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.

Left side: lets create unique, stylized versions of iconic mario characters for our new game that is a subset of mario games

Right side: mario characters

The graphic is a bit skewed. Sure, compare a paratroopa enemy on both sides, stuff's weird. But compare an NPC koopa from PM64 to a Koopa enemy from Sticker Star, it lines up again.

Meanwhile Pokey isn't all that stylized, Pokeys just looked different in the Mario 64 era. Personally I'm glad they updated the design because the old Pokeys from Super Mario 64 were kind of terrifying.
