This will forever be the low-bar of boxart to make almost everything look better in comparison.
Mario covers are used to show off the newest power ups or abilities just about every time
SMB - Fire mario
SMB2 - item holding/throwing
SMB3 - Tanooki Mario
SMW - Cape and Yoshi
SM64 - Wing Cap
SMS- FLUDD
SMG - Mario flying through space, I guess it's more about the setting
SMG2 - Return of Yoshi
SM3DW - Cat Suit

You are probably the only one with that opinion. This boxart looks way too busy, the first Nintendo boxart I dislike on Wii U, besides Nintendoland.

The box art gives me a vibe that this will be the worst main Mario game for a nintendo console. I don't like it. It doesn't feel as iconic as the Super mario 64 boxart. Mario boxarts should be simple, not too much characters in it.
no, you're not alone... I can't wait to gather 3 friends and let the hilarity begins.

That's weird. It's the gameplay videos, impressions, and screenshots that do that for me. (assuming we're talking about the 3D series)

SMB2 enemies really did exist, especially in Yoshi's Island. Mario's dream helped him remember enemies he encountered as a baby. D:

Looks about as mediocre as the game looks.
EDIT: Super Mario 3D World: Attack of the Lower World Cat People

Much better.
I don't even have gaming friends :'(

Too busy, it needs space to breathe.

Let's hope you are right because I would really like to play a Mario game like this.

I don't like that box art at all.

It's the reason I bought a Wii U, personally. Sequel to the fantastic SM3DL with four players and in HD? Fuck yeah.
It looks amazingly fun, no doubt about that. But I think it's going to be like MK: Double Dash, or Smash Bros. Melee. Games on the gamecube that sold a ton, probably convinced some gamers to pick up the system but were never part of a general rise in hardware sales that the system truly needed.
Too hairy.
Luigi's head is cut off. That alone should tell you it's temporary and that they just slapped a piece of art onto a Wii U template.
Mario is getting too soft....
In Super Mario World the music was superb. You had the whimsical running-around-the-level songs, and the "crap this cave is legit" songs.
I heard none of that variety in NSMB with the elevator music. It really drains A LOT of charm from the series and makes it sterile. There is a big difference between background music and a THEME.

GameFly already has a much higher-res box:
Will add to OP. If a mod can fix the title to fit, that would be really appreciated.

Wha?!
I love Dream Team's boxart. It's clean, simple and has that amazing art style to it.

Wish they made that Peach render look less derpy. It's as if her eyes doesn't know where to stare.GameFly already has a much higher-res box:

In the little bit of the game I played at E3, the colors of the cat suits were way too similar to each other and it had me confused as to which player was mine. I hope they fix that for the full release.

Cat Weegee looks like a Frog.
AWESOME. Love it so much! You got the heroes in their normal forms up top, and then in kitty cat mode down below. They even squeezed in the clear pipes and the distinctive 3D-style topography. HNNG!GameFly already has a much higher-res box:

They could've saved time by just saying "Up to 4 players!" like on the New Super Mario Bros. Wii box.
Instead of having the main characters both in regular and cat forms, they should have just had them in different forms. ex: Super Mario, Fire Luigi, Cat Peach, Tanooki(?) Toad.
I like it, but back then all you had to do was put Mario on the cover. Perhaps today's audiences think that's too simple.

What the hell, I don't understand why people are bagging on this boxart.
This is one of the slickest covers I've seen. Man, those character renders are lit perfectly . And I love that top down composition.
People still salty it's a sequel to the greatest 3D Mario game ever instead of a new Galaxy or something.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.

Mario looks like he's made out of candy or something.
What, is this cover scratch-and-sniff or something?
