Astal Sprites

[joystickjunki3]

This is half "Off-Topic" and half "Gaming."

Can anyone do me a favor and pull up a sprite rip for the SEGA Saturn game Astal? Somewhere there's a sprite of a crazy looking Mario and I can't find the image I'm looking for.

I'm trying to prove to my friend Nick that it's true.

Just looked up Astal, and saw that it was a Sega game. If there was a Mario sprite, it was a lookalike and possible parody, or you just saw wrong.

I'll see if I can find anything, but from the looks of it the game wasn't so hot, so I wouldn't get your hopes up...

EDIT: Well, I couldn't find the picture itself, but this should be proof enough. Seems you were right, and it wasn't even a parody!

...Sprite rip?
Sounds illegal.
Why not just a screenshot?

Nah, sprite rips aren't illegal. There are tons of sites that host ripped sprites. People aren't illegally modifying games or making money off of the sprites, so it's perfectly fine.

Thanks for the effort, that's all I was able to bring up too.

Nope. Just each frame of a sprite's animation is brought up into an image. And the mario sprite doesn't appear through normal gameplay.

[edit] Damn, ninja'd.

Positive. It was probably a test sprite, but it's there. Astal is an old SEGA Saturn game that I loved very much.

I honestly hate doing this, and I completely understand if I get reprimanded for it (please don't ban me), but I'm praying someone has the answer to my problem, so...
