Mario turns his body to the left as he takes a step, then turns his body back to the right with a reverse of the animation.
There are three frames, but the second is repeated at the end of the animation.
Yours is more like an ACTUAL detailed walking animation. If that was what you were going for, then that's good, if you're trying to match SMB3, then...
Well, have Zoroark turn his head left slightly on the second frame, with his feet spread apart, then on the third frame, spread his feet apart even more, turning his head left a bit more. The first and fourth frames have to be the idle pose, keep that in mind so that it'll flow nicely.
I made the walking animation that way to take advantage of a new feature that skins could use in the Mario Fan-game I was making it for...and I'm not that good at animating. But thanks for the tip anyway.
It looks like I'm going to have to do the front and back sprites next.
