SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland is actually a subversion, as it's not meant to be a sequel in the original Japanese to begin with (as evident with the fact that it's called "Super Mario: Yossy Island" in Japan, with "Yossy" [[SpellMyNameWithAnS being an alternate spelling of Yoshi within that country]].)

* The VideoGame/{{Kirby}} games invoked this trope a couple of times over the course of its run: First, between ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' and ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamland3'', the artstyle changed from one that resembled more or less an updated version of the older games' artstyle to a crayon-like look. Then came ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'', where [[VideoGame3DLeap game's now in full 3D]][[note]] Although [[TwoAndAHalfD it's still a side scroller]].[[/note]] Then came the remake of ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure'', where the artstyle's is yet again, changed, not only [[ArtEvolution giving Kirby his modern design outside of both his 3D portrayals and his portrayal in the Anime]], but also giving the game a modernized artstyle that involves, amongst other things, smoother animations and bigger minibosses. This then became averted with ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror'', which uses the same artstyle as with the Kirby's Adventure remake. Then came ''VideoGame/KirbyCanvasCurse'', which went with a paint-like artstyle [[JustifiedTrope due to the fact that a paint sorcerer being is trying to turn Dreamland into a world of paint]]. The next game in the series, ''VideoGame/KirbySqueakSquad'', then reverted back to the artstyle of the Gameboy Advance games. After that, the remake of ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' came, which changed to an artstyle that can be described as a combination of both the artstyle of the Gameboy Advance games and that of the original ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar''. Then[[note]]Not counting two spinoffs that came after the ''Kirby: Superstar'' remake[[/note]] came ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamland'', which has a ''different'' 3D artstyle to that of ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''[[note]]Although [[TwoAndAHalfD it still plays like a sidescroller]].[[/note]]. Averted in ''[[CompilationRerelease Kirby's Dream Collection]]'''s challenge stages and in VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe, which uses the same 3D artstyle as ''Kirby's Return to Dreamland''.

(Yeah, I know this is verbose, but this'll have to do unless you can figure out how to make it smaller without turning it into a ZeroContextExample.
