Sep 26, 2022 12:05 PM Yawackhary Asset: Ray the Flying Squirrel @RonaTheRTD Yeah, it's palette limitations. While there are 512 colors to choose from, for a sprite you can only have 16 colors (well 15 + one for transparency that the developers usually choose black to the annoyance of sprite rippers). Since there is a maximum of 61 colors (64 - transparency) with 4 palette slots, in theory you could have the same sprites with a different palette like beat em ups e.g. Streets of Rage series. It isn't used much because it would mean less options for the background, the best example that I can give is the port of Captain America & the Avengers and notice how limited the background is in terms of color (I think the background is only like 16 colors but not sure, it's very starved anyway). I don't think the trick where some tiles of a sprite use one palette and other tiles use another work like the NES. The bosses being split between sprites and background tiles trick for a larger palette should work though.

On the other hand Sonic 1's palette is very limited because Sonic's palette is also used for the badniks meaning that hacks either have to be creative, change a color but also affects an enemy or reprogram the palette to be like Sonic 2 onwards. The palette restrictions is also why Knuckles' socks can be a different color in Sonic 3&K (think it is yellow during gameplay but green during cutscenes, said green also makes the HUD go green at one point in Angel Island).

There are tricks with the shadow & highlight and the DMA but they have more limited uses.

@TakeTwoAncy Mighty was in SegaSonic. Also Mania and SegaSonic have a LOT more colors to choose from (Mania being a modern game while SegaSonic was on the System 32 arcade board, a lot more advanced than the Genesis).

Kirby: "I'd worry more about cleaning up your Avalanche skills first!"
Sep 26, 2022 10:21 AM Magic Mike Matei Game: Super Mario World 64 (Bootleg) @Yawackhary good point about SMW64 using the GEMS sound engine.

Had they added the same amount of levels, hidden levels and switch palace levels as SMW (but with modifications), then there's a lot of songs from the GEMS sound driver-based games SMW64 could've also taken from: in addition to TaleSpin, Super Battle Tank, Ariel and Jeopardy, there's AAAHH! Real Monsters, Aladdin, Barbie Super Model, Batman:Revenge of the Joker, Batman Returns, Caesars Palace, Clue, Cool Spot, Dragon:The Bruce Lee Story, Duke Nukem 3D, Earthworm Jim 1 & 2, Greendog, Home Alone, Jungle Book, Jurassic Park, Kid Chameleon, Krusty's Fun House, Marko's Magic Football, Mick & Mack Global Gladiators, Monopoly, Mortal Kombat 3, NBA Jam, NBA Jam TE, NBA Hangtime, Paperboy II, Pocahontas, Ren & Stimpy:Stimpy's Invention, Scooby Doo Mystery, Shaq Fu, Bart's Nightmare, Star Trek:The Next Generation, Sylvester & Tweety in Cagey Capers, Taz-Mania, Toy Story, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Vectorman 1 & 2, Virtual Bart and Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
Sep 26, 2022 10:02 AM Yoni Arousement Asset: Password Screen The 5th character in Stage 3's Password is actually Red Sword, but in this sheet it's listed as Red Sparkster.
Sep 26, 2022 9:32 AM Yoni Arousement Game: Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2 @Sonictheoofhog4 You might be thinking of the SNES Sparkster game, which had a bootleg that changed Sparkster's sprites to Sonic.
Sep 26, 2022 8:18 AM E253MechaShadow Asset: Collection Panels Hey, VSauce! Michael here.
Sep 26, 2022 8:06 AM Yawackhary Asset: Mario's Puzzle Party @SpyrotheDragon2021 It means that you don't have to give Mr. C credit or ask permission to use the sheet. You can use it for whatever you like.
Sep 26, 2022 6:39 AM RonaTheRTD Asset: Ray the Flying Squirrel @TakeTwoAncy if I had to guess, it could likely be because of palette limitations with the Genesis.

I don't exactly know how the palette limits work on the Genesis, but if I were to guess a reason for the limited colors, it'd probably be that.

I could also be completely wrong, but I'm just speculating here.
Sep 26, 2022 5:46 AM SpyrotheDragon2021 Game: Krtek Customs I remember watching this mole when I was extremely young
Sep 26, 2022 5:31 AM SpyrotheDragon2021 Asset: Mario's Puzzle Party What does Mr. C exactly means by "No credit" and "No permission" ?

Doesn't he want anyone using his sheets in a fangame or something?

Sep 26, 2022 1:07 AM Rabbid4240 Asset: Mega Man someone should rename that to just "Mega Man"
Sep 26, 2022 12:52 AM Dougredfield87 Game: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge can you update Mall Meltdown if possible? from what it looks like the arcade machine sprites are missing from the arcade entrance.
Sep 26, 2022 12:37 AM Lunar994 Asset: Items I legitimately forgot about that, and I was the one who added that info to the wiki in the first place. I should make an update to this.
Sep 26, 2022 12:36 AM Super Piter Asset: Encounter Swirls Huh, really? Well damn. Guess i better go check which ones i managed to miss.

Sep 25, 2022 10:48 PM MrSonicSpriter Asset: Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic 2 SMS-Style, Expanded) JoeyTheRabbit well, has the sonic corkscrew animation and the sonic advance 2 pose,
Sep 25, 2022 10:39 PM TakeTwoAncy Asset: Ray the Flying Squirrel oh, yeah, that's weird the skin tone doesn't match the tone in mania and segasonic the hedgehog!

Sep 25, 2022 10:27 PM Limbo_Kimbo Game: Deltarune Customs King, Lancer, and Queen should all be grouped into their own section. The little spade family
Sep 25, 2022 10:01 PM UnknownUney Asset: Sonic (Sonic 1-Style, Redone) Sure! just show me the project!
Sep 25, 2022 9:38 PM LeoLuster214 Asset: Dishes (Ruined) burnt apple pie% is still the best speedrun category

Sep 25, 2022 9:12 PM MegaDrive2000 Game: Somari Customs I can't believe this has a customs page, thats actually kind of funny.
Sep 25, 2022 9:08 PM MegaDrive2000 Game: Among Us Customs @BoyfriendGlitchy472
Says the guy who has a BF recolor as their profile icon. Plus its not really that unoriginal if all of the pixel art are done in different and unique styles, most custom sprites on this site are pixel art based anyway.
Sep 25, 2022 7:28 PM Dolphman Asset: Bubsy Gah! He looks so off when he says "hello" to the player.
Sep 25, 2022 7:19 PM Solgaleo35 Asset: Oil-Painted Stars and Moon It’s funny that people always talk about how cool the Painted Swamp levels in NSMBU are since this game has a very similar aesthetic to it. Honestly, I’d love to see another game with this artstyle. So many awesome visuals, not to mention gameplay.
Sep 25, 2022 7:15 PM Solgaleo35 Asset: Stage 4-8 (Boss Arena Clouds) Hard to believe this is a Mode 7 background, meaning that this is all sprites, like the boss backgrounds in SMW. This is honestly amazing, with the mode switching so smoothly on the fly as you walk through the fog, transitioning to this, appearing to be the hills seen earlier shrouded in mist. This game is honestly amazing.
Sep 25, 2022 6:42 PM MegaDrive2000 Asset: Bubsy What could paw-ssibly go wrong?
Sep 25, 2022 6:16 PM TimoWorld Asset: Berdly rip bozo
