Parabeatle? I think GP was referring to the rock group "The Beatles". Can't be sure though. |

The donut block is a MAP16 tile that turns into a falling sprite when stepped on. The block changes color just to show the distinction between the block and sprite
The rest of the new sprites are ridable enemies. Shy guy and beezo are pretty basic.
The para beetle is in it's classic form, carrying mario upward.
cool!

I can't tell if you are trying to be an ass or just being funny. In any case...

That is so awesome! Maybe I could use the parabeatle in the paratroopa hideout part of Magi-Koopa World. It would help a lot, I'm sure.  |

@peter_ac: I was referring to what mikepjr said. It was his usual incoherent drivel, so I probably misinterpreted it.

I translated that as

Or something like that. But maybe he was just putting two unrelated sentences together or some crap like that. |

I heard that the sprite number also effects how the sprite behaves. Like when you take the sprite from C7 (thats the falling spike right? Well, if it isn't then whatever the falling spike code is), and paste it over ANY unused sprite code, it will create lightning.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am fairly certain that the charging chucks do that too.
I wonder if that other chuck was meant to play basket ball, or maby climb vines. After all, there are the other sports related chucks in the game. |

Thanks for the encouragement there Glyph. |

If you're suggesting that SMW hacked to be like SMB2 will be really similar to hacking the SMB2 allstars version you're wrong. |

Do you know what this means?
It means that one day when pete gose to work on his SMB2 hack again.
He can actualy make it like SMB2.
And then we could actualy hack Mario allstars mario 2.
That would be sooooo cool. |

I think I have traced a part of fire venus trap inside the reznor,
you can see him by doing this:
1.create a level that SP3=25 and SP4=24
2.Add a reznor (sprite A9)
3.make sure the snes register is 0
4.make sure you can see the top left of screen
And there will be a reznor who act like a venus trap without the pipe enterring/exiting thing
that wouldn't look hard to do, just make a copy of the code to an unused sprite
and remove the boss thing and add the pirhanna entering/exiting thing and make sure she can't breath fire from inside the pipe but I have not enough skill to do it  |

I've traced the chargin chuck code completely because i had the same worry that sprite 96 was useds somehow. From what I've seen, 96 never gets written to the sprite table. All chucks branch to the appropriate code based on their sprite number. 96 is never looked for, so it gets to the default case of the normal chargin chuck. I am fairly certain that it is completely unused. I
I feel completely confident that 12, 69, 36, 96 are okay to be replaced. After I realized that 17 and 53 were used I took a quick look through the ROM to see if I could find any instances of 85 or 88 being written to the sprite table. Since I never found this occuring, I've overwritten these sprites as well. So far I havent seen any negative side effects in doing this, but I cant say for sure as of yet that there arent.
edit: After looking at the code that 85 executes, I'm pretty certain that it is unused. Looking at sprite 88 was a little more interesting, it apparently goes along with the cage in the unused Layer 3 image thread, check over there for the info. |

Something HH said lead me to believe that sprites F7-FF aren't actually valid and changing anything at that point is actually changing code for something completely different. But I'm not sure.

Somebody oughta start a religion around this guy.
And is anybody sure that 96 isn't the sprite that comes out of Splittin' Chuck? |

I'm not claiming to know in particular, but it's been my experience that when you have a duplicate pointer it is still used, and branching may be done based on the index of the sprite. (i.e. if(index == 96) doThis( ); else doOtherChargingChuckStuff( ) )
Can you put this type of Charging Chuck into the game, and does it register behavior exactly the same as a normal Charging Chuck? One single pointer may have access to more than one set of AI.
I used #96 for Stony in SMO (changed a couple of interaction bits so he can only be hurt by head stomps), and I haven't noticed any abnormal behavior from the rest of the Chucks. Considering how many different Chuck varieties there are in the game, it's possible Nintendo originally planned to have one more, but ended up pointing it to the "normal" code instead. |

The most incredible sprite that could be created (except any from Yoshi's Island) would have to be a sprite that can take the place of a boss. As in the bowser from SMB3 .
If not including bosses either then Ptooie or Spike would be amazing.
Of corse and YI enemy would be incredible, but I would imagine those would be very hard to create. Especially Flightless Skeleton Goonies (hint hint). |

Heh, although sprite hacking is awesome, these seem like they should be relatively simple to create... just splice some features of various enemies together. The Beezo is probably just one of those caped koopas which has the code from the giant mole that allows them to be ridden. etc.
Not to say I could do it, or that this isn't cool, but... who did the Hammer Bros. again? mikeyk? That was impressive. |
