The objective of this project was to design a set of Nintendo themed playing cards.
Mario is the king of the mushroom suit because he is the main character in the Mario series. Princess Peach is the queen because she is of royalty in the Mushroom Kingdom. Luigi is the jack because he is a secondary character but not of royalty.
Here are the rest of the cards in the mushroom suit.
Link is the king of the triforce suit because he is the main character in the Zelda series. Princess Zelda is the queen because she is of royalty in the Kingdom of Hyrule. Shiek is the jack because she was a supporting character to Link in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Here are the rest of the cards in the triforce suit.
Kirby is the king of the star rod suit because he is the main character in the Kirby series. King Dedede is the queen because he is of royalty in Dream Land and there are no other royal figures in the Kirby series that are female. Meta Knight is the jack because he is Kirby's rival but assists Kirby many times.
Here are the rest of the cards in the star rod suit.
Pikachu is the king of the pokéball suit because it is the mascot in the Pokémon series. Jigglypuff is the queen because it is a very recognizable Pokémon in the series with feminine colors. Charizard is the jack because it is also a recognizable Pokémon in the series who's first evolution in the first generation game was picked as a starter.
Here are the rest of the cards in the pokéball suit.
Each joker has two villains (one from each series) and two of the anti-versions of the main suits. The back of the card has the four suits repeated in a pattern.
