I suppose another solution you could take is decreasing the scale of the character to fit, which for a design this simple I feel could work well.

*tend to vary in size *in Mario Maker*, if that wasn't super clear. In base SMB enemy sprites do fit within those constrictions

Either way I think my initial point more refers to sprites of humans and anthropomorphic characters who absolutely *can* fit into 16x32 constrictions.

Sometimes there are characters who just can't but 90% of the time they most certainly can.

I guess I could let this slide as this is more of an enemy design (I know you made a playable skin of this), feels very much like something you'd see out of Mario Maker and those tend to vary in size.

though for sprites where the box is flat, you could scrunch the wheels in a little more I suppose.

it's okay you can say Remastered it's okay

(not dissing that project I still need to look into their updates I think they had one not that long ago)

"oh but it'll look ugly" GOOD. it's SMB1. that's part of the charm. it's supposed to look a at least little funny.

I dunno I just have this weird tick from doing simple character hacks as a young teen where I find it more fun and charming to work within the limitations or only breaking from it very sparsely, if you absolutely cannot help it.

07.02.2026 22:17 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 10    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

every SMB1-styled sprite I see always has to be asymmetrical when standing and wider than 16x32 these days and it always feels very weird to me

07.02.2026 22:17 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 21    ๐Ÿ” 3    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 5    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

can't say that I have but I've been on v140.7.0esr (purely because of wanting to install one extension that I've since found a replacement for) so I dunno

I think what gets me more is if someone quotes my post when they could've easily and more appropriately replied. at that point, that just alerts me to intentions of number farming.

to answer your question, it only plugs into a GameCube or Wii natively without adapters, but I feel it doesn't work when trying to adapt things to modern generations which is what other people are suggesting

06.02.2026 19:19 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I feel like whether it plugs into anything else pre-Wii shouldn't matter for a discussion like this?

the argument deals with how games use buttons and I just feel the controller doesn't work for games outside of a small limited pool without breaking into carpal tunnel or ridiculous territory

what exactly do you mean I think I'm having trouble understanding what you're asking

06.02.2026 18:59 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I really don't like the argument that "the A button is the button you use most = genius???" as in my eyes it just ends up limiting what you can comfortably perform, all because of a choice made for me by someone else.

the moment you leave basic 3D platformers and NES/GB(C/A) games you're fucked.

LRP hits me hard very close to home because I have this burned memory in my brain of how much I struggled playing SMW on a GameCube controller on Wii VC

why the hell did they not have button re-maps back then

I'm familiar with pretty much every Aqua Teen episode (sans the newer movie that came out) I've been watching that for years

Venture Bros. is on the list I've been meaning to check out that one

yeah I think this year I want to binge more adult swim stuff. especially older stuff.

I never mentioned it on here but I'm like halfway through sealab '21. I also have a personal list of other stuff I want to check out

I am aware there are two other episodes planned for Smiling Friends season 3 (from what I read anyway?) but at least what's here right now I've enjoyed

I forgot to mention it last night but Season 3 was considerably stronger for me. not much I can say other than a lot of those episodes landed for me like what I remember from season 1.

I know the small standing one is burned in my brain from how many times I've built it out of legos as a kid. a few others are too but not as strongly from my early years of messing around with SMB1 sprite hacks and hidden Luigi edits

the problem my copy has is that it plays fine *until* the moment you reach the first world's boss, in which something bugs out and it resets back to a glitched title screen.

this happens on my GBA, my GBC (which it's hard to fit in the first place), and my GB Pocket

it's not that I don't want to open it but rather just can't with what tools I have atm.

should also say the contacts are basically spotless, I'd know it's not that.
