As Mario and co escape Bowser's Castle with Peach safe aboard, two unwanted guests hijack the airship- Boom Boom and Pom Pom!
This image had been shown earlier on reddit, without revealing what it was actually for. Due to negative feedback on Boom Boom and Pom Pom's models, they will get overhauled models for the final topic.
Also, as the decision to remove the eighth-gen games' influence and heavily de-emphasize Paper came long after I originally posted this, some other visuals may change in the final topic.

If that's the intention, then I can see the point.
When the image is redone for the full topic with visuals more akin to the first three games, though, I could brighten the characters up to have them stand out more from the environment.
