Because having to download an image manually on a sprite/graphics forum gets pretty fucking ridiculous when every newbie does it.
And give credit for that donkey kong sprite already.
ONE MORE THING JACKIE CHAN, that's not subpixeling. Subpixeling is where you make your sprites to take advantage of screen construction, using the individual color portions as pixels, manipulating thier brightness to make it seem higher resolution than it really is. Blown up, it looks like strange anti-aliasing, but rendered on the proper screen (LCD, CRT and other monitor types have special arrangements of pixels, so it changes between type) it looks much softer and more detailed.
