Something something Donkey Picnic.

Mario 2 is probably a little more polished.
>bigger eyes
>extra 2 pixels of mustache
>arm position is different
>2nd arm and leg visible
>blue clothes instead of black

SMB2 looks more detailed and interesting, but I really love SMB3 color palette.

2US has more colors and tried to make them accurate, but the 3 one goes for a more striking and stylized color palette that looks nicer to me
also putting them side by side has made me realize 3 is an expanded 2US

mario 3 is the peak of 2d design

3 for me, but 2 is nice. The dot eyes of three are charming and characterful. Striking colors.

can mario 2 transform into another creature by holding down?
didnt think so

>>9091689
He can super jump though!

>>9091597
Other way around. The Mario 3 sprite came first. During the Doki Doki Panic reworking they took the Mario 3 sprite and reused it in Mario 2. The Princess has the same artwork in both games as well.

>>9091718
Dumbass, how could sprites from Mario 3 be made before Mario 2?

>>9091796
Because SMB3 was created first.
>Both games (SMB3 and SMB2) released in October 1988
>SMB3 started development after Lost Levels (in 1986), and took 2 years to make
>SMB2 is a graphical conversion of Doki Doki Panic, probably done in the Summer of 1988

>>9091796
a little known fact is mario 2 was doki doki panic

>>9091529
2 for sure

multiple overlapping dev cycles, retard-kun
>2LL is out June 3, 1986
>(some people go make SMB3, others convert DDP into 2US)
>2US is out October 9, 1988 in the US
>SMB3 is out October 23, 1988 in Japan

>>9091529
2 and not even close, but 3 was doing more graphically demanding things overall as it moved the scene (and on both axes while employing layers and more complex physics), so dedicating a bonus sprite against the limit per line to do eye whites was a luxury it didn't have. Anyway SMB2U was an amazingly polished looking game with a nailed-down visual style, while SMB3 was more like very advanced technology being shown off with a couple sacrifices (the other being the glitch column used for scrolling, that only some TVs would show).

>>9091656
Interesting that buzzy beetles never got the black outline. I wonder if it has something to do with them being primarily underground? Also I never realized that their sprites for both 1 and 3 are identical other than the colors.

>>9091529
Either sprite is preferable to the disaster that is the All-Stars abomination.

>>9091656
SMB3's design is very concise. I rike it.

OH MY SCIENCE JUST LOOK AT THE HECKING SOULY SOULERINO I JUST LOVE SPRITE ART MARIO RULES LMAO JUST 90's KIDS THINGS YOU DUMB ZOOMERINOS WOULDN'T KNOW A THING ABOUT LMAO

>>9091846
doki doki… are you an idiot???

>>9091529
I think the 2 colours look better on the 3 sprite.

>>9091689
fug :DDD

Was spike top always supposed to have six legs or was it just an error?

>>9091656
Smw is an oddly ugly game, I guess it was a fugly 90s aesthetic choice.

In my opinion the SMB2 Mario looks cool
I don't care that the SMB3 one is older
I like the SMB2 one better.
(The one for SMB2 is more detailed and looks like a recreation of SMB3)

>>9092705
can you do 1 colors on the 2 sprite? thx

>>9091656
Goombas SMW sprite looks horrid, idk what they were thinking >>9091656

>>9093452

>>9091529
The trump skin doesn't suit mario.

>>9093553
what happens if you invert the overalls on US2 with 1 colors?

>>9093740
Pretty much all of those complains come down to the fact that the angle is different, you're stupid.

by contrast here's modern day Mario

>>9091529
This one

>>9093796
All you had to do was rescue the damn princess, Mario!

>>9091529
SMB2. he has real eyeballs in that one

>>9093796
ayo king koopa..... im finna pop a cap in yo ass nigga shit nigga fuck yeah muhfuggah

>>9091529
2 is objectively better. Way more character and expression in the face. 3 just looks lazy and half assed by comparison, especially since they can't even be bothered to get his overalls the correct color.

>>9092278
Emissaries of Death.

they thought about the going with the same eyes in world

they thought about the same eyes for world

>>9091529
2 easily. SMB3’s black and red coloring is ugly and also baffling because clearly they could’ve used red and blue if they’d wanted.

Mario 1 looks the best really

>>9096602
Mariolets, when will they learn?

>>9091529
Mario 2 has a better sprite

>>9093553
>brown overalls

>>9091529
the one that's not aids to look at

3 was an ugly game with ugly colors.

>>9091689
>>9092750
fucking kek

>>9093459
They're not goomas, they're galoombas

>>9093796

>>9098583
Not ugly, just lazy. Too many reused tiles.

>>9092196
Why don’t you like Allstars? Im playing through smb2 on a snes emulator I created and I thought the sprites looked amazing

>>9093815
Dejiko nyo?

>>9097918
Inverting the colors means using red for the outline which kinda fucks everything up in terms of keeping a solid outline/balance of color

>>9093459
They made them actual Kuribos but everyone got mad about it

>>9099887
Ugly too. No idea what they were thinking with orange fireball Mario. SMB3 is obviously still a great game, but a lot of the sprites are just plain ugly.

>>9100031
Indeed.

>>9101915
Having sex with a Goomba would naturally create smaller offsprings and such.

SMB3 Looks like an early color cartoon from the 30's brought to an interactive adventure, since the designs are mainly round, black colored and outlined due to the previous black and white designs. The color palette is reminiscent of Technicolor pastel as Mario shares a very pale face complexion like Mickey. Even in animation, Mario has a 3 frame, back and forth waddle like at 2:00
