Not this again...

Trying to sprite Pikmin in this style (or any style other than HD) would be practically suicide.

Duly noted, and CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. I've had experince in that style, and trust me, it ain't suicide once you know proper scaling. (Mino Magnus is the biggest non-screenhugger boss, Childre Inarbitta is the smallest)

Before anyone asks, the definition of screenhugger is a type of boss that takes up half the screen (Example: Being attached to one of the sides of the TV screen), usually a final boss.
