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.

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

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

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.

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

I translated that as

Peter_ac's SMB2 hack will help us hack the SMB2 part of Super Mario allstars.

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

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.

Parabeatle, eh? Would that be the kind that sing songs like Mario's Silver Hammer, Rocky Racoon Leaf, A Hard Day's Night(because Mario kept stepping on us) and Koopa in the sky with diamonds?

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

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.
