These are absolutely fantastic! While great on their own, you can pretty seamlessly apply the reverting functionality to any custom block you want, pretty much as simple as copy/pasting. Well done!

Why is Yoshi incompatible?

Fixed list.txt where you have misspelled "RevertHold_RequireMovTowards_SwitchPalaceTR.asm".

Oh, thanks. Sa-1 is extremely useful, especially when it comes to certain situations like:
  • If you're programming sprite looting after a sprite is defeated, much like a rewarding system (those type of sprite are probably the only type that interact with blocks, next to the player's fireballs)
  • When having the ability to spawn multiple sprites, like spawning lots of projectiles (megaman shoot-em-up) that aren't extended/cluster sprites, that is a hogger with only 12 slots

And finally, the game can slowdown easily with many sprites, even with optimized code. Its no wonder the VLDC series really wanted SA-1 (even if it wants to stay vanilla as much as possible).

By the way, is there a define where you can change the size of the sprite tables (make it more or less than 22 slots?)

Maybe I was a bit too harsh about the removal simply because of improper SA-1 usage simply because of freeRAM. Of course, that's still not an excuse to not make everything SA-1 compatible. Nonetheless, I had added another define file with proper SA-1 addresses (the one you have suggested in the submission notes were already reserved for the backup part in BW-RAM but you knew it from the HP meter).

Other then that, I haven't found any problems so I went to an acception.
