I agree with you, MH, but I would've used a bit...um, kinder words, such as "that palette needs work--Pink Yoshi shouldn't have blue patches on his (her?) head."
This is coming from someone who's been actually BANNED from some forum for such language. Not saying you'll get banned, but just...please use nicer words next time.
Oh, and if you want SMB2 (SMB: USA to the Japanese) graphics, specifically Birdo, there is a "Birdo Player" patch on this site (look under Patches). There are also tons of SMB2 enemy sprites, and even the "veggie pull" patch!
Anyway, I like the idea of your Pink Yoshi hack, Crash. Hacks where Yoshi is the player character are somewhat scarce, but I'd have to say, right now, that yoshifanatic's Yoshi's Strange Quest, when the final version comes out, will be the bar by which all other Yoshi-based hacks will be measured. Yes, it's THAT good. Just PM yoshifanatic and he might give you a beta copy to test out before the final version is released (v. 1.4?).
