Purpose: Background
Slots Used:
Palette Row(s) Used:
Description: The background used in the title screen of Pilotwings (for SNES), it's a simple sky background with clouds. Includes a fake HDMA too.

If want to use it in a level, I recommend you to use a layer 3 background, since the background is a bit empty on the top.



Note: the background scrolling must be disabled.

Obsoleted by Natsu's rip, which is much more optimized in general, in terms of palette usage mainly. The fake gradient in the sea of the old version is inaccurate.
