    Out of curiousity, I wanted to see if this community had a favorite art style for the classic games, and categorized their main aspects as such:
    BODY
    1. Small: Larger heads, hands and feet. (SBK1, SBK2)
    2. Large: More realistic proportions. (SBK+)

    EYES
    1. Simple: Uniformly black-colored. (SBK1, SBK+)
    2. Detailed: Distinguishable irises and pupils. (SBK2)
    I'm personally fond of the Small/Detailed combination; the "chibi" bodies better convey the fact that the characters are supposed to be 10-year-old children (exaggerated figures notwithstanding) and colored irises add to their individuality.

    What say you?

      I'd say the Small/Detailed combination, since I liked SBK2 the most. For some reason, I have some trouble drawing them with a small body, so I just draw them with realistic proportions. :wendysweatdrop:

        Small and simple, old-school style is what I'll go for.
        Though all of them are still okay, and I'm glad you didn't even mention SBK DS style there.

          I too voted for small body and detailed eyes but, in my opinion atleast, it was the overexaggerated features that really made Snowboard Kids' characters memorable and fun visually.
