging rights.

Once all costumes are guessed a new batch might be added. The old batch gets placed in a new post, to avoid confusion.

Points are given to the first person to guess the character. Because this is just a sort of "test", each image stands for one point, regardless of how many hints have been given.

So anyway, happy guessing!

Quick rules
  • Guess the costumes with the characters, using the following keys (shown next to the costume number):
    C Character
    A Alias / Alter ego (previously featured on Guess the Costume)
    T Team
    P Power-up Costume
    M Mona's Costume
  • For all of the costume types, save for type M, you mostly don't have to be specific. However, for type M, it is required for you to actually be specific, seeing as you can just wiki it.
  • An R indicates that the costume is a character from an early batch, only in an alternate costume.
  • Up to five guesses per post, next post with guesses can only be made after either five other people have made a post or the guesses have been verified and judged. This is due to the fact that everybody deserves a chance to also guess, so that you are not hogging the answers.
  • You can request hints. There are two types: name hints, which adds a few letters to the name, and text hints, which adds a descriptive hint.
  • All hint requests that are not specified in either two will give you the default hint, meaning it first goes trough all name hints, after which the text hints are given.
  • Google is a must (but not required) if you really want to guess all characters.
  • When all images but five of the current batch are guessed, a new batch will be added, meaning, if there are only five images of the current batch left, a new batch will be posted, regardless of how many of the previous batches are still on.

    All correct.

    49-Kim Possible
    47-Elaine (From Monkey Island)

    0049 and 0047 are correct, 0011 has to be more specific, since that one is confirmed to be a Mona Costume.

    0022 is correct. Technically 0046 isn't correct, since it has been labeled "team".

    0023 is correct.

    Correct.

    I'm really surprised many of you don't even need the hints. Either that, or you guys knew how to view the hints. The IRC channel I tested it out didn't even know some you guys did know, even WITH all hints enabled.
  • edited August 2010
    I've never used any hints. I just like this thread as I can let my utter geekyness shout with freedom.

    I have other guesses but I wonder if it'll be unfair or not.

    That is incorrect, you lose a point.

    No, just kidding, but it's incorrect. Nice try though, and I do think that one is one of the harder ones.

    The underscores show how many letters it has, by the way, but seeing as you guys aren't dumb, I guess I should have just left this comment out.
  • edited August 2010
    Okay, now it's way clear to me.

    15- Dee Dee from Dexter's Laboratory.
    32- Dawn from Pokémon Diamond & Pearl
    3- My secondary guess is Samus Aran in her Zero suit.
    21- Danny Fenton from Danny Phantom.
    11- Hammer Bros powerup from SMB3

    Only 0015, 0032 and 0011 are correct.

    I think next to 0021, 0003 is the hardest, but we'll see.

    Bunny is correct.

    Anyway, I have a few ideas for the next batch, which would, depending on how fast you guys guess it, contain at least ten, but probably more. The faster you guess all, the less time I have to make new ones :P

    0016 technically is correct, however, it does have a name. But since it has only been mentioned once and also is one of the easiest ones to Google, I'll just count it as a correct. The rest is also correct.

    20- Wilma Flintstone

    Btw, isn't Tanooki suit a Power Up more than a Character? So it should have had P. I was guessing that it was the Tanooki suit but never let it out loud because of the type mismatch.

    I don't knwo the name of the costume but I had played warioware touched so i had seen it in the videoclip and in the costume selection

    Yeah, that was kind of an oversight. 50 data files for each character is a bit much, and sometimes an error pops up I haven't noticed.

    By the way, 0020 is correct.

    14 Lee Kanker

    Correct.

    0004 is not Elektra.

    Yeah, I'm in love with this game. You did really put your time and consideration on it, with all the artwork and hints and stuff. Also, I always found Mona a cute character.

    You need costume ideas on a new roster? I got some ideas here and there, and I'm willing to stop guessing the costumes if you say yes (as it would be unfair for such a person to stay in game).

    Well, it doesn't matter anyway, seeing as I always try to create at least four more for every suggestion I do anyway. For example, 0045 (Ashley) was a request on IRC, after which I created the following five.

    I'm also very pleased to hear both Elaine and Morgan got guessed almost immediately. It shows that they do have costumes that really belong to them.

    Yeah, working with pixels is a hard issue, and I have to say you're really good at it.

    So I can PM you about those, right?
