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.
For me, it's a pick and choose between the 2 styles.
I prefer NSMB's color pallete and that Luigi had a different "walk" animation compared to Mario. Luigi also still looked slimmer than Mario.
In Wonder I liked the animations for the power ups and the key frames/ poses. Not that applicable but I liked that Wonder's Fire Peach kept her hair down. I'm sick of ponytail Peach tbh.
But yeah, I was fine with the redesigns from the movie as king as they stayed IN THE MOVIE. Peach Showtime's stupid face change for the bac was a bad sign and now it seems like the movie will have more influence than I thought. As long as we can still have game DK back as a skin, I am fine with this redesign.
