Tip: Take advantage of easy to install Patches in your hack. For example, the Classic Piranha Plant fix should be considered if you are planning to insert that sprite in your hack.
A simple shell that can be bounced multiple times with a counter showing how many bounces are left.
- Number of bounces from 1 to 9 or infinite;
- Will destroy itself after the last bounce;
- If extra bit is set it will spawn in kicked state going towards the player direction;
- Uses custom exgfx tile for the numbers and "infinite" symbol (just a slightly modified GFX20.bin file. SP4 of Banzai Bill tileset). Should be renamed before inserting. Remap it to fit your needs.
Update (KevinM):
- Added 5-9 bounces option (and updated GFX file with those tiles)
- Changed bounce number define to use the first extra byte instead: no need to insert the same sprite multiple times
- Changed initial kicked speed define to use the second extra byte instead
- Changed cfg file to json with Lunar Magic custom sprite list entries for the different options
- Added json files for different palettes as well (Green, Red, Yellow, Blue)
Everything in the update works as intended, so, accepted. However, there's a few bugs with this sprite (which were also present in the previous version) which would be nice to see fixed in a future update:
- If the Shell is bopped with a cape pound while kicked, it will immediately freeze, and be killed shortly after (like a squished Shell-less Koopa or Rex).
- If the Shell is caught by a Blue Shell-less Koopa while kicked, or spawned kicked with a speed of $20 or lower, the Shell's bounce counter will decrement quickly until it's killed. If the Shell is set to infinite bounces, it will instead enter a strange "hybrid" state where it acts both carryable and kicked at the same time.
- If a Shell-less Koopa hops inside the Shell, it will become a Green Shell that loses interaction until eaten and spat out by Yoshi.
