Sprite Competition #168, Mario's not going it alone this time!

this discussion has already taken place

Ive made a seond entry!

and ive took a rather different aproach...




that's right! i did him in PMTTYD style!

he's called Goomdroid and here is is story.

he was and ordinary goomba who volantired to be part of an experiment that bowser planned to give a regular goomba robotic hands that could be controlled from it's brain. the plan backfired and the fists went crazy, and caused severe brain damage and the goomba also received several facial injuries. two days later, the goomba recieved an operation to allow him to live. the operation failed. a side operation to try and shape his face took place aswell. they managed to complete it though it's not perfect. they had one option left: robotic enginering. this caused the goomba to live, but bowser asked the doctors to change the operation slightly. he asked them to load him with weapons inside his body, because he would be released in two months, and to be back n the koopa army. two months past, and he didn't join the army. he joined mario to get revenge on bowser! for he never would have been in this state!

things you may notice about Goomroid

He has no eyebrows
he walks like a robot
His power is thermal imaging so you can see whats behind walls
He stands still most of the time because he is a robot
i might have time to fix up thwank

EDIT: so you know, i managed to rotate it without the blur!

Its looks very... rushed.

I can still see the 'blur' on the rotations, the palette is very inconsistent, and there are quite a few disappearing outlines.

Edits much?

it's over 9000 XDDD SO FUNE



I'm sorry but the hands look alot like edited mario hands, not to mention the fact that they use slightly different colours than the actual body, which im guessing are supposed to be the same colour, which suggest that he just recoloured them.

Also, DragNaut, I really am convince that they're edits. It looks like you took Goomba sprites, recolored them using a color editor, and stretched them a bit. And if you used Mario's gloves as reference, it looks like you used them for reference on the pixel level, and that is essentially editing. Some other things look like they have little to no shading, like the fuse or the smoke, which look like they were obviously made by you. I'd also be lying if I said I liked the sheet, because I don't. If you had put effort into the shading of the main body, you would've put effort into the other minor things, which would have required less work to begin with. I'm sorry, but I don't even think these should be allowed in the contest. And I'm sorry if I'm all wrong about this, but the evidence is just staggering.

Okay, wow. Talk about your last-minute entry...



I didn't have time to write up back stories, so I'll just list the names and species...

From top to bottom:
- Squilt, the kid Wiggler. He's a more mature Squiggler, actually.
- Jackaleso, the leader of an Anuboo clan.
- Cheerie, the Eerie that is the not-so-fiece rival of Trish Kay-bob. (One of Ron's characters)
- Penny, the rich but kind Starbag. (Star Bit Bag from Galaxy, and yeah, she actually holds coins instead of Star Bits, because she's a terrestrial version.)

I love it. Only thing that bugs me is the wiggler's gloves. I think that the outline is slightly too light. It makes it look pillowed, mainly the one closer to us. Love the various species choices.


Also, don't Anuboo's go on all fours?

Amazing as always.



The Triple Puns
They fight together and stick together. Each with different colors making them difficult to hang out with there group. So they decided to form a team.

it's final 5 time! now, who's starting the vote?

Not yet. Look at the time the original post was made.

edits don't count right

This one has a staff (Or whatever it's called), which it could lean on

To answer your question - No, Anuboos aren't on all fours. You only see the hind legs; it's implied that the front legs/arms are in the blackness somewhere. You can't see them in SS because Anuboo had no shading whatsoever.

Squilt's gloves are based on Mario's. If you compare they have the same kind of shading and outline. (Yes, Mario's do actually do appear pillowed...)

Looks brilliant Ridge.

By the way isn't this over? Top 5 time yes?
