Yoichi Kotabe is THE Nintendo art style.

That there still hasn't been a Mario game which looks like a moving Kotabe illustration shows just how badly Nintendo lost the plot in the 3D age.

I love this era of Mario key art. The Mario Land games are the same. Extremely nostalgic to me.

I love this! And second the idea of using it for a t-shirt design (hint hint Uniqlo).

This looks like inspiration for Mario Galaxy.

Does the game actually have Bullet Bills? I remember the Torpedo's but they are different. They do have the huge Banzai Bills as well.

You are right. In my mind I tried to link the Bullet Bills to the castles.
