I'm begging artists at large, please for the love of god, for all of us, develop confidence in yourself and self respect. The amounts of artists I see that just dog on themselves, or who let themselves be walked all over is truly disheartening. PLEASE, believe in yourself, ffs.

Between Super Mario World and Super Mario Advance 2, the number of Bowser's fingers was adjusted, but not in all of his sprites. While this may look like an inconsistency, this may also be explained by Bowser relaxing a nervous grip between the games.

In Super Mario World, Bowser and the Koopalings have 3 digits on each hand. This was changed in Super Mario Advance 2 to reflect their current 4-digit design. However, the sprite of Bowser holding on to the edge of the Koopa Clown Car still has the same number of fingers. While this may look like an inconsistency, it could also be explained by Bowser simply relaxing his grip.
Super Mario World
Three fingers total
Three-finger grip
Human hand equivalent: nervous grip (all digits visible)
Super Mario Advance 2
Four fingers total
Still a three-finger grip
Human hand equivalent: relaxed grip (thumb on other side)
