<p>Geno, as you’ve likely heard by now, has returned to the <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/n64/super_smash_bros">Smash Bros.</a></strong> series once again as a Mii Fighter costume.</p>
<p>It might not necessarily be the news <em>every</em> Geno fan wanted to hear, but hey – some acknowledgment is arguably better than nothing. To celebrate this special occasion, <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/snes/super_mario_rpg_legend_of_the_seven_stars">Super Mario RPG</a></strong>‘s character designer, Kazuyuki Kurashima, has shown some original concept artwork of what Geno looked like <em>before</em> his design was finalised.</p>
<p>Here’s every shot, courtesy of Kurashima’s official Twitter account:</p>
