HellJumper's Hellish Pixel Drop Zone

[HellJumper]

The Mario Bros sprites you see on the left are the standard ones, while the ones on the right are more akin to Super Mario Flashback's art style. When I ask for constructive criticism, usually people are recommending changes that'd make them look more cartoonish like the ones on the right, so I've decided to give it a shot. The reason I haven't done that in the past, and will stick with the standard ones, is that it's contradictory to the style I'm going for with these sprites. But hey, tell me what you think. All I really did was change the color palette and shading, so I didn't really change Mario's stance to look more expressive and less stiff like he is in the actual games.

Who knows. If enough people prefer that style, or simply like it, I'll include that art style as an option for the game I'm making these sprites for.

 Jumping feet first into hell isn't my job; making sure it's crowded when I get there is.
