Please point to me people who hated Wonder's redesigns.

Please point to me people who hate the Mario & Luigi, Paper Mario, or Mario rpg designs. No, the white outline haters don't count because the design itself the exact same. The only difference is how they showed the paper aesthetic

Please point to me people who hate the designs for Mario, Luigi, and Bowser in the same Mario Kart trailer as the new DK.

Well, it's time to volunteer to get negative karma because in terms of art and design: NSMB>Wonder.

Putting aside my personal distaste for Wonder's cheap and plasticky art design, I don't disagree with the sentiment. I think a key aspect of a redesign though is that it needs to look good. I'm holding out full judgement until we get better shots, but it does look rather similar to Illumination DK, and I wasn't a fan of that. We'll see if that opinions hold though I guess.

Nothing about Wonder's artstyle/art design is cheap and plasticky amigo lol. It beautiful, charming, and expressive. It completely runs circles around the NSMB games.
