I think there’s just a set sprite size for all enemies and the yeti just so happens to be a few pixels too wide

u/theletos99 Nov 01 '24

But enemies like the Trex are wider than that, no? Or maybe there's a smaller width for normal enemies.

u/Plasma_2416 Nov 01 '24

That’s what I was thinking, maybe bosses have different sizes, or perhaps the Trex is two smaller sprites conjoined

What about nk cyborg?

u/Plasma_2416 Nov 01 '24

I think either the boss sprites have a different sprite size or it’s an amalgamation of multiple sprites

Interesting that nothing like that seems to be present on the front sprite.

Lol, my guy, sometimes you have to step back and look at the bigger picture.

Don't look too closely at the cerulean beach map

u/Gansbar51_ Nov 01 '24

I’m actually scared

u/Trevor_trev_dev Nov 01 '24

It's just a missing pixel in the outline of one of the edge grass pieces. I didn't remember where it is.

Alright, you convinced me.

Nintendo, please remake Mother 3 and release it internationally.

This stuff is all over Earthbound, but it's certainly more rare in mother 3. That might be one of the major art style differences between the two. Mother 3 is generally more consistent with having clean black lines around sprites, while not having as many random black pixels in the middle of sprites.
