Character Sprite Sheet Help

Hello! First post :') Anyway's I'd like to ask for some help with SMBX and editing it's characters. I want to replace most of the characters with my own creations but in the past I've found it quite tedious to do with how the sprite sheets are handled. I was wondering if there was like a sprite sheet which had grids on so you know what space each frame uses and what area to stay in so the sprite will show the sprite if that makes any sense?! :') Thanks in advance to any help on this!

First off, welcome to the forums! :) You're free to introduce yourself in the Introductions sub-forum if you want.

I don't know if a spritesheet like that exists. But it's a rather simple thing, actually. Each sprite of all five characters in SMBX uses up a space of 100x100 pixels each in the spritesheets. With that information, you can make a graphic with the size 1000x1000 where each 100x100 square has, for example, a different color than the squares nearby. That's about equal to the spritesheet you were talking about.

Hope this helps. ;)
