>They're not humans from the mushroom kingdom
Neither is the characters in pic related.
Nor is Dr. E. Gadd (presumably) or Princess Rosalina.
Nor is most of the other human characters in the Wario Land and Wario Ware games.
Nor is the aforementioned MAYOR Pauline. Nor was Stanley from Donkey Kong 3.
If they can introduce all these non-MK inhabiting cartoony looking characters in all of the above listed games, they can definitely do it with Odyssey as well.

>Sonic 06 has Sonic becoming romantically involved with a normal ass looking human and the people there generally didn’t act or move too oddly which made them stand out even more from Sonic’s typical world and cast.
Yeah, and I agree that was pretty jarring (and creepy) as fuck, however even the "realistic" npcs neither moved nor acted like real humans either, which added to the already heavily discrepant vibe of it all.
The painful irony of it all however is that Sega realized this fuck-up by the time Unleashed was in development and decided to hire cartoonists that designed npcs that were a lot more consistent with the equally cartoony style the series is known for. Sega, of all companies realized a mistake they've made, while Nintendo with their latest game didn't, and so far hasn't as of yet...wow.

cont'd.
