Thank you to SuperArthurBros for letting me start this!
Um... some news site or whatever wrote:
Anticipating the great success of Sonic Mania, Nintendo is also looking to their fans for game development. The project, Super Mario Bros. 4, will be released for the Nintendo Switch and feature a new style of NES-compatible graphics. Entrants contending for the spriting role are advised to submit their sample assets at their local Mario fangaming galaxy by January 28th, with voting to commence immediately thereafter.


There you have it, folks! Nintendo's asking us for a new NES Mario style. At least, so says my highly reputable news source. But the challenge stands nonetheless! Good luck; I'm excited to see what you'll all make!

Oh, and here are the oft-confused NES restrictions:

Uh, shouldn't this be named "Sprite Competition #1 2017", bigpotato? Also, I noticed that you forgot to add a deadline to the competition. The theme sounds really interesting, though. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what will people make for this competition! :D

This is the deadline, I think.

Good catch! It would seem my mind hasn't made the transition from 2016 to 2017 yet. Thanks for fixing it, DJ Coco.

It's a really cool idea, but does this mean you can't use anything from SMW or NSMB in order to avoid a sort of "sequel overlap"?

You can make anything, as long as it could be in a new Mario game.

That's great! It's always interesting to see 8-Bit stuff from future Mario games.
I don't know if I'll have time to make an entry, but it'll definitely be cool to see what other people come up with.

It's a good thing I'm almost done with my drawing competition entry. Hopefully I will have time to work on this.

Ooh, I'm interested in joining this one. I'm very curious of what others will submit.

Are we allowed to use edited sprites tilesets in a similar manner of Sonic Mania?

Sonic Mania had Green Hill with edited elements.

The new sprites in Sonic Mania still use the original's style, whereas this is intended to be a completely new style. Also, edits are generally discouraged in sprite competitions.

Ah, thanks for clearing it up.

I assume this would be a fitting style, right?

Yes.

I like it. Maybe that hat could be tweaked a bit at its back.

Uh...there already IS a Mario 4. Remember SMW?

Here is mine for the entry! The good ol' Goomba standing here staring at you...
Does it matter for the size of the goomba?

I don't believe this counts

Unless you're using a lot of sprite layering, but that would flicker like hell

Several SMB3 sprites have more than 3 colors.

I don't think many of them use 8

The size of the goomba is fine, but it's not really feasible to display in such a game as the one proposed. I would advise reducing the number of colours.
