I actually know how to remedy this with any transparent or semi-transparent image on an opaque background. In GIMP, at least. You can select the shadows using Color Selection, then go to Colors -> Color to Alpha. Then just select the background color (in this case teal, i.e. 99d9ea) and it'll remove the teal from the shadow, giving you the semi-transparent black shadow.
That's what I used to get the blurry white outline of "©2011 LEVEL-5 Inc." on this sheet, since it was on the same layer as its black background, and as far as I can tell it works perfectly. Not sure how to do it in Photoshop or Paint.NET, but it should be similar.
By the way, should I do the Mario sheets in the same style as Ridge's Bowser one? And if so, should I include his rare idle animation (the bit where he lifts his leg, happens every 3 loops or so) on the same line and say when it happens or on its own line?
