There are a lot flaws with Mario's design. Try taking a careful look at Mario's fighting stance( I mean from the actual games, or even from your profile image ). Pay close attention to things like his body, arms, legs, etc.
As Virtuaboy said, I think it would help to take a look at the Super Mario Bros. 3 sprites. I'm not saying you should modify this Mario into a fighting position, I'm saying that it may help if you studied the sprites and used a similar style.
Just ignore what I said earlier about outlines, I didn't explain well at all, so sorry if I caused a bit of confusion. For outlines, it may help to look at the Mario Bros. 3 sprites to see how they did theirs.
For a NES styled sprite, you would normally use 3 colors(plus a transparent color), but I don't think that's a necessary restriction for a new spriter to follow. Just try not to use too many colors for now( if it's retro styled, I think 4-5 colors would be OK ).
