I think after seeing the teaser poster people expected Mario to look *exactly* like he does in the game.

That was never in the cards, because otherwise it would just be an-hour-and-thirty-minute long cutscene. Should also be noted that Nintendo almost certainly oversaw and approved the design (and much more stringent than Sega was with Paramount regarding Sonic's design), and judging by the lack of C&D requests on social media they and Universal seem to be happy with the response currently.
