WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING

i love this fuckin dude, man

i made a sprite like this eons ago but i decided to remake it and i think it's really funny

lack of death animation aside, its pretty much done

currently no way to deal damage (and no interaction with morton himself) but even so, i think the actual pattern works well so far

this fix is also extremely easy, at 2 bytes!... but it breaks ONE (1) thing.

when you get hit while on Yoshi, Yoshi will inconsistently run either toward the damage he took, or away from it

this is a bug with *most* vanilla sprites. the way the code works checks the sprite's position relative to a mirror of Mario's, but this mirror is initialized as x00 on level load and doesn't get set until after the sprites' Init routines have run

so essentially, they're walking toward position x00

so, one of my favorite bugs in SMW has to be the way Boos work.
basically, when they spawn in, their initial direction isn't initialized properly so they always face right, causing them to "turn" to face Mario on-spawn
particularly noteworthy because makes Boo Blocks misalign and become obvious

big thinking

added some code to strip out the automatic X-flip of the graphics which allows you to technically use your own unique flipped frames

forgot to add the stars around mario's head

adds a lot i think

everything seems to be working well so far

honestly wasn't sure how close i could get it since color addition is kinda weird due to 15-bit color depth on the SNES but it's coming out surprisingly good
