User blog:CrazyNaut/The Gray Wario Costume

Do you see the pink and gray costume listed third on this list? Because apparently that's a reference to a character, and I'm hoping to gather as many people together to help find out what.

The only person who isn't a dev to know the answer to this is Bedoop!, who won't give the answer away. However, he's given several "hints" for us to work off of:
 * The character is not related to the Mario or Wario series; in fact, it's not even a Nintendo character
 * In one post, he says it's not "something nintendo liscensed in any way", and I'm not sure if that's meant to shorten our scope even further
 * Despite not being Nintendo, it's still technically related to Wario
 * At least according to his words, "the resemblance is uncanny"

So I'm hoping everyone on this wiki can combine our minds together to come up with who this could be.

= The Answer = Quite recently, I was informed that the game the costume came from was one of the games Refurin happened to be streaming the night before. After a bit of digging through the chat, I found out that the game happened to be a Kongregate Flash game called Clarence's Big Chance, with the character in question being the main protagonist Clarence Lardbottom.

Like Bedoop! said, the resemblance is uncanny. The colors of his pink shirt and gray pants are exactly the same as Wario's, right down to the shading. The brown of his tie is reflected in the W on Wario's cap. The yellow teeth I didn't even notice before are a reference to Clarence's own. Even the slight change of skin color is spot-on. And of course, both characters are fat and grotesque men with pink noses who star in platformers.

As a side note, the orange costume was clarified as well. But the wording is confusing so I'll leave it here for now while I figure out how to write it in:

''The orange and purple one is a combination of two things. One was an off-yellow and purple one that didn't look that great, combined with an orange and blue one based on the old Mario that also looked bad, they came together and produced one super costume that was infinitely superior to either.''
