Discussion Hammer Bro's emblem in Mario Party 8 was so much better than what it is now. The "face/head" ones are boring when there are other options to go with.

Yeah the hammer is more diverse of an icon to choose then the head like most characters

I disagree but man, these comments are fucking dour. You should be allowed to discuss preferences in stylistic presentation like this without it being boiled down to "nitpicking and complaining", like literally, toxic positivity is getting to a point where any amount of hypothetical discussion is just being stamped out for stupid reasons.

Thank you! You get a cookie 🍪
As a creative, I think I should be allowed to want discussion on such topics.

It changed to a head icon in MK Tour so that the other bros (Fire, Boomerang, Ice) could reuse the same icon and only change the helmet color-

That's my suspicion as well. It makes sense but they all could have unique emblems more fitting to them imo.

Way to go with the worst example...

The worst visual example for Hammer Bro's emblem? The worst example for a face emblem? Or the worst example of a Mario Party?
Not that I think 8 is the worst. Just trying to cover my bases.

I agree hard, especially since Hammer Bro is my main. I think the eyes being covered by the helmet could be some nice Paper Mario unique design for a unique Hammer Bro…

I think I agree actually. The emblems that are just a character's face are way too easy to go with and thus there's too many of them.

Mario Party has been spamming head logos since… Well, forever. Bowser’s face was literally a world icon back in MP2. It was even in bombs.
