I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I said I like how Rare's characters look in-game. What does SMRPG Bowser have to do with anything?

I posted a picture of a horribly drawn Bowser to complement your point about not putting any stock into early CGI character renders from the 90s. Bowser looking like shit in this form doesn't mean the character is badly designed.
I like collectathons a lot and played and loved just about every Rare game except Donkey Kong 64 but I don't want to blow my eshop money already.
Should I download this game in a few days???
I feel like Rares biggest problem historically was that they never really realized when enough was enough. If collecting "100 notes in a level is cool, then collecting 100 bananas 6x with different characters will be even better!"
This is that game where someone should have asked if it was fun. They just went way overboard on the collection.
This monkeyThey have no style
They have no grace
These weren't even the designs in the final game. It's probably more an instance of 3D renders at the time trying to bring N64 models to life. I don't think there's anything really offensive about Jet Force Gemini's character design in game.
Kiddy is awesome. Quit your hatin' y'all.
Nah, that award goes to post PS2 era Naughty Dog.Uh oh, are we getting to the point where people realize that Rare is probably the most overrated developer of all time?
It's funny because their best character design came from the post MS-buyout period.
Rare didn't make Xenoblade Chronicles X though
Rare's character designs have always been gross.

Is this Splatoon?their characters are always fucking hideous
Lanky was the greatest surprise! I want to see him return so bad.And Lanky.
Wait...Wrinkly Kong is dead? Da freak!
Nah, that ain't the case. I'll refrain from driving the thread into irrelevant territory though. On topic, I still stand that Rare isn't overrated, their general style in both games and design just seems to rub people the wrong way.Seems like they're more popular than they've ever been right now though, but I get that this was probs just an irrelevant knee jerk response.

I'll always be left second guessing with Rare. Especially now given Gruntilda Winkybunion in Banjo-Kazooie and the sound composer pointing out at this years AGDQ that winky is sang for a penis and not once did Nintendo ask about that, they were concerned with the "thank you for playing" voice though as Nintendo thought it was saying "fuck you". It seems like an odd thing to bring up unless it was an intentional joke.And feeding them bananas to make Scoff grow fat was just really off-putting to me as a kid, especially how he belched afterwards. I almost feel like there's some weird feeder fetish underlying this whole deal, like Rare was trying to just make this whole process feel gross and icky. And really, this was probably one of the dumbest implementations of a Collectible---you gotta feed these dudes bananas so one of them will be heavy enough to prop the other one up to reach the key to the Boss Door.
I've heard this is due to not wanting to use characters introduced after DKC1 (something about planning starting at the same time as the rest of the DKC trilogy) but then Wrinkly is included making no sense of that.Those two in the OP are weird but I was OK with them. Tiny on the other hand was really unnecessary when you have Dixie, I thought they were the same at first. That fox with the plans was annoying too.
Rare is overrated in the sense that none of their games when you replay them without the context of hype or rose-tinted glasses are THE BEST GAME EVER MADE material some of the press made out at the time because the graphics were pretty.
Rare didn't make Xenoblade Chronicles X though
