That screenshot at the lower right tho... I have a few questions for it.

Do people normally glow yellow during that process?

The Bowser sprites in this:

Seriously, was it that hard to give SMW Bowser some legs like here?:

As shown here, Nintendo's a little in denial over the fact that "off-model and ugly" is a key part of SMW sprites.

Well, SMM's Bowser is pretty ugly, so it's really only the off-model part that's off.

Actually SMM's Bowser in the SMW Bowser is better looking than his original SMW sprite.

Fite Me!

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

There are few in-house graphic styles that don't look better than SMW's graphics, IMO. They have the excuses that it was a very early foray into that amount of values-per-palette and that they were still limited by tiling, but still, really garish and odd-looking. Mario looks kinda sunburned.

thanks to Swiftie for the wonderful graphic imagery of Super Mario Party.

Swiftie? That a person or a software that lets you screw around with Switch stuff? I'm curious how this was done.
