gonna try this mario stuff again
#21
All the tiles are quite well done (are the boxes really that thin when spinning? Big Grin). Good work on the platforms, switches, blocks, and pipes!

Regarding the Bullet Bill, very well done on the shape and shading! A few spots I could point could use a glimpse (maybe I can specify precisely the points of interest).
- The eye on image 3 seems a pixel high. Try adding a single layer of grey pixel beneath the iris (without interfering with the arm outline) to add shape and consistency. Three pixels should be sufficient.
- The eye on image 4 also seems a pixel high. Try adding a single layer of grey pixel beneath the iris (3 pixels are adequate) and add two pixels of black just below the iris to lower the eye level.
- The opposite arm on images 2, 3 and 4 seem low based on the current angle of Bullet Bill. Try moving the opposite arm upward a layer, and on image 4 two layers. On 3 and 4, an extra black pixel of elbow behind the arms can enhance the effect.
Good work on the cannons, that stretching effect is a nice touch.

Based on the newest version of Goomba, I spotted a few curiousities about it.
- Excellent detail on the head, but it seems to be pointing differently the direction Goomba is walking! I'm afraid it would run into a wall when it's head is tilted 90* like that.
- The head pointing closest towards us is using 3 frames with the same head design, where it's opposite (the head pointing farthest from us)uses one. It could help to balance these two heads, using two of each.
- The head in responce to the feet movement is two frames behind. As soon as Goombas foot leaves the ground, the face would start moving in the same direction.
- The foot seems to lift from the ground by placing its toe in the air while it's heel is still on the floor. That would be pretty difficult to do. The heel is usually the first to leave the ground, and midstep begins to arc forward. Alas, the heel is also the first to hit the ground.

Hopefully, I put it in a format that was understandable! ^^ Hope it helps!
