[quote="Cruise Elroy"][img]http://i.imgur.com/dsrb3zT.png[/img] I thiiiiiink I'm done with this now.[/quote] This is technically kosher but keep in mind if you made Mario's colors switch when he has the flower, the piranha's colors would switch as well.

Here is the other version of the last entry I've put in(that has to do with SMB4, not the sprite style only). [img]http://i.imgur.com/JKNatoe.png[/img] *seems a bit better right?*

That is your best Mario sprite yet, Q-Nova!

I call this area "[b]Castlewoods[/b]". [img]http://bin.smwcentral.net/u/124/mfgg_smb4_entry_yakibomb_8.png[/img] [img]http://bin.smwcentral.net/u/124/mfgg_smb4_entry_yakibomb_8p2.png[/img] Might or might not be done with this. Please consider this the final if I don't get back to it. Notes: [spoiler]- The reserve item at the top has enough tiles to use up to three colors + transparency, which is why it is in full color. Don't know if this is technically possible. - It's an RPG-like status bar, with level, experience, and a "GEAR" item. I was thinking since if Mario 4 for the NES did exist, they would introduce something new to spice up the game-play. So I thought of the RPG thing. Because why not?![/spoiler]

Nice!

[img]http://i.imgur.com/GkRBNyX.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/GIdxYF5.png[/img] i think i'm done with this for now. for the record i used a slightly different NES palette from [url=http://johanvinet.tumblr.com/post/152165713315/the-infamous-nes-palette]here[/url] which was designed to look accurate to how the colors display on a CRT.

I wasn't fully proud of the last one so I redid a few things. Used many of the same ones while also making new ones.

Wow, guys. There are some really good submissions here! I like them a lot.

[quote="Willsaber"]That is your best Mario sprite yet, Q-Nova![/quote] Thanks, Willsaber! I appreciate the compliment. :biggrin: Anyway, I think I might be done with my entry now. Here's a mockup screenshot (which is gonna be my entry for voting): [img]http://www.quintonland.com/MFGG/smb4_screen.PNG[/img] 2X: [spoiler][img]http://www.quintonland.com/MFGG/smb4_screen_2x.PNG[/img][/spoiler] World 1 in my entry was meant to be designed like a park (which should explain why is there a bench and lamppost in the area). If I were to design more worlds, then city, factory, and sewer areas are some of the areas that would be included. The reason why hearts are seen in the HUD is because I thought that it would use a combination of the health system from SMB2 (the one with the veggies) and the health system from SMB1 and SMB3.

That Fire Flower has four colors, but there can only be three + transparency, right?

[quote="Yakibomb"]That Fire Flower has four colors, but there can only be three + transparency, right?[/quote] 8x8. Q-Nova did the Mega Man rule for it though.

[quote="Yakibomb"]That Fire Flower has four colors, but there can only be three + transparency, right?[/quote] As sprites are made of 8x8 bits, the bottom bits use two colors, while the higher bits use three colors (the Piranha Plant is made the same way). Each 8x8 bit can only have up to three colors plus transparency, so I don't see anything wrong with that method.

^That only applies to tiles, not sprites. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Tiles are placed in an 8x8 grid, but the 16x16 area is always the one that has a palette applied to it. Think of it like a 16x16 grid with 4 different tiles occupying the same space.

[quote="DJ Coco"]^That only applies to tiles, not sprites. Correct me if I'm wrong.[/quote] I'm pretty sure it applies to sprites, because if you see the Koopas in SMB3, there are two 8x8 areas where the palette is yellow instead of red/green.

[quote="DJ Coco"]^That only applies to tiles, not sprites. Correct me if I'm wrong.[/quote] The original post of this thread stated sprites are made up of 8x8 bits that can have up to three colors plus transparency. Also, I saw a lot of NES sprites that have one half of them use a certain color palette, while the other half uses a different color palette. If that happens to be wrong, though, then I suppose that the layering trick was used.
