A little later than I’d planned, here’s the first newness for 2026!
– Mario series: added SMB2 select screen wait poses for Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach (80s and later design), and Toad. Tried to make them look even more like the classic art (usually by Yoichi Kotabe) while fitting the earlier sprites I’d made.
– Valis: An all-new Yuko (or Yuuko) sprite with a pose mostly based on older artwork.
– Illmosis: Nutroll gets a new sprite that reworks the base used for the sign-holding sprites from 2025, and the guards from the Inborn Correctional Institute (or Inborn Containment Institute) get an updated design and two uniform colors.
– Mega Man: a sprite of Mega Man looking at the camera with his arms down. Honestly, it’s the 2024 test sprite from when I tried to start my own style of Mega Man sprites that still kept the MvC flavor, I just didn’t think it had any use until now.
All new custom sprites were added to the GFX Generators, which I used to make the screenshots for this update. Also added was the Super Mario Bros. 2 select screen, where you can make up your own lineups!
It’s been kind of a rough month so far, so I’ve got some unfinished stuff that was supposed to go in this update, and either it’ll be added later or I’ll make a separate small update!

Fake Screenshots: the fighter-sized Super Mario Bros. 2 select screen!
GFX Generator: Select Player: An offshoot of the main fighter-sized generator that focuses on a few specific “Select Player” screenstyles like the new Super Mario Bros 2. screen and groups together a few suitable facing-the-camera sprites in “Select Screen – SMB2 – ” character categories right at the top (including a few who are comically too tall). If enough of you let me know that you like this offshoot and the SMB2 select stage, I’ll do more for it!
edit January 28, 2025: I’m on UpScrolled now, but it’s still app-only, so I won’t be active on there as much for now. But I’m posting a link to my first postt there so people know it’s really me.
Kickstarter – Pizza Kidd: If you hang out in pixel or beat ’em up circles online, you may have seen previews and WIP shots and footage of the Pizza Kidd project over the years, so now it’s the fans’ turn to get a slice of the action:
