The top of its head is flush to the ceiling, so I don't think so. I don't think it could even work with how these are built.
Wait doesn’t sluggy the unshaven have a row of black on of it’s head?
Taking a screenshot and then moving the horizontal single-pixel rows one by one over it. It takes time, but it gets you the full sprite, which is especially useful for large and/or transparent ones like this.
How did you do it?
I did it in Paint.net, which is free.
What if I don't have Photoshop?
Calculations and photoshop.
How do I create this guy's sprite?
GOOD GRIEF HE'S NAKED
AGAIN WITH THE TRIANGLES
Would be neat to see Retro Game Mechanics Explained cover the explanation.
they use parts of the triangle to make the body
Don't worry.
@SmithyGCN don't mention it...
I remember that the Super Mario Kun manga had a... erm, particular gag about this guy... on another note: this game has plenty of bosses that aren't much of a threat.
@Peardian That's pretty much it, yes. These triangles are on layer 2, and per scanline, the background is scrolled to choose the right width. AFAIK, none of this triangle stuff (which is used for many things, including several bosses and some 3D platforms) actually directly uses the Super FX 2 chip, just good ol' HDMA.
(Side note: The sheet says that it's mode 7, when in reality, the game barely ever uses mode 7, only for the title screen, and a few bosses like Bowser.)

Just realizing that Burt uses the same sprite for his feet and nose.
If I were to guess, it probably works like this: First, they define a shape using mathematical calculations, such as with vectors or something. Next, they look at the shape row by row and draws the the line whose Y position matches the width of the row in pixels.
I think they stretch and squish each individual row of pixels on the cone to create the shape
Nah, same type of polygonal sprite as Star Fox, pretty sure.
