Ridge's WIP M&L:BIS Sheets

[Ridge Troopa]

Looks like he's looking down at someone below him and having a dialogue. One idea would be for the MechaKoopa's cycle. Maybe when it speeds up there's a little spark/puff of smoke and the pupils get smaller, then it all goes back to normal in the regular cycle?

Also, please let that Blooper's name be Dr. Calimari. Please.

Yes, that's exactly what Bowser is doing, though the main emphasis was the new Clown Car.
Not a bad idea for Mecha-Koopa, I'll have to consider it though. The original intent of that idle quirk was to look more like an actual windup toy jittering, not as if he's breaking down.

Actually... his name's Bloopregard.

It be better not to post them if you don't want people to use them/steal them. Maybe PM them to people you know won't repost or use.
If you post them its all a matter of time before someone claims to be you on another site or even tries using them for their own project...

While that's somewhat true, how else am I supposed to show progress on the game if there's no engine? Even if there were a demo of sorts, people would still try to rip sprites. I can't go without critique.

Is there a solution to this that I'm not thinking of?

Beautiful, but I have an issue with the fancy Blooper. You added a band of AA across the top of his hat, and I'm pretty sure M&L style doesn't band across flat lines.

HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ME, THE ALMIGHTY M&L KING?

It's in style, don't worry. Here are a few examples:
