#This applies to most modern games btw not just Mario

[sleepy-hijinx]

am I the only one who doesn’t particularly love modern Mario graphics? Like so much of it feels too clean and rubbery like a bathtub toy

biggest reason I didn’t like Mario Wonder was because it felt like that issue x5. Like it looks like if someone remembered super Mario bros Wii and it was more colorful than it actually was. I do like some of the new enemies and stuff but to me I just did not get the hype around wonder and I do not care for it really. If they killed off Wonder I’d be uncaring and unfeeling.

The recent Mario Parties have the same issue, like I straight up can’t differentiate between Mario Party Jamboree and Superstars and super Mario party like if you put a gun to my head and told me which is which I’d die.

the only games in recent times I think aren’t as bad in this super squeaky clean aspect is the Mario RPG remake (it feels like there’s texture on buildings and streets and whatnot, it’s less like I’m looking at a fisher price toy), Princess Peach Showtime, the Paper Mario Remake and Luigi’s Mansion 3

that’s all to say I really like the art style of the OG super Mario RPG, and the Mario and Luigi games, and we should embrace grit, texture, and pixels once more.
