Grass is good.

Sign is good.

Windows have way too much black outline that make it look burnt.

Not sure what the house is supposed to be. Is it a toadstool?

Looks a bit like it has a hairpiece or maybe a helmet

A mushroom, probably should have mentioned that d:
I know the insides of the roof should be darker but I don't know how to make it look mushroomy.

This is very nice, though to make it look more like a mushroom, you should shade the bottom side of the cap as a flat red, so that volume is conveyed much better, then draw some curved black lines (not too many or it'll look cuttered) that follow the shape of the cap, because mushrooms tend to have little flaps under the cap.

Bowser should be more hunched over and look a bit angrier.

Those are pretty awesome (Especially Luigi :-*). One problem: The grass couldn't be layered over the house like that, since then you've got two palettes in one background tile.

Mario looks a bit stiff compared with Luigi, because his shoulders are very high.
I think you could easily do his neck and shoulders the same way as on Luigi?

I like the house a lot. I'd use some of the reddish color to add spots to the roof of the house ;).

I really like the characters. Bowser looks awesome to me.
