The water in the original picture is too bright and lacking in details. It looks very strange and interesting. The water in the remake looks like normal water.

The sand in the original looks almost edible, and those black dots make it look really charming. In the remake, the sand looks pretty generic.

Same with the platforms and blocks. In the original, they didn't have shadows or anything. They were just plain orange with some black lines.


You can easily draw the original level, it looks very simple and memorable. The remake graphics are a lot harder to draw and remember because there are too many details. Even Mario looks more complicated, since he has actual shading. I find it less charming and memorable overall.

I guess I don't like sprites with shading. They just look more blurry and ugly.
