I can understand wanting to avoid looking like the actual original sprites, but think about this from perspectives.
By keeping your sprites as is and not modifying Mario's eyes, Mario looks like he has a wide head. But then again, you may like to have a cartoony thing going with Mario's look. I guess it's your call on whether to bother fixing Mario's eyes or not.
