Usage

Trigger Words

mrioman, a 3D CGI style character with short brown hair, wearing a red cap, a black moustache, blue overalls, and white gloves

Example Prompt

masterpiece, absurd res, close up shot of mrioman, a 3D CGI style character with short brown hair, wearing a red cap, a black moustache, blue overalls, and white gloves, sitting comfortably on a grey sofa while holding a slice of pepperoni pizza in one hand and giving a thumbs-up gesture with the other. He has an enthusiastic open-mouthed smile as he watches a video game displayed on a large television screen to his left. The cozy living room background features warm string lights, a lit lamp, bookshelves filled with games, and a window showing it is nighttime outside.

Negative Prompt

(leave empty — Z-Image Turbo does not use negative prompts)

Recommended Settings

Setting Value Sampler res_multistep Scheduler simple Steps 8-9 CFG Scale 1.0 LoRA Strength 0.8 – 1.2 Resolution 768x1280 / 832x1216 / 1024x1024

⚠️ Z-Image Turbo requires CFG 1.0 and no negative prompt. Do not use standard samplers like Euler or DPM — use res_multistep for best results.

Tips

• Portrait ratio gives the cleanest character renders — try 768x1280

• LoRA strength 1.0 is the sweet spot for most prompts

• Drop to 0.8 if colours look oversaturated

• Push to 1.2 if Mario identity feels weak

• Works great with indoor environments, game-inspired backgrounds, and toy/collectible aesthetics

• Background characters from the Mario universe appear naturally at higher strengths
