There's the famous cases like Wind Waker to Twilight Princess (massive shift in art direction), FFVI to FVII (2D to primitive 3D), Dragon Quest VIII to IX (where the hardware became significantly weaker). But I think it's more interesting to review the cases where the hardware and art direction didn't change a lot.
In Mario Kart discussion it is widely agreed that Double Dash looks better than MK Wii, despite both of them being in similar hardware.
In this case, MK Wii looks kinda bad because of the unsaturated colors and stiffer animations. It tries to achieve the vinyl figure look that was also implemented in MK8, but the Wii hardware wasn't good enough to make it justice, as a result the characters look plastic-ish in a bad way. Some people also say that the MK Wii models look more jaggy, but I think this could be said about both games.
In what other cases does the sequel look worse?
