Ok, instead of just taking the easy way out and calling it shit, I'm going to really elaborate.
First of all, you're very inconsistent in which sprite style you're using. In fact, I'm going to illustrate my point in why sprite styles being mixed together suck. Your audience here is in some way shape or form constantly bombarded by sprites. Either oldschool gamers, spriters, rippers or just people who frequent the site. We have been exposed to quite a few and know what looks good to us. The following is pretty much the graphical equivalent of your hodgepodge.

You've taken something that worked well in it's own merits, slapped things that don't mesh, and in some areas fail to clean up the obvious faults.
Second of all, the story is bland and uninteresting. "Mario 3 Luigi" go and take a vacation, princess gets threatened by a moronic bowser with a MechaKoopa overseeing it all. Meanwhile we have pointless segment involving Jhoto, an excuse to make a "Smashed Luigi" (HAR HAR, TRULY A WIT U R) and this boring exposition that explains nothing we couldn't have deduced. You've set yourself up for a cross-over, and really, most of us want nothing to do with it, and you can't make it genuine here.
And finally, you're being inconsistent with your frame count, frame length, and even font. It's very boring, very ugly, and just all in all repulsive.
Please, for the love of whatever shard of talent you may posses, either stop this abomination or desperately try to give it much needed consistency and cohesion.
