Quite a few things on Mario are iffy, actually...
Is that blue shade in the eye literally used for a single pixel in the entire piece? That's kind of pointless. In fact, looking more carefully...why are the other blues in the eyes unique, too? Just use shades from the overalls...
And, speaking of the eyes, they look kind of weird. I think they need to take up more of the eye, or something. The overall shaping of the face could stand to be more mario-like...the nose looks rather droopy and kind of misaligned. His chin tends to stick out and be more defined, instead of just being a straight line, his ears poke out differently, the brim goes around the hat differently, the mustache doesn't curve up right...

Besides that, the further arm looks a little off (have you tried flipping the image?), and the shading on the other arm is kind of rough.
Bowser suffers from similar problems. The shape of the body/shell is a bit of a mess. The head looks kind of...chunky? There are weird proportion/alignment problems that are keeping it from looking like official Bowser. They're hard for me to really describe specifically, though. Try sticking closer to references.
