Hi everyone! Welcome to 2025! Let's all take a deep breath and get into the sprites.

First up, our old friend O Ilusionista is back with some Captain Commando rips, Keenfan1990 submitted some stuff from a game that is definitely not Rush'n Attack, and a game that definitely is, User_No_Found is Funkin' outside of the designated Friday Night, but we'll allow it anyway. SubmitterGirl did a bunch of Dragon Quest, 04sama did an incredible amount of Metal Max in both the rips and Customs sections this week, Ragey has a bunch of equally fearsome opponents from both Fighting Street and Snoopy Tennis, Feever1999 has done a really great job with one of my faves, Wario Land for the original Game Boy, Gharug is back with increasingly-scandalous monsters of every kind, Perdition's Gate Enjoyer is here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, HylianFox has some sprites to show us that the Power is Yours, Nathbusia is Movin' It. blueberrymuffin keeps finding more Dash games to rip, Kramlack submitted more of the ugliest enemies I've ever seen in a game, Yawackhary picked up a few shiny new vehicles, Magma MK-II has been Kicking Back all week, and true has a bunch of Trials of Mana to share. And that's not everyone! Thanks submitters!

For Customs, hansungkee has some really impressive Castlevania and Touhou sprites, Dinoshi 64 made a great Jevil, Dolphman has been hard at work on several sheets, DStar99 has blocks, blocks, and more blocks, P-Tux7 made a cute lil robot buddy, No handed Man somehow overcame that and made a rare Plok custom sheet, Greenknight9000 is having a really great run of silly Sonic item monitors, johnnie eletronic spearheaded one of the best custom Spongebob sheets I've ever seen, as well as some Monica's Gang (which I've never heard of, but that's ok). Great work to everyone and we'll see you next time!
