That design for the Dark Queen. Goodness. That falls into the category of worst redesigns for a character. It looks like the Dark Queen's cereal commercial villain daughter. I cannot stand the art style in general. I actually inherited the original cart for the NES/SNES games from my aunt when she got rid of her old consoles like two years ago, so my experience with the series is actually relatively recent. I still don't think this is a good direction. But, that's just me.
