There is a certain quality to snes era games where instead of shading sprites as a whole entity, they shaded each individual part. The result is kind of like a bas relief sculpture, and isn't realistic... but it also makes them feel more authentic and console-y.pic.twitter.com/KWYXQoBbrS

It also creates a special sprite separation that makes things pop really well!

That's an interesting point. If the lighting clashes, that object will stand out.

Also it just looks awesome, so good in fact that many modern games still try to emulate the style.

With them all looking like they're front-lit I'm wondering if that's influenced (consciously or not) by the way lighting was set up for TV shows.

Really good lateral thought there.

A lot like terraria! These things remind me of bosses like the moon lord.

There's always this little thing about the SNES and the wider colour spectrum that makes adding extra detail all that more amazing, because of the extra options.

I suspect they especially wanted to show off that the art was really 16 bit, after years of being limited to more flat shading. Even if an area (e.g. rear arm/leg) should be in shadow and not have detail, they would make it lit with lots of detail.
