Description This is a collection of custom made sprites of every major Nintendo character from every major NES game ever released. The sprites appear in order of each game's release date, and each color is ripped directly from the game itself. All "Good" guys are facing right; all "Bad" guys toward the left.

Ridley (Metroid) and Nightmare (Kirby's Adventure) are the only two characters not included. I'll make a version with them in the future, I just wanted to release this now because I was getting impatient, haha.

This was a year long project, stirred up by a combination of boredom and curiosity. I love classic Nintendo games (and Nintendo in general), and I wanted to see what it would look like if each character had an updated, modern style, while still retaining a retro feeling.

Characters include: Mario, Pauline, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Luigi, Wild Gunman, Dog, Gangster, Police Man, Stanley, Tamagon, Devil, Urban Champion, Bubbles, Excite Biker, Balloon Fighter, Ice Climber, Spike, R.O.B., Toad, Peach, Bowser, Mach Rider, Link, Zelda, Ganon, Takamaru, Samus, Pit, Palutena, Medusa, Dark Link, Donbe, Hikari, Little Mac, Super Macho Man, Mr. Dream, Soldier, Wart, Koopaling, Ninten, Ana, Loid, Teddy, Marth, Mike Jones, Alm, Celica, Kirby, King Dedede, Metaknight, Sakupon, Wario

That shirtless looking dude of Hogan's Alley (after the dog and the 2 sprites of the curly hair dude with the brown jacket of Hogan's Alley) isn't shirtless, he's actually wearing a leather manilla jacket ,but he does look like he's shirtless, sorry to spoil.

This is the original "workshop" file. It includes all these NES sprites as well as unreleased work for the same project.

It's in .PNG, so simply copy/pasting it somewhere will give you the uncorrupted sprites.

No Dr. Mario?

I guess the thinking back then was, this was to represent main entries/spin-offs in the series and not low scale puzzle games. If I were to do this again I'd definitely include him as an alt Mario costume.

You might notice I forgot Yoshi from Yoshi's Cookie too.

LoZ2 Zelda looks like modern Pauline.
Also it's hard to tell, but Marth is facing right, before anybody asks.
Peach, Zelda, and SamusΒ are the only female characters to have gotten through a change in colors, as Pauline, Nana (Ice Climber), Palutena, Hikari, Wendy, Ana, and Celica have only one color scheme (Peach has three, Zelda has four, and Samus has two).
Otherwise, this is pretty neat.

most of these are based off of gregarlink10.deviantart.com 's sprites

Not exactly. Many of them definitely are, but the majority are actually modeled directly off of assets from the Jump Ultimate Stars series. Coincidentally, IIRC gregarlink10 does the exact same thing (only way better), hence why these art styles appear so similar.
