Simply put, what look of Mario characters do you like the most?
This might not be the most popular but I love the art style of Game and Wario, yeah, it's just Rhythm Heaven but Rhythm Heaven is super charming
 
I just love the 2D art done for Mario by Shigehisa Nakaue, I know it's not that different from the 'classic' 2D artwork from the 80s and 90s, but it's honestly so refreshing to see it because so many Mario things nowadays just use 3D renders of the characters for promotional stuff. Would love if Nintendo would make a new Mario sidescroller using Nakaue's art as the basis for the graphics.
 
yea just the 2d vector art i think its just really nice

im kind of lumping these together but The Gacha, that employee booklet thing and other miscellaneous artwork also has some really nice sketchy looking art
