Wingo's design is growing on me. Fair to say he's the main villain until Bowser hijacks the plot?

I can see it. I was mostly pointing out the Spike and Charging Chuck artwork are I think the exact same as the 3D World artwork. I think everything else is new though...

I think Kamek has done PS shapes since Yoshi's Island.
Edit:

If we want to get really specific, it goes back to Super Mario World when Magikoopas debuted

the expressiveness of hd era nintendo games is so good

what an adorable game <3

It's amazing how such a strong art style can completely transform a game's presentation and bring it to a whole other level.

You kinda need arms to drive a kart, don't you?

King boo did it with no feet to press the pedals , logic is left at the door. also its wings could act like arms

This game has the potential to be one of the most charming games ever. Is there going to be a paucity of content? I'm just curious as to why it's retail is less than other titles (unless it's because it is a new 'franchise').

December 5th feels so far away right now...

 

[Log4Girlz]

I can imagine their next gen games looking like that.

 

[Dany]

So fucking cute im going to cry.

 

[DrWong]

Look, it's Cerny.

*brofist* Yepper, though this since 3D Land. Looks VERY similar to Banjo's bee form.

I thought they're more inspired by the bees in Super Mario Land 2, personally.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Thx for posting the images op. Beautiful.

I really didn't think this would gain as much traction as it has. Did Captain Toad actually catch on? Seems like one of those games that would be an amazing piece but no one would care. Guess we can have nice things from time to time.

There are 70+ levels but each level is much smaller than a typical 3D World level, and they look to be much easier, too. We still don't really know the purpose of the collectibles or any of the post-game content, not to mention how Amiibo integration is going to work, so it's hard to gauge the value of the package.

He was used so little, I totally forgot. Nice catch though!

Actually no.

Toad carrying a Chaos Emerald woot....

 

[Papercuts]

Kind of reminds me of Banjo-Kazooie; probably the eyes.

First thing I thought too.

They should unveil him as Peach at first, then when she tries her Toad counter thing, he turns and smashes her with the pickaxe.

 

[@MUWANdo]

Actually no.

None of those levels look especially big. Even that last one is just "average size" as opposed to "tiny" like all the others.

It's not a criticism--it doesn't bother me that they're smaller, and Luigi U actually benefited from having smaller levels--but the lack of challenge does put me off.

That's...that's awful

Good, she shouldn't have used him as a shield :^(

This reminds me so much of Dodo and Valentina from Nimbus Land in Mario RPG... I am now beyond thirsty for a remake of that game in this graphics engine. Would be perfect with the isometric camera and everything.

Yes please. I don't see it happening, but it would be my dream.

Always loved this cutesy art style, comes off as really beautiful in some cases as well.
