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. He's also featured in the game Dian Shi Ma Li, another NES bootleg game. In this game, he's referred to as Fortran rather then Grand Dad. 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 arcadboy (under the name of Fortran) and Pizzasause. TheBrainJemin released two edits of arcadboy's Fortran. Strangely, the version of arcadboy predates the rise of the Grand Dad meme.

arcadboy's version


This character uses the sprite from the title screen of Dian Shi Ma Li and a recolor of Grand Dad's sprite from the title screen of 7 GRAND DAD. Said sprites are the character's only sprites. This character's only attack involves jumping on the opponent. It can only take two hits before dying instantly.

Pizzasause's version


This version uses Kung Fu Man as a base and uses the sprites from the playable character from 7 GRAND DAD, rather than the ones from the title screen of the game.
