Comparing Mario to Bowser gives you reference points relative size differences in the three games. Comparing Bowser to the Koopalings in M&LS is another reference, one more with comparing Mario to the Koopalings in M&LS. Taking also SMB3, NSMBW, SPP, etc... into consideration, you end up getting more solid and solid in terms of size differences, so your sprites would be more accurate. (However, if you choose to remake the characters themselves -- i.e., make Iggy lanky --, then of course you can throw "accuracy" out the window, because it's a new character and a new style.)
