How could you say that, Valigarmander? What happened? Everyone except for you knows SMB3 was the best out of SMB1,2, and 3.
Wait a minute? It was a play?!

It does highlight how SMB3 was sort of whimsical. With all the stage references, that is.

Also, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island: actually drawn by a four-year-old. It was not an epic struggle in the past against a megamaniacal turtle, it was just some kid with crayons and pastels.

This leaves me to wonder if SMW was made up of smashed coffee table drawings, considering the kind of wonky pseudo-3D style present in its sprites.

Follwing this trend the Mario Land games were donedeliberatly monocrhone as both a callback to silent films and as a nod to Mario's status as a silent hero.

Anyone that never noticed the bushes being recolored clouds has attention issues.

But... it's so cleverly disguised in a variety of ways! They changed the colours, for example.
