You can customize the look to be more like the original, if you so choose.
Odd imagery for them to choose for marketing.
As someone who's been a fan of the original since 1988, I like the widescreen Mario Maker look, although I've been considering toggling the drop shadows off.
The wide format is clever, but the heavy sprite modification and additions are garish - as are the drop shadows you mentioned.
Fair if you don't like it, but if you prefer the originals they're playable on pretty much anything. There would be little point in remaking the exact same games in Godot.
There's any number of tweaks, fixes, and extensions that can be made that don't look like a ten year old just found MS Paint
I take it that's what you think of Mario Maker? Because it looks like that.
