It would be really cool if you could get Small Fire in newer games when collecting a Fire Flower while being Small Mario Also, I think the counter-intuitive Super/Small values, with Super Mario being 0, and Small Mario being 1, is because Mario was always going to be 2 tiles tall, but they implemented the shrinking later

That would be pretty fun! Maybe it'd be part of it's own power-ups based on heat mirages. Mirage Mario, if you will. He could fire fireballs like normal Fire Mario, but these ones merely stun enemies instead of KOing them, along with giving Mario the ability to break bricks and do Super Mario things with the Small Mario hitbox.It'd also transition you to Small Mario immediately on hit--basically, an Expert Mode version of the Fire Flower.

Fun little thing that is kinda mentioned. As you said at the end, your color palette is determined by the power up status. I know some people are like “how come there is a small fire Mario sprite?” Well that’s because it’s just a palette swap. All they do is switch which color goes where, and the sprite just says which color in the palette, not specific colors. So technically all sprites have a massive number of variants
@MegaZeta
Жыл бұрын
If you want to get into "technically", sprites on this system _don't_ have a massive number of variants in that way. Palettes are heavily restricted by everything else on screen at the same time. It's one reason why Mario is the colors he is.
@OctagonalSquare

To an extent, this is what we call in software development, a race condition. Essentially when one piece of code executes with the intent of completing a particular action, but another piece of code executes before that first action is complete, and the second piece of code attempts to analyze or modify data based on the state of data that is being set or modified by the first action. If things are not yet complete, the second piece of code may make bad assumptions and result in odd behavior, such as your size and power up states not being in sync.

The reason the value for small Mario is “1” is because his placeholder graphic was a 16x32 rectangle, meaning his large size was originally the default. The size-changing mechanic was still conceived early in development, but they didn’t come up with that idea until they were already in the midst of sketching out his sprites on graph paper (in old development footage, you can see early designs for Mario’s death animation using the “big Mario” sprites, as well as some unused poses of him scratching his chin. The death animation also originally had two frames for him flailing his arms like in Mario Bros. arcade. The “small Mario” sprites probably took up the memory that was originally reserved for these extra animations)

I remember discovering this on my own way back then. For whatever reason, I tried to jump on Bowser and the axe at the same time, got the shrinking sound, and expected to start the next level small. However, I stayed big, and to my surprise (and the surprise of others watching me), the next power up was a mushroom that shrunk me, and I soon got small fire status afterwards. Also, when I got hit and grew, someone else watching me said something like, "Oh, if you get hit again, you'll just shrink.", but I figured that the next hit I took while big would actually kill me, which was correct. (I think I ended up losing that particular life by falling into a pit, so we didn't actually see at the time that getting hit while big was fatal.) Oh, and doing this glitch while small and dying is amusing, especially since the game will usually play the death music again after the victory music finishes.
You messing around with the glitch with people watching reminds me of the time I learned to bow lift smuggle slide on the Breath of the Wild demo in a Target store.
