Alright, so I'm making a episode staring a Koopa Troopa. (Over Mario)
My idea is when moving at top speed, when the player crouches. They will turn into a Koopa Shell.

So here's my idea- I said that twice. Um. Is the player would turn into a spinning turtle shell when they crouched. And obviously different colors based on the power-up they were wearing.
So like, 6 custom NPCs are needed? Because I don't want the player to have this ability when they're small.
Obviously they can jump.

Again I don't expect this to be done, but I'm just putting it out there incase someone has some time on their hand, and is really bored.
Thanks for reading.

From the sound of it you need 0 NPCs, collision checks against breakable blocks and npcs, and some extra frames on your player spritesheet.
What you'd basically do is detect ducking state at maximum speed and toggle a flag in your own code that enables your own shell-like physics. You definitely wouldn't want to use NPCs because with NPCs you could basically kill yourself by shelling into another shell or any thrown NPC.

Just as a brief outline for how this would be done by whomever interested.

Thank you so much, I didn't even think of this
