Hmmm, really? Ok, I will put Kamek on the Magikoopa sheet

Yeah, they should go together.

EDIT: oh, now I notice, if that one is really Kamek, he shouldn't go with magikoopas. If he is just a normal magikoopa, he can go with his battle poses.

Great job, guys! Brirose gives me nightmares.

Mageker and I are working together on Blodog, here is the overworld, and the battle will be joined to it by Mageker soon.



EDIT: This is what I have so far of Brirock. Mageker will rip him eventually, so thought I'd post this bit of his overworld.

Yeah, Blodog will be finished soon, but I can't get his running attack pose, it has to many effects :/ Can someone rip it using tile ripping or something? And... I don't know if I'll rip brirock actually...probably not :/

I'd work on tile ripping, but I'm not sure if it's possible yet. I'm not good at figuring out compression stuff. If they're like Rocket Slime though I'll probably be able to pull it off. All I would need is palette reference sprites, and since I'm not going to be able to play a japanese game, I'd need someone else to do it. I'll check it out though. Hopefully the internal files aren't all ARC, cause "I don't know how to unpack those accursed things.

Edit: Apparently they're .dat files. I can see if I can open them in Tile Molester, but they might be too big, seeing as how they seem to be all in one file. I think there's two seperate files for Bowser and Fawful minions or something...'BObjMon' and 'FObjMon'. I dunno. I wish it were easier.

Next Edit: All right, I'm opening them and trying all sorts of different settings but am getting very little more than just a scrambled mess of colors. I can see where images repeat though slightly. I'm going to try a few different things. If anyone can help out and get me going in the right direction it'd be very helpful.

The only way to tile rip it is to do it from a savestate, the files in the ROM itself are compressed. And since I didn't check each one, try with both 4bpp and 8bpp (I don't know about the enemies, but Mario, Luigi, and Bowser are encoded in this, so are backgrounds) linear, 2-D.

In that case I can attempt save state tile ripping if you guys supply them. I'll do my best.

Once the English version is released I'll be much more inclined to actually play through and get stuff.

Edit: Yes, they're all compressed. I hate it whent hat happens. Very sad face.

I already started brirock but I will not finish it so you can continue the sheet if you want

Ok, so that Magikoopa really is Kamek, because Bowser discusses the Mushroom with him like he's not some little grunt, and it's not often Bowser is with just 1 minion, so yeah.

So keep them seperate, right?

Well we could call the sheet "Magikoopas" seeing as how that's what Kamek is. I mean, they all look the same, right?

Yeah, they do

Then just make a section for Kamek on the sheet, right?

Also, I only have to grab Cheering, Cake holding, Cake Plate holding, and diagonal poses for Boo-Ties/Boo

That would work.

Awesome job

I claim this fellow in the name of Mars, because I already started the ripping:
