Hi there, thanks for the critic you've made some interesting observations, some of which I'll have to correct when I re-lease chapter 12 as a full episode.

Some of those are animation problems such as Greens axe appearing in front of the fight, Green was supposed to be in front of the fight which is why I put his axe there, but I neglected to check where his feet where during his placement.

Mask/Yoshi's eyes being missing was actually intentional as I wanted Yoshi to 'evolve' the longer he wears the Mask and that's why he gets bigger and bigger. For his second form I wanted him to look like he's lost some perspective, in this case he sees everything, including Peaches castle as edible food and wants to eat it, and the best way to show loss of perspective is to reduce the pupils. His final transformation will have even more changes. In fact, in part 2 I might also lose the spikes on his tail as they're useless and just a pain to keep drawing.

As for Theta being colour blind I think that was a scripting mistake. Looking back at the script it was supposed to be Beta's line rather than Thetas and somewhere along the line they were mixed up. But lets see if I can creatively get myself out of this hole I've dug myself.

Colour blind people can't see colour, but they can see shades of grey that represent colour (TV producers sometimes use this to make a black and white picture coloured) Theta has a green shell while Alpha and Beta have red and blue, and to make sure Theta always gets the right shell Theta -or someone he knew- has trained his brain to recognise the shade that means green as its the only colour that's really important to him, and since Theta is the kind of Koopa who spends a lot of time in hospital recovering from an injury he's likely seen some ill Koopas change colour to 'green' one he matches to his shell. So when he sees Green Thunder he knows his face is green, but also thinks that it likely means he's sick.

So Theta knows the colour Green at least because its useful for him to find his own stuff, anything that's a different shade of grey he just knows isn't his.

But again, thanks for pointing out some errors I've made and I'll be correcting them in the full release of chapter 12 later.

Cheers
