also, great job. I'll use them later.
It's custom styled, I use my own colours and shading.

I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering. Also the thwomps look like they have buck teeth since there is no space in between the thwomp's teeth. Aside from that, it looks very well done.
Mario Mart 8's Thwomp Ruins actually feature surprisingly few Thwomp Statues. In neither of my reference images there was a thwomp statue which could have reasonably been implimented without taking up the entire screen.
I thought about adding the gate in the background. Once from the side, once from the front, but it'd either not be recogniseable or unfitting in a 2D environment. You mentioned you wanted to add to this. Feel free to then also add some thwomp statues. I'm sure they'll do nicely!
If you look back at my reference image, it shows the one frame I took my entire thwomp design from. If you take the dark colour connecting the teeth in my graphic away, you'd see that it also looks rather silly and would need precise adjusting.
Thanks for all the feedback guys!
