Also, even though you may think you know Mario, if you create from memory it can loose some of the key details in a character. Reference images are key! Trust me on this one, I'm not a pro in any way and I am learning just like you, haha! They really do help!
One of the things that first caught my attention was Mario's nose. Close, but it isn't right. You have it going from the forehead straight into the nose as if it is one large chunk. Mario has more of a round nose. I will use Gors wonderful edit to help my point and define the nose. (Hope that's ok...)
You see I used a Mario reference image to help me see what his nose would look from the side and edited it to give it that rounded nose look.
I hope that helps!
