I think I like my boxes better when I do most of the art. I made everything on the front except the obvious characters and logo, and on the back I made the tagline border based on the ones on the other TYD boxes, as well as the crumpled paper background.
I wanted to somehow have the fact that he's made of paper a part of this box without it being too much, because I also wanted the stage and whatnot.
So enjoy, comments/faves welcome as always, and critiques if you really feel the need to.
Also thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, this one's for you :D
It's a nice effort, but I'm sorry to say I don't really like it :(
Mario loses a lot of the focus on the front, the renders still appear to be floating, and while the stage is very nicely made, it jyst looks too fake to fit in.
The back is nice as well, but the tagline would look better if it were a bit larger, and the text (Times New?) sticks out too much for a Mario series game.
Once again, it's a nice box, but there are still many things to improve on.
#12 Yeah originally I was going to have five but then I wanted the Shadow Sirens there. I'll make them bigger soon; I can't just yet because I'm going to Disneyland for two days. So Friday, most likely.
1) How is it that they're floating? Mario is hitting the title with the hammer. When he uses the hammer his body goes up, like he's using all his strength. Goombella is jumping off the logo and the other characters all have shadows. Also if I used the render of Mario with the map I would run the risk of it looking like every other box.
2) The tagline would be overpowering if it was bigger.
3) I would never, EVER use Times New Roman on a Box. It's Myriad, which is a good font for Mario/cartoony boxes. MARKER is partial to that font as well.
So while I respect your opinion I have to say I disagree with some of the things you said.
Yay, this is awesome.

#7 Same.
I think you should use that render when he's looking at the map, and switch places between Mario and the fat lady.

I still don't think the stage fits. Other than that it's not bad.

This is one of my favorite games. You stayed true to the style. Nice job, crisp and sharp. Although the screenshots are too small.
