New Super Mario Bros - Spin Block

SMW Sprites → New Super Mario Bros - Spin Block

Submission Details

Name: New Super Mario Bros - Spin Block
Author: JamesD28
Added:
Tool: PIXI
Type: Standard
Dynamic: Yes
Disassembly: No
Includes GFX: Yes
Description: This is a Super Mario World themed recreation of the Spin Block from New Super Mario Bros, typically seen in "Athletic" levels. When Mario stands on the platform, it will rev up and start spinning Mario. Pressing B will make him jump off the platform normally, but pressing A will launch him into the sky with a spin-float ability. You can then let Mario slowly float back down, or make him dive down fast by pressing down. When diving, Mario can break through turnblocks.

Requires DSX (already applied by default if you're using SA-1).

I tried to use this sprite, but it fails to jump.
Is there any way to set it up?

Same thing happens to me. 2 years later.

Fantastic animation, very cool and works great on its own. Definitely has some quirks when combined with other parts.
- Diving through turnblocks isn't 100% reliable
- Collision with certain enemies while spin-floating inconsistent; some sprites like Rex and Flying Koopas works as expected, but you will get hurt if you try to bop a grounded/shelless Koopa. Bopping a Chuck does not hurt you but you don't get any recoil.
- Bopping an enemy while diving sends you REALLY high.

Would be nice to see a 4-frame animated version or some of the redundant parts of the sheet cleaned up since it uses an entire GFX slot for itself too.

I figured out the issue. It's a problem with BSNES v115, not this sprite.

Tested with Asar v1.81, Dynamic Sprites Patch, Lunar Magic 3.30, SA-1 1.32, bsnes v115. Fantastic work on recreating this! Really easy to set up.

How could I change the palette row that this sprite uses so that both this sprite and the status bar won't be pulling from the same palette row?

Code
LDA #$0F				;/
ORA $64					;|
STA $0303|!addr,y		;|

#$0F handles the palette - #$0E is to use sprite palette 7, and the +1 makes the tiles use SP3/SP4. To use sprite palette 6 you would replace #$0F with #$0D, for palette 5 you'd use #$0B, and so on.

They are indeed significantly bigger - the original NSMB ones are 23x20 which isn't something I felt like handling interaction for :)

As Mario himself would say when launching off of one of these...
WHEE-HEE-HEE!

That spinning animation of the sprite is SMOOTH.
