You could say Partners in Times is the same, though I would argue it's more of a transitional moment. Regular characters do look more "normal", but they're still a little off from how they look in most Mario games nowadays.

A regular Toad. It's just a Toad.

Would you believe there's more than one angry fat yellow Toad?

Toads look more or less how they usually do now, but there's still plenty of unique Toads throughout. This is something even Dream Team doesn't do, as it mainly settled for the standard base of Toads and that has remained true for future installments.

We see Goombas, Shy Guys, Paratroopas, and Dry Koopas pushing the statue against Bowser. Note that their appearances look closer to how they do in 3D appearances, something that even Partners in Time doesn't commit to.

Nonetheless, characters like the Elite Trio have distinctive designs that modify existing enemy bases.

For Mario RPGs, Bowser's Inside Story represents a middle-ground for character design - regular enemies better resemble their 3D depictions in mainline Mario games and other spin-offs. But they still allow for modified designs for distinct characters. In a way, it's like a best of both worlds.

Cranky Kong using an old-timey "candlestick" phone, talking to King K. Rool on a high-tech (at the time) 1995 cell phone. They are both laughing as they discuss flying pigs and that terrible direction-changing platform.

Two fluffy characters.
One is dressed in a shirt and skirt (creature of joy and whimsy), and the other wears a hat, hoodie, and shorts (creature of seriousness).

Ok. I've tried balancing things out a bit. She is slower now, but I believe this works and feels better to play without changing the core idea too drastically!

I think the unfortunate truth of Alphadream's bankruptcy is that even if Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story on 3DS sold well enough, I don't think that would save the company. I could be wrong, but isn't it weird that the survival of the company is dependent on remakes?

A three-panel comic.
Lead (everyone's favorite eyeless rabbit creature) sits at a kiosk that reads "Ladders: Free Samples."
Off-screen, someone asks, "Mind lending me one?"
Lead happily responds, "Help yourself!"
The off-screen voice is revealed to be Flick, stuck in a tree, who seems to be upset by her response.

A scene taking place in the early morning, with a brick-built structure covered in foilage. Nish is happy to see their bird friend, Gaust, flying over.

Nish and Diurn are carrying away Alga out of these trippy woods. Nish is telling the both of them to hush, just in case someone or something is watching them.

The previous style of how the hair is drawn. Note the the part where the hair and eyes connect, and the way the hair spikes poke out.

The new style of how the hair is drawn. The bottom of the hair is now rounded for cleaner shaping around the eyes.

Look how awesome the new hair shape is. It's like math, but without numbers

I love finding ways to streamline a character design and still have it look good. I feel very smart as a character designer

Absolutely loved The Mountain. After Cracker Island, I was worried Gorillaz were done with larger scope projects - but The Mountain is the most immersive, rich, and ambitious project they've done in a long time.
