his face looks just so slightly off to me it feels like when you very slightly distort a face in G-mod

Since the tweet went out, I've kind of got okay with the design. A bit different but an expected CG Mario with realistic mustache hair. Makes me want to see how they make DK, Peach, Cranky or Bowser look. Similar but not quite the same

He looks really weird but Mario has looked the same for so long it's probably just a matter of getting used to a slightly different design.

They definitely shifted Mario's body proportions around to make him look a little more normal. His hands and feet are much smaller but he's still a short guy. This will probably make him look less weird standing next to Peach.

Seems fairly faithful to the game model. The collared shirt is an interesting tweak; it does kinda make his outfit look more like a work uniform.

Love how people are overreacting that he does not look right.
He looks like freakin' Mario. It's a good design considering that Mario's design itself is pretty "bland" (for a lack of better wording).
It looks right given the source material.

But yeah, his face looks a bit like Pratt which I find funny tbh.

I posted in the other thread, but I'm pretty sure this is legit. The gloves match, and that one user said you can see their necks, which would line up with their collars. It looked off to me at first, but you quickly get used to it. And I'm pretty sure it'll look good in motion.

This Mario has to speak and emote much more than the one in the game, so it's to be expected that the face might look somewhat "different".

What I find much more disturbing is the extreme "denimness" of the overall 😂

What's funny is how much it is sort like Mario from Super Smash Bros Brawl with the realistic clothing. All that is different is the face.

Christ almighty! Delay; redesign.

Face is too wide. And the moustache... hair fibers, lol. That shit's creepy. I can't handle it.

Yeah, it's a bit off, but it could have been much worse. I'll reserve full judgement until I watch the trailer.
