Blue Parakoopa, Flies in a Circle

Tested With:
-Lunar Magic 3.51
-PIXI 1.42
-bsnes v115
-SA-1 1.40

The only small things I noticed is that hitting the koopa with cape does not produce hit effect, and the koopa does not react to bounce blocks/yoshi quake. Otherwise it works pretty well.

I suggest re-recording the first gif, as it looks quite choppy.

This has a bug where jumping on the koopa while riding Yoshi won't give you the normal bounce off of it. To fix that, immediately after the

on line 431, insert the lines

Commenting just to rate it 5/5

One of the best sprites <3

Fixed.
Honestly though, when I look at the code of this sprite it just calls for rewriting all of it from the ground up. Handling of Koopas in this game was a mistake.

Why this parakoopa, along with yellow, don't give you score when spinjumped?

The Hitbox is So Broken

Thanks for the fixes and I agree with Fostelif the direction they face being based on up/down not left/right is a bit strange.

Sometimes, when I spinjump the blue parakoopa, it hurts Mario.

Wouldn't it make more sense to turn the Koopa in the direction he's going in terms of left or right rather than up or down?

Spitting out with yoshi will behave unexpectedly.

I made a fix but it is uberasm code, since sprite tool's main is unreachable when it is in Yoshi's mouth.

put this in gamemode 14.
gamemode_14:
JSR CustomSwallow
RTS
CustomSwallow:
LDX #11 ; although it says 11, it loops 12 times.
.loop_start:
LDA $14C8,x
CMP #$07
BNE .loop_again
CMP #$14 ; custom sprite number of blue parakoopa, CHANGE THIS.
BEQ .bluekoopa
CMP #$15 ; custom sprite number of yellow parakoopa, CHANGE THIS AS WELL.
BEQ .yellowkoopa
BRA .loop_again
.bluekoopa:
LDA #$06 ; sprite = blue koopa
STA $9E,x
JSL $07F7D2 ; this will clear most of sprite table.
LDA #$07 ; it will become swallowed and give ability to Yoshi.
STA $14C8,x ; I don't know if it's necessary, but I put it anyway.
BRA .loop_again
.yellowkoopa:
LDA #$07 ; sprite = yellow koopa
STA $9E,x ; kinda same except it is yellow.
JSL $07F7D2
LDA #$07
STA $14C8,x
loop_again:
DEX
BPL .loop_start
RTS

im dum, fixed

The .l was probably used to make it data bank independent which doesn't work because indexing with Y doesn't support that. Weird is that he said he fixed it yet it isn't fixed. He might've missed that one since the other don't have it but idk

Don't know why it is here, but it works.

Remove the .l

error: tmpasm.asm: line 361: invalid opcode or command [LDA.l KillSFX,y]
What I suppose to do here?

Zeldara109 approves this sprite!

Awesome work! Good job!

I like the sprite but i wish there was a sa-1 conversion.

fixed a compile error in spritetool (complaining about lda.l)

It works in a very awkward way when I try to hit one of these with a shell; it's like the hitbox in that case is super off.

Seems to work as intended, although I did notice that killing the sprite with a spin jump doesn't make it display the cloud. That isn't a big enough issue to reject it, though; you just need to set $1540,x (I think a value of #$1B should be correct? it's been a while since I last checked).

Fixed the spinjump, lol.

it is really good made, it looks like a original game sprite.

Whoops, forgot about that.

@Erik557: It can chase Mario. After all, that's the behaviour of yellow koopas.

there is already one in the original game.
besides, how would it act like? I'd rather write a patch to replace the original one,but I don't know what to make it act like.

Can you make a Yellow Parakoopa?
