RTB, now you got me curious, how are the Bomberman sprites stored exactly?

They're stored in an 8BPP, 2-dimensional format, with the palettes located at the bottom of each chunk of sprites. Only GGD can view the sprites properly, because Tile Molester only has width increments by 8's and these sprites need specific widths.

Those sprites all show up under a specific width (20 pixels). However, once we go a bit lower in the file...

Now we see that a lot of the sprites are warped. When that happens, you need to adjust the width of the sprites from 24...

...to 16. Now a whole lot more are able to be ripped.

Ripping these sprites is a bit of a tedious process, because of the fact that the sprites all have varying widths that need to be set, and that each colour (White, black, red, blue, green and gold) all have a separate set of sprites, not just another palette. I'm willing to spend my time to rip the remaining sprites, though.

(Astal's sprites were stored in a similar manner, except it took me weeks to find the palettes...)
