I bet you some intern or the redesigner thought to themselves "hurr it doesn't make sense for them to have a monoeye" or some dumb shit like that, same reason why Sonic in the movie has his eyes separated. The need to 'fix' shit that doesn't need to be fixed runs deep in artists and illustrators. They can't help themselves. Someone also said that the Illumination president is on the NoA board of directors, wouldn't surprise me if he was trying to get his influence on the designs too. He won't stop at Mario and Donkey Kong.
