This may be difficult regarding how the game is programmed, but a different lighting mode with point lights or even just multiple lights to allow for mimicking point lights would do wonders for allowing players and enemies to fit in much better with stages that have custom baked lights, Whether it be vertex painted or actually baked lighting.
So far in some cases, Mario and the enemies would just look a bit tacked on in some cases due to the visual dissonance between the lighting of the characters and the stage itself. especially if the stage has more shifts in lighting in open areas.
Overall a bigger change, but one that would contribute a lot to making future custom stages look even better.
