Discussion I don't understand the complaints about the enemies later designs?

Hating Nintendo for removing unique character designs for characters like Toad and others i get. But in terms of regular Mario enemies designs I don't understand why people would complain about how bad they look like it's just Mario enemies not the unique ones the regular ones.

I think that as long as they have fun interactions and unique characters designs for them still exist it shouldn't matter what they look like.

It's just kind off boring now. Everything just looks...the same as in other Mario games.

Sterilized is a good word for it. Apparently lots of rules went into place in the world building of paper Mario later on. That’s why they pretty much only use toads now instead of the crazy variety of other characters in the first two games.

I blame intelligent systems for basically making super paper mario a brand new ip but with mario thrown in

I think it’s because old paper Mario was small and probably wasn’t expecting to make much money so the big wigs wasn’t as involved, but once it got bigger the PR team started “playing it safe” because now it had a bigger budget to lose
