I mean the ones found in the SNES test program.

Any chance we could get this sheet trimmed down? If I did so with credits to Mister Man would it get accepted? This is just a little excessive with background colors, borders, and text.

I'm giving you credit.

@Austin Back in my day, it was this one, no contest. Only really forward-thinking fan-games like Super Mario Sunshine 64 (and its more famous remake) used Superstar Saga sprites. On rare occasions, you'd see SMAS SMB1 sprites instead.

@pinkusharkling
It was always either this or Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga's version of Mario

This version of Mario almost everybody has known about in sprite animations...

@inflames14 No because those beta sprites came from illegal hacking. Anything related to those leaks aren't allowed here. At one point, the Pokémon Spaceworld rips were on here then removed as it turned out that it came from those leaks.

It would have been different if it came from a prototype cartridge, those are allowed.

@inflames14: Absolutely not. Nothing from the leaked assets are allowed to be submitted here.

I doubt it, but would the beta sprites be allowed here?

the most used sprite in all of animation history

i mean, do they really need to credit? the sprites do belong to nintendo so i dont see any problem

@MarioMadness734 yes, but did nintendo credit Mister Man for ripping???????????????????

i found some of these but as gifs

@Med Animations: That's how is it in the game. You can see it here (note that Luigi being the player in the video doesn't make any difference): https://youtu.be/NGi4EKQ-2TU?t=240

Mario's hat is misaligned by a pixel with the rest of it in one of Castle #6 Cutscene sprites. Is this how it was in-game? Or just a mistake made by the ripper?

first small wall run looks an awful lot like diagonal mario

It could have been a Google search (or whatever search engine that Nintendo used) that one of the devs had done and it was the result. They might have not got it directly from tSR. The other alternatives would have been going through the archives and finding 1990 era tools of viewing the sprites or sprite ripped it themselves, both take far long than a 5 minute job especially when you need to do something quickly to meet deadlines.

Not the first time they had done this, one of the WarioWare games took a screenshot from VirtualNES and tried to cropping it for a Punch-Out minigame. Was Smash Bros. Ultimate they had to change a couple of assets since it was incorrect and matched a rip or something?

(Besides they do have the right to use their own sprites and Nintendo aren't the only company that has done this.)

i think its because nintendo was lazy or something, or nintendo just knows this website exists
