Wario was one of the first things that irked me when I first saw the boxart. Look at his eyes and teeth... they're so white! I'm by no means an expert artist, but all of the contrast in this image seems like a bit of a mess... For example, Red and Pikachu look so dull compared to Mario's vibrant colouring. I wouldn't be surprised if this was fanmade. That may be becuase there is one large light source coming from the background. You see this best on Pikachu, as he has a little light, and then nothing.

The light source is in a diagonal straight down the middle, with the focus on the "Nintendo 3" - Mario, Link and Pikachu (as it was on the cover of SSBM). The other characters are sort of sidelined.
I'd be surprised if this was the final boxart, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if this was official promotional art that hasn't yet been released.
And don't forget, even the bigger one is horribly low resolution, so pointing out dull and bright colours is pretty pointless. Hopefully a higher-res one will appear soon. As has already been said (pretty much), this is the time every year where boxart for Q4 releases starts to appear. At least for the US, anyway.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I have no connection to Nintendo Co. Ltd or any of it's subsidiaries. She was joking ;D Notice the smiley! I was joking too. Strong Denial like that is like saying "There is no mafia." HaHaHa

IGN have put up the boxart. Is there still doubt? Also, he's a nice high-res image.

It's on IGN?
Well, if it is real, then it's just temporary. No way they'll use this as the final.

Why wouldn't they use it as the final? Looks a hell of a lot better than the original SSB's box art...

I like it. Chances are that this is 90% of what the box will look like. It may get some touch uops here and there, but it will look like that. Will also get a rating and hopefully Wifi logo.

now that it's bigger, it really DOES look like hand-drawn art rather than renders. Now I'M suspicious

I don't trust IGN to begin with, so it's no mystery where I stand... If you want trustworthy gaming news, go to Joystiq. They don't dick you around.

The colours on IGN's boxart look a lot better. I kinda like it. (Though I do expect NoA to make some adjustments to Kirby)

Well, IGN's box art is higher quality, so they haven't taken it from eStarland... and eStarland was the place it originated from on the internet. So I'd say it's likely that both companies got it from Nintendo. As well as EB, apparently. WiFi logo, eh? Nice, but online play isn't selling this game to me, anyway. I'll use it online maybe once. I don't know anybody with an online Wii, and playing random people you don't know isn't much fun.

I'll play you! I'll kick your sorry arse!! I'm not getting it for the Wi-Fi, but I will use it, I'm sure.
