spritecomp #9 2017; new 3d ally!

[SilverVortex]

I'm not really clear what I am supposed to do. Just come up with any new ally?

What's the relevance of the 3D part?

I'm very unclear on what to do. Help!

so, you're supposed to come up with a new ally that sorta plonks itself onto mario's cap/back/wherever, like fludd, baby luma, or cappy.
as for the 3d part, it means we want something for a 3d mario game, NOT a paper mario game.

understand?
