They still have the box-shaped collision perimeter, just their ASM deals with it instead. |

Hmm... but how does one deal with the collision detection between sprites that are not box-like. You know, bubbles. How are their collision detection mapped? Is it safe to say that the bounding box would be completely inside the bubble?

For a good example of collision detection boxes, play Vectorman for the Genesis and press ABACAB while paused. The little lights that appear indicate where collision detection will occur.
So it's tile based just like I thought. Wouldn' that have and effect on the graphics? Oh, but wait... graphics are stored as tiles anyways. I'm wondering if these collision detections take into account transparent areas. And why does Mario or any of the other characters always hit platforms, ground, pipes, or walls perfectly? Why is there not overlap of the 2 sprites when the collision detection occurs? What would be your approach to this?

AFAIK It has not, although I would think that it wouild work something like the example below.
'get the sprite's size
(commented out becaue the code for the tables I was using was rather large)
'now check it with the player's X coordinate.
(the code is almost the same as the snippet below)
'Now, if the the X coords were reasonably close, check the Y co-ords
if Px > Ex then
if (px - Ex) < es AND (px - ex) < ps then coll = TRUE
else
if (ex - px < es AND (ex - px) < ps then coll = TRUE
End If
'now do the damage routine if there is a collision... |

How complicated is the collision code? Has it been mapped out fully yet? Just curious, I might have some ideas to fiddle with if they're feasible. |

Yeah, I forgot Sprite to Sprite. Silly me. And I consider Mario a sprite, albeit a little more unique than the rest of the bunch.  |

Don't forget that (most) sprites turns around if it collides with another sprite. Also, don't forget Mario to sprite collision. |

The only collisions that matter to the game is when a sprite touches a Layer 1 (or Layer 2, in some levels) object. Everything else is ignored, at least as far as I know. |

What would you concider tile based? Walls, blocks, ground, etc? I'm still confused.

How is collision detection done in Super Mario World? This has always intrigued me. Is it tile-based or sprite-based. Perhaps I will get into Super Mario World because it could attract more tourists to my site. It also looks like fun.
