Mm, that was quite a bit for me to process, but I think I worked something out. Still, even though I'll admit that judging how much exaggeration is needed isn't one of my strongest points, I feel like there's only so much I could do with these puppets. If you compare the sprites used in the second and third entires of the series to all the sprites in the Mairo & Luigi games, it's clear that they are not built for outlandish actions (i.e. comical jaw drops) nor good silhouettes. With that in mind, I'm looking forward to tackling actual animation in different series, while leaving the Paper Mario animations for only two different series. Despite this, I try my best to keep pushing this animation style to make it even better than the original games without losing the sort of cutout charm that gives it that distinct flavor.
