If I had made SMB3/SMW

THIS is how I would've made Mario.
I'm going to make a BG and tileset all to mockup SMB3 and SMW, too.
(BTW simple animations are fun) Looks best on lighter background too.

That's amazing :O You are one of the best spriters on this site, bud (Josiah is the best IMO).

eh not bad, the animations a lil choppy on the walking and a bit bland on the running but this would definetly look pretty awesome in SMW.

The "running with arms up" pose bugs me, but that puts Nintendo's to shame.

dunno... looks more like SMRPG... looks good though.

The one thing I don't like is that the feet are always at either 90, 180, 270, or 360

The Walking animation is horribly messed up.
His arms are not supposed to be synced with the legs. When the left legt moves forward, the left arm doesn't follow, but moves backward.

The Running animation is not that bad.
However what bugs me is the arms, they just look like they're at the wrong angle, and are way to stale. Make them move down a pixle when he moves up, and change the angle they're at.

The idle animation is good, but his leg shouldn't move forward at all. This is something that grinds my gears with pretty much every idle stance I see these days. YOUR FOOT DOESN'T SLIDE WHEN YOU STAND IN ONE PLACE.

EDIT: Oh, and what Phage said.

Fix these things, and it'll be much better.

I fixed the leg problem, but I dont understand what you mean Phage.

on the frame where his right arm is directly behind him, move it 1 or 2 pixels down

I love these, they look awesome =D!

He means that the feet are only rotated along the 90, 180, 270, and 360 degrees. I noticed this too, and it make the running animation look horrible.

Well I fixed the running a bit, helped the legs look a bit better,and made the hat bounce for a funny effect! But seriously, it's simple animations, why so hard on em? It is for a game like SMB3 or SMW. Thanks anyways.

These really do put nintendo to shame.

Those are amazing, MR21.
