Better.
Thank you. I would like to applaud you.
Though I really do not like the over-usage of mario, I do like the fact that you have attempted a new level of quality.
Honestly, I do not like this style of animation, but it is a million times better than the majority of other sprite animations.
You see, if you go and look at other sprite movies, you will notice that they almost all have one thing in common: Lacking quality.
While you did not do anything miraculus, you still kept a constant level of quality to your animation. I like this. (This is coming a little close to rotmk though...)
