Kirby Mass Attack

[Jermungandr]

I added a few sheets to the previous post that I missed when I was initially writing it. If you are some sort of wizard and already saved all the files, you might wanna grab those ones on the tail end.

EDIT: Big Bloston, Big Mossy, Blipper, Bubble Fish, Cidory, Elecra, Hoppin, Rivahely, Vertical Jump Fish 2, and Tortletummy are all unused; Bad Portal, Dice, and Tokudice are used, but their sprites are incorrect, i.e. Bad Portal is supposed to be smaller and shaped like a door with the appropriate door design, and Dice and Tokudice are light-blue, not orange.

EDIT 2: King Tortletummy is just called Tortletummy (go figure), Skully General is called Skullseer, Blostons are called Bluckos, Heavy Blostons are called Big Bluckos, Icetons are called Ice Bluckos, Blizzaldon is called Freezy Rex, Loyal Skullies are called Skullions, Minicra and Mochicra are Jellifrizz and Big Jellifrizz, Zapfloofs are called Flickerfloofs (just change the other Flickerfloof to Cakefloof), Big Gear is called Great Gear, and is a boss, and Dragon Ferry is called Gondolus.

Big Bloston, Blipper, and Bubble Fish all appear in the game. I'll have to replay it to find the exact levels but I know I've seen each of them. I am fairly sure Rivahely is in the game at some point as well but not so sure on that one.

Tokudice's pallets I took care of. See previous post.

You are correct about the "younger" Tortletummy. I knew the enemy appeared twice in the game and when I saw two different sprites for him it was easy to assume that one was the one that appeared earlier in the game and the larger one was the one that appeared later. However I replayed through those levels recently and saw they were both actually the same sprites, just with a pallet swap. Which is a bit lamer if you ask me. But anyways yeah the younger Tortletummy needs to be moved to the unused sheets. Their "names" were due to the fact that they were listed in the ROM as "Manpuku" and "King Manpuku', so again, it was easy to assume if one was Tortletummy than the other would be King Tortletummy.

For the Bad Portal you are probably thinking of the Flying Portal from my previous post. Funny story about that, the Kirby Wiki got the name of the enemy from our sheet, but it's not actually the official name of that "enemy". Which makes things kind of confusing since that is the source of where we're mostly getting the names for these enemies. But yeah I think the "Bad Portal" sheet is actually a beta version.

As for the names of most of the sheets ... yeah there mostly just wasn't any information for them at the time. To be frank I'm not sure all of the names that appear on the wiki are 100% official.

my only real problem with Mass attack sprites is that the more traditional Kirby enemies aren't well represented. for gameplay,

This is actually one thing that many fans complained about but I actually absolutely love about this game!

See the thing about the plot for this game that most people don't notice is that it takes place on the opposite side of Popstar. So if you think of Popstar as a 2-dimensional star, the "Dream Land" that we're used to seeing would be lying on the top side, and the islands Kirby is visiting in this game are on the bottom. So basically it's like if Kirby lived in North America and was visiting Australia. I think it's an awesome little detail.

I think mechanics-wise the reason the wrote the plot that way was so they could get a large number of enemies with properties that would make them work better in a game that centered around Kirbies clinging to stuff rather than his normal methods. The usual enemies all pretty much have preset ways of acting and didn't allow for much versatility to make them work for these new interactions.

You misspelled "palette".

Yeah ... well ... your mom.
