LOCK THIS THREAD

"We'll get there when we get there! Don't make me turn this thread around!"

no seriously I'm working on it...

Gorsal did you edit any poses or did you just add the yoshi riding ones? if so which ones did you edit, this will save me oodles of time

EDIT: ok after looking over the sprites, I can honestly say that I liked the old ones better, I think they fit better.
no offense gorsal.

that having been said I went ahead and recolored it for Fire Luigi

Well, I can't make everyone happy
I thought I'd just edit some sprites, but then I realized some sprites didn't recycle the pixel placements, a common thing in NES/SNES styled games. Also, Luigi's swimming poses were awkward because he looked very skinny. To top it all, some of the sprites were dirty/resized from Mario's, which took some of my time to make the bodies from scratch. There was even some Mario's overall color in some of Luigi's poses!

So, If someone's working on a character, PLEASE, DO NOT EDIT FROM MARIO/LUIGI'S BODIES. THEY'LL END UP POOR. SPRITE IT FROM SCRATCH INSTEAD.

That said, I'll remake some of the enemies. Continue the work here, guys, you're all awesome!

tell you what I'm gonna re do the racoon stuff next and treat Gorsal's as the version we're gonna go with, but there are a few poses I still liked better so I'll just include them too

I think the green on Fire Luigi is a bit too light.
Edit: Re quoted so its only the pic.

that's the same green 'twas previously used

EDIT: Gorsal, you gotta do a "Luigi gets hit on the head" pose too...then it should all be done

The Fire Luigi palette is to yellow, imo. Try adding more white. The shape of it is fine, though.

how about I just get my pallette from the game? because I didn't choose this pallette, it was the one that was done by Luigi's #1

no, I only did that to one pose and it was the duck pose.
so all in all it looks like I did a terrible job on it.

no you didn't dude...I personally loved your's...it really fits the style well

well, you've done a decent job in it, but it was needing a bit of tweaking. Also, I think that this was a nice sprite practicing and you learned a spriting tip. This is the most important part of the spriting.

What a long thread!
I'm anxious to get the finished product so I can have just about everything.

I'm really looking for some good original SMB3 music and themes.
By the way, although it's tempting to use it, the Youtube video Super Mario Bros. on the Theremin! can't be used.

What a huge bump!

By the way, posting in older topics like these if you don't have anything to add to them is bad.

That youtube video is talking about music...


It has nothing to do with this topic.

The last post was March 17.
Just a 2 month bump isn't bad.

The topic of music was an afterthought in my post, however I did start posting on topic.
It was encouraging a finish to this process if anyone was thinking of abandoning the project (giving a nice compliment to boot).

If you don't have anything nice to say, then keep it to yourself.

Uh, yes that is bad.

And if you get this topic locked for a bump, we won't be happy.

To those who think this project is forgotten.
Your wrong this project is just on hold for while, Gorsal, Blue Griffin 23 and I have other things to do besides this, so just sit tight and wait.

Sort of, i'm still working on my Waluigi.

...wait for the next sprite update...

So, if you saw the updates, you might have discovered my new spritesheet. This one will be easier, because of its simple style.

I've been working on it... this is the latest version (still not updated)

looks great
