Description
This is the last major entry of my month-long spriting marathon: the HUD for the New Challenge Stages featured in Kirby's Dream Collection.

In contrast to the Challenge Stages in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, the UI elements are significantly different. The health bar is longer, the portrait has a star around it, the score/time reading is more condensed—et cetera. Also, the HUD has different palettes depending on the current Challenge Stage.

It's a pretty neat touch on HAL's part, I have to admit, though it definitely makes my job harder with how much more work it puts on me. After this, I might try to sprite an interpretation of Forgotten Land's HUD—but for now, I think this is good enough.
