Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s check out the box art designs themselves.
Europe
We’ll admit, the European cover has a lot going on, but we’d be lying if we said that we didn’t like it. The central bros. look sufficiently stressed out, and the hoards of enemies and allies that surround them give a taste of just how many different challenges there are going to be ahead. We’re particularly fond of Cackletta’s placement directly above our titular heroes — talk about imposing.
North America / Japan
By comparison, the North American and Japanese designs opt for a much more stripped-back approach. Far fewer characters are packed in around the edge of the frame and the gloomy background of the EU cover is replaced by a pure white. That’s not to mention Mario and Luigi themselves, who have changed from the ready-for-action pose to something much more docile — they’re just happy to be there. This lighter design is presenting a very different game indeed.
Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of the Box Art Brawl.
