Grand Dad

Grand Dad is a character from the NES bootleg game 7 GRAND DAD, with the appearance of an awfully colored Mario.

The game is a hacked version of the game The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy, with the title screen edited and Fred Flintstone's head being replaced with Mario's. Another character which bears a striking resemblance to Grand Dad, called Fortran, appears in the game Dian Shi Ma Li, another NES bootleg game. Grand Dad became an internet meme when Youtuber Vinesauce Joel played 7 GRAND DAD while streaming NES bootlegs. His reaction to the bootleg became a recurring joke in the Vinesauce community.

In M.U.G.E.N, Grand Dad has been made by Pizzasause. TheBrainJemin released two edits of arcadboy's Fortran, making it resemble Grand Dad.

Pizzasause's version


This version uses Kung Fu Man as a base and uses the sprites of the playable character from 7 GRAND DAD, rather than the ones from the title screen of the game, though it does use the sprite from the game's title screen in one of its Hypers and its intro. It'll be difficult to have a grand old time with a moveset this limited, featuring only 11 attacks in total with duplicates across all three statetypes.

TheBrainJemin's first version


TheBrainJemin edited arcadboy's Fortran, making it resemble Grand Dad and adding a jingle from 7 GRAND DAD and a voice clip from Vinesauce Joel.

TheBrainJemin's second version


TheBrainJemin released a second version of Grand Dad, adding the Fred icon from the title screen of 7 GRAND DAD. Also, more voice clips from Vinesauce Joel were added and the XD sprite that appears when Grand Dad hits an opponent was replaced with a 7.
