So, we all probably know about SMBX 38a, and there's this feature called “GFX expansion” which can be useful to some recolored sprites, instead of having a different block/NPC/background for each color
All we have to do is just put the sprite at the other side, and setting the sprite size correctly
Example:
will turn into
the graphics are different, but they act the same way, that's how the feature could work

You can do that too in SMBX2.

Variant sprites (gfx expansion is a terrible name) are on the roadmap. They're tricky to implement in a basegame context. For per-episode or per-level, using them boils down to using Graphics.drawImageToSceneWP() with the correct arguments to draw the NPC sprites manually an offset them horizontally by their variant ID.
