Well, its kinda bad for all of you. I used paint.net.
So this Giant Mario replaces SMB3 Bowser. The fire power
won't can now reach to ground, and its or his
only other attack is a massive Ground Pound. Nobody did not answered my request so I made this. You can call it whatever you want, like Glitched-up Mario, Dirty Pixels, a giant Mario robot,
bla bla. I made this for my project.
Versions:
v1
- everybody hates it.
v2
- Modern 8bit Big Mario with 8bit firepower. Erased v1 download link and archive.

ok first off, that's WAAAAAAAY too big to be functional. 2nd, the pixel size should only be 2x2 because everything else clashes horribly. 3rd,when you resize something, make sure you set it to nearest neighbor before changing its size.

Although this is true, it's not all you have to do when resizing a graphic. After resizing it to ?%, you will have squares of pixels that are more than 2x2 px. (Resize a graphic by 200% + nearest neighbour will make each block of colour 4x4 px.) Now you have to go through and add blocks of 2x2 px to get rid of most of the 4x4 px. A great example of this can be found in the giant Shy Guys in the Community GFX Pack. They are twice the size of normal, resized with N.N., and then modified to remove the blocks of 4x4 px. Try using them as a reference. This needs a lot of work.

So this is 4x4 pixels?
This is a hilarious, but not a good idea to do.
Heh, I guess giant graphics are a bad idea (I have this old giant villager that is extremely big).

Well, Giant graphics can be done well, but it's one of the most tedious tasks out there in terms of SMBX. I think Vatlerri (I think I spelt that wrong) did a giant bowser that looked great. I don't know if that was actually Vatlerri tho.

Not really. He resized it incorrectly so now it's a mess of blocky sections and 1x1 pixels.

Giant Mario is decided to be changed to Big Mario, because no one likes the first version.
PS I don't know what's the size of Big Mario (the forme in Super Mario Maker)

He's 2 blocks by 2 blocks.
Personally I don't mind 4x4 pixels, but this may be pushing the boundaries a bit...
Also since it's 8-bit but with more color it really annoys me because it's essentially a 16-bit sprite with absolutely no shading that clashes with the much more detailed area around it

I think it wasn't just not a grammatical error.
If you want to make it a little easier on yourself, I just realized that there is actually a big Mario in the CGFX pack that you could use for reference. I'm pretty sure it's used as a giant grabbable Grinder.
