Sprite Compo #156- Musical Mayhem

Knock it off people. If he hasn't changed it by now, he obviously isn't going to, so why not stop complaining and just get started.

It's not that hard, Listen to your favorite song, and imagine a situation in a Mario game where that song could be used, then sprite that situation.

If it's a sad song, sprite a game over screen with a little mario ghost, if its an actiony theme, sprite Mario fighting bowser. Instead of making 1 sprite, you are making a bunch that you throw together to make a fake screen shot.

Seriously, Stop whining already.

EDIT-You can get rid of the cheese, as I've thrown out all the "whine".

Well its prolly been about a year and a half since I sprited anything. So I still a lil rusty....

But heres bg and wutev

Ill update later

I think a good idea would be for people to post the song that inspired their peice, so others can how well it fits.

mine is inspired by the jolly roger bay theme

Im going to do something Mario-Kart related, from a course. Not sure which song/course yet though.

Thats an interesting idea. Depending on what kind of song it is, the course could range from a simple snowy village to a blazing volcano.

Yeah, thats also a great idea, I might try that.

32 colors? That seems a little strict considering most good Mario sprites have 16 colors.

These sprite competitions seem to be straying farther and farther from the main idea, the one with the Yoshi transformations was the last one true to the title, IMO.

The theme of this comp is to make a a fake screen shot. That screen shot is made up of custom sprites. You want to do a comp where you make custome single sprites? Well then, have at it.

I think people should just stop complaining. If you cant do it because you lack the skill, then dont complain to get it changed. Other than that reason I dont believe anyone has the right to say this is an illegitimate contest. This is a good idea. And if you do not want to participate, than dont.

Really? Just share palettes and colours. Also, a good sprite utilizies the least colours but still conveys shading and shape.

I like the current flow of the contests myself.

Doing 'Rap is a Man's Soul' or 'Libera me from Hell.'

Heck ya, DRILLZ

Dibs on vs. Dark Gaia Phase Two or The Final Countdown

Btw Im scratching my original entry.
And my song is

The City Is At War
Cobra Starship

Its not really hard just kind of hard to understand.

So basically where going to make a level that has enemies on it. But it must suit the song that you are listening too..
So doesn't that mean we must post the music with it because then we don't really need to listen to some music and just make anything.

I believe that you have to make a scene from a game that fits the theme of your favorite song. From what I can tell it doesn't even have to make sense to the Mario world. It just has to show a relation to the song.



For example, this is my song. The begining sounds sad, almost like someone wants help, but it doesn't have your average "sad" feel. It has more of a climactic sound to it, so it would be someone who usualy wouldn't ask for help, so I decided to pin that as Bowser.

The next thing that stuck out is that it jumps stright into a fast pace fight theme. This would mean that Bowser, or someone, would need to start a fight amidst pleeing for help, thats when I came up with the idea htat Bowser could be possesed, but fighting it.

The last part was comming up with who possesed him, and for that, I wen with the person who the song is for, 02, and badda bing, my theme was born.

WIP, you can probably guess what song it is influenced by.
btw, i STILL didn't get my top 5 badge from the competition before the last one.

Lemon Tree?

Inform Mr. Aforcer (The Badge Moderator) then, instead of complaining about it in the sprite competition topics.
