I can't be the only one that's dissatisfied with the options currently available for SMW small Mario & Luigi graphics, right?

Wrong?

Well, whatever...

Either way, I decided to make some custom SMW small Mario & Luigi player graphics because I was unhappy with the options currently available (none of them really seem to match all that well). You may recall that I made some SMW small Mario & Luigi player sprites based off the SNES test program/SMW Beta graphics way back when. Suffice to say, I've found those to be rather depreciated ever since SilverDeoxys563 made new ones. However, SilverDeoxys563's sprites have there own set of problems, namely the fact that his sprites seem way too small compared to the actual hitbox and overall looking slightly disproportionate, but I digress. I also am aware that it is possible to get the unmodified SMW small Mario & Luigi graphics into the game through use of LuaLuna mods, however, I understand that there are several SMBX players out there who prefer the vanilla experience and/or are opposed to using or requiring others to use mods for their levels/episodes.

In case any of you were wondering, these graphics are heavily edited versions of the sprites used for Mario's Cameo in SNES Super Scope 6: Lazer Blazer Intercept; credit goes to Someguy of MFGG for ripping those out of the game. For your convenience, I have decided to put a a line up comparison below showing the beta sprites, SilverDeoxys563's sprites, and the new sprites that this post is about respectively for both Mario & Luigi. Obviously, remember to credit me if you decide to use these in a level/episode, as I put a lot of work into making these as perfect as possible. Feedback & constructive criticism that could help me improve these graphics where necessary is also greatly appreciated. Anyways, I'm pretty much done rambling for now. Enjoy! ^-^



Update: So, apparently the Luigi graphics I had originally made for this made Luigi look like he had become one with the giraffe and had an inaccurate mustache, so I decided to try and fix them with some pretty decent results. I fully acknowledge that they probably still aren't perfect, but this is pretty much the best I can do for now. Here is a comparison between the old and new sprites (pictured with the old sprite at the left).

There are actually SMW Mario and Luigi playables, taken straight from the original game, but they require the use of LunaLua. I do have them also.

I believe I mentioned that in the original post.

Actually, they just require LunaDLL.

They're the same. I said LunaLua because it's better than LunaDLL.

As I originally stated, this is for people who don't want to require the use of mods for their levels & episodes or don't want to use mods themselves. I know for a fact that I'm not the only one who thinks that having to install mods for one level is just a little ridiculous (not to say I don't like mods, because I do).

Although I'm glad that people are noticing this, I had originally intended for responses to contain constructive criticism or to be informative of such things as a broken download link, not reinstatement of things I already knew about & acknowledged in the initial post for this thread in the first place.

I'm not trying to pick on anybody & I'm most certainly not trying to be a prick;

I'm just trying to maintain an orderly thread.

They look fantastic! I've been meaning to go back to Return to Dinosaur Land to do some further updating and I might as well include your small player sprites since they're even closer to the original SMW sprites than the current ones, which I, by the way, did not make actually; SilverDeoxys563 made them for the now cancelled Super Mario World Deluxe.

Why thank you!

I have edited the original post to rectify that crediting error; I just thought you made them as it seems you forgot to credit SilverDeoxys563 for that in your graphics pack, which is where I looked for the credits.

Looking forward to seeing these in Return to Dinosaur Land.

Yeah... I got tired of "elf-eared" mario REALLY fast. Props to you, bro!

also, luigi's neck!

Be more constructive...

NO!

These are really good! Now I dont have to use the weird sprites! I personally would change luigi's neck since its looks a little weird, but that's the only problem. (Now all we need is someone to recolor these so they are smb2 colors, and we can stop using the recolored smb3 small sprites.)

Don't worry about it. We were just messing with each other. SuperPhanto is my brother, so in the future, I'll tell him anything l feel the need to say to him in person.

Luigi looks like he's seen something this world isn't ready for.

Other than that, this looks alright.

I have updated the Luigi graphics with new and hopefully fixed versions. Thank you all for your feedback.
