I'll try not derail the topic further but I will mention 8-bit machines are limited to 8-bit colour depth by definition, they are unable to process more than 8-bits at a time making 16-bit / 24-bit colour depth unreachable without techniques that weren't possible until the 64-bit processor. Though I will agree 8-bit is too ambiguous a term and my definition was fairly specialised.
Now onto the not derailing part,
I notice in the new super mario bros 2 mario sheet there is a shade of red indistinguishable from the primary red, reds in particular can be tough to get right but in this case there is near no contrast and the colour is essentially useless.
That said I'm a big fan of that mario / cavestory style sheet.
I'd say what this lot is missing is something entirely custom, an original character or something based off of imagination, it'd b e nice to see how far your creativity can take you and more importantly how you handle forms that may not have such clear reference material.
