And the Lords of Gaming said “Let there be rock!!”

Mistakes: The Toad with the black canopy has a weirdly shaped mouth. And I will admit, on all the Toads in this concept and the other concepts, they were rushed on both drawing and coloring, thus they are in a more normal pose than Peach.
Addressing: Instruments. I decided not to include instruments for the Toads in all but the Extra concept.

Before I start with Peach, I would like to talk about the four toads there. Remember the Peach Hit Five from Super Princess Peach (the band that played music in the Music menu)? Well, I took the band and made some changes. Take out Super Princess Peach and power that on ‘cause I’m gonna explain something here, so pay attention. First, I took old man Toadsworth out as both lead guitar and a member, so the one with the black and white guitar is now lead. The one with the blue guitar will stay as the bassist. The drummer will still be drummer. Added to the band will be an original toad and will be playing keyboard. Along with this shift, I also changed two member’s canopy patterns. The names I’m about to say are unofficial and should not be taken literally as part of the official Nintendo universe.

(From left to right)

Keys: The new member added to the Peach Hit Five and is the Keyboard Player. He’s the strangest of the members as he tends to say strange things. Not only that, when he plays the synthesizer his movements are erratic and goofy but plays the keys with great expertise.
Snare: The drummer of the band. By Toad standards, he would be considered bald since he has no pattern on his canopy. He is the shortest member on the band and is stubborn. With every concert, the band has to always check up on him to make sure he doesn’t get tired (they need him for the after party!). In return, he yells back at them, “Remember, NO STAIRWAY!!!!”
Strings: The Lead of the band. He is a normal Toad with normal canopy patterns and normal height. But his riffs are un-toadly and also un-human. He gets his inspiration from countlessly listening to music from his favorite band, Koopaforce. He is now on his tenth guitar (he broke five of them and the other four he set them on fire for no reason).
Bass: The Bassist of the band. Just like his bass guitar, he’s quiet and cool. Just don’t break his groove on a good day, he tends to lock himself in his room and come out with a long sleeve shirt when you do. Thankfully, Keys’ antics humors the hell outta him. Attempts to remove Keys from the band just from his looniness fails due to Bass’ persuasiveness to keep him.

Okay, so for this concept, I didn’t know what to draw since Alternative rockers don’t have a concrete look to them. So I decided to base everyone on the Alt rock band The Killers. For Peach, I went for the secretary look to match up with the business suits of the other members. As for the logo, that is based on the logo by alt band Muse.

This is for all the Peach fans out there, specifically the two biggest fans that I know of, and

This is also for all the Alternative rock fans like me out there.
