And thus the Mario fangames were flooded with this thing. Most of the time they even get the character wrong, thinking it's actually Bowser.

@Proking235 These comments are really helpful. The dumps from this game have a lot of color errors, and I haven't played in years, so I don't know what they all are. Please keep pointing them out and I'll try to fix them.

@Duderinoprime: We did. :P I recently rediscovered the topic and started sheeting some of the remaining stuff. It kind of spiraled from there.

yo i thought they abandoned this game's sprites years ago

I feel like I'm cursed. Every time I look at one of these new replaced sheets after I go "YES" my immediate reaction is "okay let's see what palette is wrong". today, it's the rock dark bowser throws and everything else to do with it.

can't give a timestamp for fire because I don't know if anyone on the internet has been hit by it and it seems accurate to what I recall.

Might want to change the thumbnail.

@GuyWhoSleeps the reason you saw that his head legs and mouth were separate images is because Dark Bowser and every other character in this game are models. They are a bunch of 2D planes stacked together with the pieces that make up the sprite textured onto them. Dark Bowser, along with 80% of the other sheets on here come straight from MFGG, which has pretty much no vetting when it comes to uploading sprites. The sprites you see here were ripped by taking screenshots of an emulator, and sadly or Dark Bowser, that emulator was running in real time, so he is missing an astronimical amount for frame/entire animations.

Maybe he couldn't upload the Overworld Sprites.

Doesn't Dark Bowser have overworld sprites?

I saw this Corruptions Video of the Final Boss and Noticed that Dark Bowsers Arm's Leg's Mouth and Head are all Seperate Images
