A great in-depth dissection of how Mario 2 (US) stores levels. It's a lot more complicated then a simple tilemap, and it's got some wild things in there like "doors take 4 bytes before level 6-2, then 5 bytes afterwards"
The truth about age verification is, the only reason nobody is silent about it and is worried about privacy is there's no carrot other than "look at porn lol".
VRC+ Age Verification was a success because everyone would show their ID to avoid dealing with bouncers or quest kiddies trying to imitate packgod with a crasher avatar and smoke alarm chirp and the background ambience of hood shit.

Fixed the animation with the red shield sprites too, but the attack animation still shows the green shield.
