The CG render of Mario in the original SMRPG looks adorable and goofy looking, but his remake design looks like Small Mario from _Super Mario 3D World_ but refine his facial expression to make him cuter. The SMRPG remake looks polished and faithful to the original, but I wonder what the original game could've looked like in a style of the promo CG render, which really gives off a stop-motion feel to it.

It looks fine, honestly. It seems like they designed Mario specifically with Small Mario from NSMB in mind while also taking some hints from the original SMRPG whereas the original left it a little ambiguous how small he actually was. SMRPG as a game also matches this art style tone-wise, it isn't like BDSP where the art style in the original was supposed to be a stand in for an actual Anime art style.

Gotta say, Mark, I certainly think this looks like the small-scaled Mario from the modern Super Mario Bros games only with the eyes adjusted for more expression AND those super realistic textures from Odyssey, and I love that look of "Chibi" Mario for this RPG remaster as I feel future Super Mario Bros. games SHOULD have this design as a powered-down Mario. Thanks for sharing this, Mark!

Personally I prefer the remakes art design for one kinda selfish reason, I really do not like that pre-rendered 3D model sprite artstyle. As much as I love Super Mario RPG itself it falls into the same pit as DKC or Sonic 3D Blast where I just think they look really ugly. I was born into the second generation of 3D consoles, so way after this had went from an impressive technical feat to just a novelty. So I can’t really put myself in a situation where I can go anything less than “Wow, this game look like mud, it really should’ve been proper pixel art or fully 3D.”

I like the models, it's the UI I have a big issue with. It's the same with Mario Party Superstars, the game's visuals tries it's best to replicate the feeling of the original, but then change the UI to something lacking personality and not jiving with the rest of the game. It's not a deal breaker, but whenever I look at the UI I see two different eras clashing and it's dissapointing

It's the same mistake that was done with the Diamond and Pearl remake, and people complained SO MUCH about that one... same for the Link's Awakening remake, and I don't think it was a mistake there, since the style was executed wonderfully and everything was made to accommodate it, from the lighting on the characters to the entire OST (and again, lots of people still complained). This remake looks AWFUL, and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't. The UI looks SO BLAND and it's such a weird choice for a game with a chibi art style, why not use the great style of the original UI? The lighting looks INCREDIBLY generic, ugly and unfitting for the style they've chosen. The cutscenes and some animations are nice, but a LOT of animations are exactly the same as they were in the SNES version, and while they look completely normal for an SNES game, they look ATROCIOUS for a 3D switch game (when characters rotate like lifeless 3D models, for example). People complained SO MUCH about the animations in Sword and Shield, but I'm not seeing nearly as many complaints about this remake. I just wish people were more consistent, man... who knows, maybe I'm wrong and there ARE lots of people complaining about this remake, and I'm just not seeing them by pure coincidence. I'm glad we still have the original, but DAMN. What a disappointment. And I didn't even talk about the awful changed texts! I'm glad that the music is amazing tho, even if I prefer the SNES music since I personally love SNES music in general, plus they did an AMAZING job with the amount of limitations that they had at the time, and limitations are a really important thing to consider in my opinion. Just to be clear, I have no problem with chibi art styles (again, I love how the Link's Awakening remake looks like afterall!). I just don't think it was executed well in the slightest here.

Right before the remake was announced, I was considering how a potential remaster would translate the original game into modern graphics. Eventually settled on the idea that they couldn't capture that initial charm... and then the remake was announced. I have been absolutely blown away at how faithful the character design, the art, the everything is in this game. Until watching this video, I didn't think Mario's new design fit in like everything else, but the shot of him next to his old CG render made it obvious what they were going for.
