I really like the new art style. The use of pastel colors goes hand in hand with what I imagine a 2023 Super Mario Bros game should be like: an interactive cartoon. That's why I also really liked the new character models. They are really expressive.
More importantly, I'm glad Nintendo is taking risks with this one. The game is apparently not set in the mushroom kingdom, but in a new place with never-before-seen inhabitants (the flower kingdom, maybe?)
The level design in particular looks wild, with lots of new mechanics like those rails that Mario can use to go faster and those flowers that make everything go crazy. That, in particular, is insane and they said we can expect a lot of weird things from it.
The last thing that captured my attention was the number of playable characters. Daisy and Yoshi are finally playable (Mario can get on top of him mid stage) alongside Peach who’s not the damsel in distress. Mario and company seem to have new base abilities too, like floating, and will be turning themselves into elephants lol!
Overall, I’m pretty excited. Feels like a worthy successor to the classics and even the name is cool.
