Why would you be running around without rings? You don't die instantly from spikes, it makes you lose your rings. At least watch a few minutes of a youtube video before pretending you know the game.

Go bait another thread you fucking incel. I'm 38. People can forget the name of minor characters from a sequel 30+ years ago.

You literally solder a resistor to the motherboard, or you can use the enio which hides under the gray cover if you're an idiot who can't be bothered to learn to solder.

I understand you could make the sprites and they don't take up THAT much room. From the dev studio's standpoint it makes sense to limit file size and man hours put into making sprites. It might be lazy for 16 bit, but I think it was just a carry over from how it was always done. I mean, if children didn't care, why spend the money on it.

Now if you are your own game dev doing a passion project, then yeah, sprites for days for every little thing. If you're in the industry in the 90s nobody cared about that shit, it was about saving money and space.

Pic unrelated to you anon, just carrying on the theme of sanic reactions.
