Mario Sprites are BACK!

[Guy]

Well,

I got Goomba!

Any good?

Oh, and here are the items again.

In case they ended up being left behind.

EDIT: Hello? Seriously is anybody there?

EDIT 2: HELLOOO? I'd like to work on stuff please! I need C+C!

Whew, been a moment, okay

Goomba is a tad hard to read, lookin' blob-esque.
This in turn is because of the lack of contrast, specifically the shades of brown.

While it seems you're eager to animate, don't until you've got a solid base to work from.

I'm thinking you could get away with using just one color for his torso part, where the feet and body connect.

As for your item sheet, the peach shade for the mushrooms is very bland and poorly contrasted as well, play around with the colours some more.
