i would say that art style is way too taxing to make a full game out of
first shrink the characters down. the long vertical lines don't do anything for readability or motion so they're super unnecessary in a video game
have you seen any hannah-barberra cartooons? something like yogi bear or whatever. in those shows they have dividers between the torso and all extremities. doing that makes it so you don't need to redraw the head when the body moves, or the arms, etc. that'll be really useful when you're animating the characters
also, this is maybe more of a personal nitpick than a legit criticism, but when you change something simple like eyes or hands, there should be a good reason. why does mario have whites in his eyes, but the toad girl doesn't? they also have drastically different hands, feet and noses. if that's all on purpose OK but it's something to keep in mind

2. How do you think, which height Koopas may be? To the Mario's shoulder or as high as him?
3. The same question goes about Goombas too. Here I'm clueless.
draw the koopas standing on their back legs and make them a bit shorter than mario
the goombas should be extremely short, the smaller the better
and finally:
despite all my criticisms i think that art looks good, especially the Toad girl. it's just not suitable for a game currently
