I hate to do a topic like this

I know that we need to edit the sprites because their style is so difficult, we need to keep up the sizes, but with a simpler style, right?. Maybe we can try do this:

1. Use a pallete with less colours.
2. Use a pallete more colourful.
3. Since I think that decorate very much the characters isn't the best option, we would draw only the indispensable elements of the sprite. For example, it's obvious that Ness' bag and hat or Link's sword and shield must be painted, but other things (like Mario's "embroideries" in his costume) can be out.

I edited a bit the Mario's sprite with my opinion about the new style (I know that isn't the same edited one sprite that create one sprite... sorry.), and I've made this:



In my opinion, we need to do the character fine but with their essences. I like the actually sprite of Mario, but I think that he has too dark colours. I think that somebody can say "Ohh, this Mario is very good, I can't do something like this" when they can see the sprite because the colours are too dark and real. Maybe if we change the palletes...

But I'm not sure if with this we are going to a better way or by wrong way, because I am not a good spriter. xD
