if you share the project, i can copy the sprites into makecode. I don’t mind spending time copying pixel art.

I want the colors to be like gameboy advance just like the one you have shared me the image of.

By the way, there is a problem in the project where The small mario sprite can hit question blocks but the racoon and big mario can’t. I have been trying to fix that problem for over 2 years but the code messes with my mind. Also, can we get the koopa to hit the block?

I would be really grateful if someone helps me in this.

@viny1234 the most consistent way to manage sprites I found is using a hitbox instead of a sprite, the collision would be the same throughout the animations. Basically, add all the movement script to a hitbox and add the invisible property to it, and make the sprite’s position always the hitbox’s position in the game update section. Also make the sprite ghost. However, with this, you will have to code your own state machine for the animations, because the grey animation exension won’t work.

probably not gonna help but a great way to prevent animation-collision glitches especially with tilemaps is to create a separate hitbox sprite and make a display sprite which goes on top of the hitbox sprite

hey there. can i help you work on this as well? I got semisolid platforms working and I cleaned up some unnecessary code regarding power ups. I now have a forever loop set up so that the game knows what animations to perform when the power up variable reaches a specific number. I’m currently working on fixing mario and goomba interaction, as a powered up mario instakills goombas by running into them. I also have two questions: 1. How come there are random spots with walls on the map? 2. Is there any way to progress to the next level? if not, I can code this in if you’d like. Here’s my version with semisolid platforms and cleaned up code:

That’s so so much better

I was working on semisolid platforms since the previous day and couldn’t get it to work.

I was releasing a new update with better textures and now i’ll use this instead of my old project.

Okay so I have started working on fixing the goombas and I have made some legitimate progress. Currently, normal mario and big mario kill a goomba by jumping on it and the take damage from running into it. Super leaf mario can kill goombas but cannot recieve damage, and fireball mario can deal and recieve dameg with goombas. It seems like there are some hitbox issues especially with super leaf mario. Also I added an immunity phase like in other mario games so that when mario takes damage, he is immune temporarily. A side effect of this is that it seems my code does not allow mario to deal damage during this time period as well. If anyone could take a look at that, it would be most appreciated. Also, i noticed a small issue regarding my earlier edit to the semisolid platform in which the koopa is slightly lower and has clipped into the semisolid wall. here’s the link, feel free to take a look and let me know what you think!

Ok, so, here’s the gameplan:

First of all I work on a segmented update on the game

Update 1 - Incomplete test 1 (Fixes random bugs and glitches, improving the aesthetics, physics) (Released)

Update 2 - Incomplete test 2 (Improves the art style and textures) (Incoming)

Update 3- Incomplete test 3 (Work on making the levels, world map, the title screen) (Incoming)

Update 4 - Incomplete test 4 (Working on sounds, effects, and music) (Incoming)

Update 5 - Incomplete test 5 (One final check and go through and fixes of bugs) (Incoming)

Now we combine these updates and turn them into….Release 1.0
