MM7 was made by he chore team, many of which had worked on MM2

The problem isn't 'the size of the main sprite', the problem is the low FOV. This doesn't come from the 'main sprite', it comes from everything.

My guess is they wanted to make him more detailed since it's "16 bit".

Either way, it's not a problem all the time, only in some key places, and it stops being a problem once you've played the game a couple times, then it starts to become really fun.

Does anyone know the trick/timing so that Magma Man gets hit twice by a single Tornado shot ?
Afaik it happens 1 time out of 100 and it might even be a glitch...

Yeah I love all the secret little things in MM7, it has an impressive ammount of polish for what is said to be the classic MM with the shortest dev time.... although I have a hard time to believe that "3 months" quote.

It feels different. Animation are more complicated and it just doesn't feel the same, it's not as fast and responsive... personally I don't have a problem with it but apparently that's a major complain for a lot of people.
There is also the focus on non platforming gimmicks like the snowboard... though MM5 started that trend with the jetski segment.

I love MM8, and especially the Japanese Saturn version, which is the only one with small different enemy placement, mostly having more enemies in some areas.
