Just another noob trying out pixel art stuffs...
Because I have absolutely no abilities in shading, I thought I'd have a go at some animation.     My idea is a Mario world that combines elements from the NES and SNES (and others).  Just an animation of him going through it, nothing much.
Here's a walking animation...ugh, much too stiff.  Plus both legs look funky.

Running (more like jogging)animation...his right arm is choppy...

Jump...

Lakitu?

Piranha Plant:

Sample environment (link works now )



I guess I shoulda done more work before posting.
