Also, the head could use some extra work, as it's the same head copied and pasted all over again. (The nose and the stache could be different, for example.)
The body's completely original, and the heads copied and pasted over and over again, because...well...Why make a new head for every frame?
And its for the sole purpose of animation, you don't want body parts to change position to much. Lets say:
Your standing, your head is upright and normal. When you jump or do something, your entire head position isn't gonna shift, it would ruin the animation. You don't want the changes to be too dynamic, it would look choppy.
I hope this answered your question.
(SPOILER: I'm also thinking about making the guy in contra a playable character!)
