What's your favourite sprite art from a video game?

It is not a sprite art per se, but sprite style, I love 32-bit pixel art specially when made in 3d consoles, like the following, I don't know, but low poly environment with pixel art characters and details gives a mystical tone to it.

2d models on a 3d backgrounds/ environments = win. Breath of Fire 3/4, Strider 2, Tomba, Persona 1 and 2 (both parts), Xenogears, Tales of Destiny directors cut, panzer bandit, mad stalker (PS1) there's loads. Quite a few strategy RPGs did it on PS1 too, and they all look great and stand the test of time because of the pixel art being solid.

It's not the most detailed, but Pokemon games from gens 2 and 3 had very cute and expressive pixelart for the Pokemon. It felt like I was collecting little art pieces and it was a huge motivator for ctaching them all, for being mostly static most had a flow of movement and personality that it's missing in the current 3D models, that and I like the retro look of the older games.
