SUPER ARISA WORLD

[Terminal Devastation]

Doesn't the change between normal and powered up seem rather... small?

I mean, the differences don't stand out that well. I'd think it would be very easy to miss whether you are powered up or not if you weren't paying attention for a moment. Or if you just paused the game for a while and forgot because your short-term memory is really bad.

Not what I meant. I can't believe I'm going to say this... but I wouldn't have mentioned anything if Gors did just make a recolor for the powerup.
A recolor may be rock bottom on the easy simple changes scale, but it usually makes it loud and clear that a change of state has in fact happened.

The closest mario powerup I can think of to whats going on here are the ones from Super Mario land 2 and they are more visible than those tiny cat ears, despite being simpler changes.

I would like to say that the ears aren't very readable as a powerup even though they're clear as a sprite, but I'm not sure if I'm using the term readable correctly here.
