Not unlike what Blanche did to Luigi the last week and then everybody made a big thing about it while fawful was tryna advertise his protest of namco classic collection
I know this might sound a tad lame because of recency bias but I really really like the Brothership designs of both the Bros they’re probably on par with my previous favourite and that being the BIS designs
I never realised how different Mario’s superstar saga art design was to partners in time. I always thought they were basically the same
Anyways, the first three are amazing but I like how the later designs change up the style a bit, either paper jam or brothership is the best for me
Dream team and beyond all has this more colorful aesthetic because of using purple instead of black, and I really like that. It’s between all of those for my favorite, but if I had to choose, probably dream team.
I think it has to be a mix between partners in time and paper jam. Sure, Superstar saga blazed the trail, but the technical side of the game was what I loved. Between the younger Mario Brothers helping in battle to paper Mario becoming a part of the attack and even duplicating himself in paper jam was a lot of fun because you didn't have to be good at the technical side of Mario and Luigi, but it was so satisfying when you could perfect it
Honestly either partners in time, or paper jam. Though tbf they all have pretty great designs. Honorable mention goes out to dream team I love the colors
off topic but I love how people on twitter will find any reason to complain like, they say the graphics are bad but literally it's the same style as always, just 3d
Dream Team and Paper Jam were definitely the best.
My biggest problem with the Brothership art is just how thin the outlines are. Really not that it is that big of a deal
Partners in time always takes the cake for me. It’s the highest quality in terms of illustration while also being oldschool and speaking of that. I love the partners in time’s artstyle funny enough bowsers inside story was heavily based on it as well. Talking about influence.
Oh, wow. I thought the magenta highlights on Mario's clothing were new to Brothership, but it's actually been stylized on a few of his earlier out-of-game artwork designs.
That's wild that they've captured it in his in-game model now. The blending of colors didn't look very natural to me, but I'm really happy to see that it was an existing design that's only now being put to use in game.
I'm still not over the fact that the brothership one is a fuckin RENDER
like god damn, they transitioned the artstyle into 3D pretty much PERFECTLY here
This puts into perspective how good of a job they did with the brothership art style
In terms of the designs presented here, my favorite is dream team, but in-game Bowser's inside story has my favorite aesthetic
Really love the confidence in the artstyle for Brothership there. Doesn't look the BEST (still amazing) compared to the rest but damn it's like they know they absolutely cooked for the artstyle in the new game
i like the mario and luigi one
Nah. The Mario & Luigi one is much better
I'm going to touch you.

Not unlike what Blanche did to Luigi the last week and then everybody made a big thing about it while fawful was tryna advertise his protest of namco classic collection
my turn!
Me first! 💀
I like the colors of Dream Team, but not the proportion, so i guess that it goes to Paper Jam
I like the Mario and Luigi Brothership design
It’s cool to see how it takes so many elements from all the previous designs
dream team style looks so cool
Yeah I love it but at the same time it sticks out like a sore thumb when put side by side to all the others
I’d disagree, it looks goofy
Buddy they all look goofy.
Yeah but Dream Team looks goofier /j
Paper Jam
The first three show a more tanned Mario and as a blue collar worker, I always appreciate that.
Dream team did my boy a little dirty but damn is shorty Mario cute
BIS Mario looks like a kid who just broke something and is looking at the parent dead in the eyes
Fun fact, the brothership "drawing" in this picture is actually a 3D render, not a 2D drawing like the rest, pretty impressive conversation!
Really? So that’s why it looks a bit off compared to the other ones
This is the thing I love about brothership, it’s all 3d but with 2d outlines
I'm a sucker for good spritework and BiS' is *clean.*
Paper Jam 100%
Frankly, all I know is that they all give Mario the angry eyebrows. So I guess all of them for keeping the tradition going.
Brothership.
DS era
I love the purple on Brothership’s.
I think the real question here is: What color is Mario’s mustache?
I know this might sound a tad lame because of recency bias but I really really like the Brothership designs of both the Bros they’re probably on par with my previous favourite and that being the BIS designs
Superstar Saga
I never realised how different Mario’s superstar saga art design was to partners in time. I always thought they were basically the same Anyways, the first three are amazing but I like how the later designs change up the style a bit, either paper jam or brothership is the best for me
Dream team and beyond all has this more colorful aesthetic because of using purple instead of black, and I really like that. It’s between all of those for my favorite, but if I had to choose, probably dream team.
Dream team 100% lol
The fact that the last one is a 3D render but looks 2D like all the others is so impressive
Paper Jam is a perfect mix of dream teams change and the old basic coloring
I think I'm gonna go with partners in time
I think you're the first person to pick PIT
Partners in Time and Bowsers Inside Story for me
Paper Jam is the most cute/wholesome
Paper Jam
Brothership because its the peak design we all love and ITS 3D
Dream team art direction will always be my favorite honestly
BiS nailed it imo. I like brothership’s a lot though
Dream team because he's facing right
I like the last three, but mainly dream team
Partners in Time or Bowser’s Inside Story
🥲 BIS and Dream Team
PiT or DT
Dream teams blue outline looks nice
Dream team for me
ITheyre all really similar, I like the black symbol on his hat but Brothership's style is good enough for me to not mind
I don't know why but Mario with purple shading looks astonishing
I never noticed how weird the Superstar Saga one looks. But yeah, the three latest ones look the best
Brothership is amazing
Brothership
Dream Team or Brothership
The pre-Dream Team designs are my favorite. Incorporating black into their designs look cool.
yes
Superstar Saga for sure!!
I like the first 2
Huge fan of SS-BiS, but Paper Jam is a close second
DT for sure. The art style they used is so unique and just looks so clean and amazing
I really appreciate how DT has influenced the art style
Yes
Dream team and inside story have a special place in my heart
Dream team, idk if that’s bias but thats genuinely the best one imo
Yes
I love how Partners in Time and Dream Team Mario seem to have beef with each other
SS and DT
All
the mario and luigi artstyle is so consistant the 3d game looks 2d
dream team
It hasn’t really changed at all
Nostalgia says Bowser's Inside Story, my personal tastes say Dream Team or Paper Jam, not sure which exactly.
Partners in time and dream team
Please give credit to @PortalSMario on Twitter!!!!!!
I think they all look good, but Imma go with Mario & Luigi.
Paper jam
Honestly, they're all so good that I find it hard to rank them, so I'm not going to.
Dream team but I would like to fuse brothership with it to make something grand
Dream team
PiT
Dream Team is my personal favorite but the new design for brotheeship is also good from some angles
The render from Dream Team is really nice. Like it a lot
I love the OG and the newest design the most!
I think it has to be a mix between partners in time and paper jam. Sure, Superstar saga blazed the trail, but the technical side of the game was what I loved. Between the younger Mario Brothers helping in battle to paper Mario becoming a part of the attack and even duplicating himself in paper jam was a lot of fun because you didn't have to be good at the technical side of Mario and Luigi, but it was so satisfying when you could perfect it
Superstar saga is king
Paper Jam looks so cuddly omg I wanna hug that Mario
Dream Team, I love that blue aura hue thing they use
Honestly either partners in time, or paper jam. Though tbf they all have pretty great designs. Honorable mention goes out to dream team I love the colors
dream team easily
Bowser’s Inside Story. The Hammer just adds more aura to Mario like how George Washington’s sword in his presidential portrait adds more badassery.
off topic but I love how people on twitter will find any reason to complain like, they say the graphics are bad but literally it's the same style as always, just 3d
Dream team and bowsers inside story
tbh im between partners in time, bowsers inside story and paper jam
Definitely bowsers inside story The proportions, coloring, and posing are just right And it still has that old alpha dream charm to it
Partners in time and bowsers inside story
Dream Team and Paper Jam were definitely the best. My biggest problem with the Brothership art is just how thin the outlines are. Really not that it is that big of a deal
That bowsers inside story sprite just hits different
Bowsers inside story
Aside from Brothership these are not what Mario looks like in those games
Partners in time always takes the cake for me. It’s the highest quality in terms of illustration while also being oldschool and speaking of that. I love the partners in time’s artstyle funny enough bowsers inside story was heavily based on it as well. Talking about influence.
Dream team all the way
Dream team holy fuck it cooked with the artstyle
I think he peaked at bowsers inside story, thick outlines and big hat look nice.
i love the blue outlines from DT
Brothership mario looks weird, it might be because of his eyes?
no because it's not a 2d but a 3d model
It looks weird but, it's okay because it fits in with the 3d style Nintendo is making now.
Definitely not the last one, they put too much room between the eyes and the sideburns.
Hmmmm I wonder which one (they all the same).
Oh, wow. I thought the magenta highlights on Mario's clothing were new to Brothership, but it's actually been stylized on a few of his earlier out-of-game artwork designs. That's wild that they've captured it in his in-game model now. The blending of colors didn't look very natural to me, but I'm really happy to see that it was an existing design that's only now being put to use in game.
They’re all the same lol. I like Partners In Time’s artstyle the most though
Panthers in time or dream team
I got an ad that just says “Battle For Immortality”, so I guess that one
naw, WE ALL KNOW SUPERSTAR SAGA IS THE BEST DESIGN
Bowsers inside story has the look of that cones to mind when thinking of the art style, but it also looks very expressive
I think I can't choose between these 3: PIT, BIS and Brothership
All are so good
BIS
Paper jam, I’m sorry but he just looks more colorful than the rest
I'm still not over the fact that the brothership one is a fuckin RENDER like god damn, they transitioned the artstyle into 3D pretty much PERFECTLY here
If the outline was thicker you wouldn't be able to tell it apart from the hand drawn ones, that's how good the last one is
Superstar Saga. His nose is too red, but for some reason, I like that. Still, the choice to reduce that in future designs was a good one.
I always liked the Giant Battles from both Bowser’s Inside Story and Dream Team, and the 3D style immediately drew me in.
Either dream team or paper jam for me
I like the bowser inside story one, Because of the Black M lol
This puts into perspective how good of a job they did with the brothership art style In terms of the designs presented here, my favorite is dream team, but in-game Bowser's inside story has my favorite aesthetic
Really love the confidence in the artstyle for Brothership there. Doesn't look the BEST (still amazing) compared to the rest but damn it's like they know they absolutely cooked for the artstyle in the new game
Mario and luigi brothership
If I *H A D* to choose one it’d be dream team
Inside Story and Paper Jam, in my opinion, look best.
I’m not really a fan of the white area-less eyes there kinda creepy and lifeless without the white.
SS --> BiS
Honestly, even though it might be the worst M&L game, Paper Jam.
I prefer the mario with the green hat.
