| Description: | In order to offer more boss variety to our sprite section, I present you... a SMW-Like Lemmy Boss, inspired on the SMB3 version as well, coded for me to use in Mario's Enigmatic Tales. This boss is simple: He walks around tossing balls at you. These balls, if jumped on, either shatter, bounce the player or plain hurt. It also can enter in danger-mode and conjure balls from the sky. When hurt, it shell-runs for a bit (for this sprite to work, block the sides of the arena with walls.) To be assembled with PIXI. Please credit if used, I took some time coding this from scratch. |

Moved graphical tables and WalkSpeeds table to the top for the ease of editing. Added .json for the boss (I didn't add one for the ball since it isn't meant to be used standalone). Ticked "Process interaction with Mario every frame" for Lemmy's ball projectile to make it less likely for the player to clip into them and take unfair damage.
While the boss is functional, I think it could've benefitted from more customizability options. You can't edit its ball throw timings for instance without searching for it in the code somewhere. You have shell state speed define, but not walking speed define and instead it's a table that was down among the code before I moved it up. Also, it could've used better documentation. I thought it throwing three balls instead of one was a glitch. I mean, you can kinda see it in the screenshot, but still. And it's random wether it spawns one ball or three for every hit point from what I can tell. That also could've been customizable, like removing that state outright, or making it consistent. Also note, that it doesn't trigger normal victory when defeated, you'll get teleported using current screen's exit, which isn't mentioned anywhere either. Lastly, I find it curious how the balls can't interact with other sprites like shells or yoshi's tongue, but lemmy can be killed or eaten normally, though that doesn't result in a win. That's not a major issue, I imagine this boss isn't meant to have these things, and it's nothing a couple config edits can't solve.
