I really had thought more people noticed this, but apparently not...

Fortunately, I took pics and posted them to Twitter to highlight a few areas showing it off!

I didn't think they'd get more out of that SM3DW engine, but they did, and I'm glad to see Nintendo's HD development skills are progressing nicely!

Are you sure its not just inentionally different light? I mean Mario has  top down light/shadows for precise platforming. Captain toad does not need that so they can change the light sources/direction etc.

What fatslob said, plus there's added bloom where the sun hits the clouds, and what looks like an additional specular layer on the pipes.
