For some reason a while ago, I thought this was pre-rendered.

@wackysauce That was also done for A Link to the Past, Star Fox, and Star Fox 2, all on SNES.
(edit): Yes, the Triforce and maiden crystals in A Link to the Past are real-time rendered 3D polygonal models. Not only that, but they're sprites, and the crystals in particular are transparent.

soon, they said

a spritesheet for a 3d character is fuvking insane

@yttian A lot easier to use for a flash game than the actual model... Runouw (the creator of Super Mario 63) actually used this for a different, simpler fangame.

this is the most pointless page on the site

What?
Mario is a model in this game, he shouldn't have a spritesheet!

Everyone always asks: "Where's Luigi?"
But no one ever asks: "Where's Small/Regular Mario?"

soon.

mario was a model the all time, not a sprite.

And I'm still waiting for this sheet to be completed since this day where nothing happened

The "always a consistent distance from the screen" argument doesn't really hold much water considering the game zooms the camera on a few occasions, most notably at the start of some levels and when jumping from the Spin Block. Don't really wanna see this sheet deleted though, it's neat as a historical curiosity.

@Heitorsant no, where did you got that info

what???? so he is a 3D model in the normal nsmb but he's just sprites in the ique version?

THAT IS WAY TOO MANY FRAMES!

@Valis As has been answered numerous times, it's because he's always at a consistent distance from the screen unlike most games that have models on a 2D plain, meaning they are always pretty consistent in their appearance (like sprites).

why is this up if mario is a model

@kozompadler He is actually a model in the original game, being used to make expressions easier, which is hard to do with 2D sprites. I'm guessing this spritesheet was made by using screenshots or a tediously long process of recreating each and every sprite of Mario (well, Super Mario at least).

@kozompadler He is, these were made using screenshots I think.

who else thought he was a model
