Hello ladies an gentlemen, and welcome to the 3rd Sprite Comp of 2014!

If you need a refresher, you can read up on the rules here.

The theme: Bosses with Power Ups!
Image

Yup, for this comp you have to sprite an established boss from any Mario game (This includes the RPGs and spinoff games) under the effects of an official power up. Feel free to go as obscure as you want, as long as it's official.

RULES
- The boss character must be an official boss from a Mario game (Game affiliated with Mario such as DK, Wario, and Yoshi are acceptable).
- Must use official Powerups (again, anything from an affiliated series is fine).
- You sprite must show some change to the design aside from a recolor. In other words, if you choose to give Bowser Jr. a fire flower, you need to do something aside from simply changing his colors.
- At least 1 animation is required (doesn't have to be super complicated, but lets avoid blinking animations please.

The comp ends in a week (the 16th I believe?), so get started and have fun!

Spriting is not my strong suit but why the heck not. Just gotta think of something...

would we be able to use the aforementioned Wario or DK? or are they out due to now being heroes in their respective games?

Yes thats fine, just as long as you don't sprite them with any power ups that they may have had in their games, so no dragon Wario or anything like that.

Can we do something like Tanooki Bowser? Or is he out because he's official?

Yes and no. The one in SM3DL was essentially Bowser under the effects of a Super Leaf (SMB3 styled Super Leaf). However, if you wanted to do Bowser under the effects of the Tanooki Suit (which would probably be along the lines of Meowser in terms of design), that would be fine.

Sorry if that didn't make any sense.

I assume you are implying edits are fine. In that case, allow me to present the beginning of...

EDIT2: Discarded as it would be disqualified.

No that entry is not allowed. As it says in the official Sprite Comp rules that I linked to in the first post, "Your entry must be made by you. Do not submit other people's work under your name". The point is to compete on your own abilities. It's not very fair to enter a competition using official work made by someone from Nintendo now is it?

As for that specific rule, it flat out says that you can't enter with a simple recolor. When I said you have to show a change to the characters design, I mean their official design. For example, if you make an ice flower powered Bowser, you could have his hair and spikes turn into ice crystal or whatever.

Either way, no, you can't use an official sprite as your entry. I do however encourage you to try again with something you made on your own.

Okay, thank you for clearing that up. I'm going to discard that then.

EDIT: Well, maybe not discard it so much as hide it from the internet. The minor SMB2 edit might prove useful someday.

EDIT2:

I think the only really challenging thing was to make the shape of the first sprite, as Wart's movement animation is rather simple. I'm not quite done with it as I feel I need to add a throwing animation and some additional details.

Just be sure to show some change to his design if you go with that. Simply increasing his scale won't work (especially for a character who's size changes in game to begin with).

Heya, everyone. Decided I'd give this competition a try. I'm hoping to see more entries here with an interesting idea like this here.

Anyway, here is my entry. It's Bloomsday/Scumflower from Wario Land: Shake it! with a Propeller Mushroom!

Very neat entries so far. I wish I had the time and patience to sprite Gooper Blooper with a cat bell.
