I was sad there was no pixel sprite of Susie since her game came out after Triple Deluxe where we got a lot of cool pixel sprites for the key chains. So, I went in to make my own take on it, and edited the previous sprites a little with a color palette from Kirby Dreamland 2.
Well... I say Kirby Dreamland 2, but if I went fully with it they would all look like Magolor at the bottom. Needless to say HAL took some creative liberties when they chose the colors, but I tried to follow them for Susie.
Some edits to the original sprites: Added Taranza's fangs and 'cleaned' it so his upper eyes are more visible. Flipped Magolor's lower half so he is looking fully right instead of over his shoulder. Eye shines for everyone!
Then finally here were the end results!
I tried to follow the Kirby Super Star SNES color palette which I think turned out pretty well. Although, I am sure there are mistakes in shading and size. Since the sprites seem to be inspired by the NES/Gameboy sprites? Not really sure...
Fun Fact: Looking at most partner/enemy characters in Super Star most have ~15 colors for their palette. Since it was on the SNES some (like Grizzo) almost have the full gradient for a color in their sprite.
In the extra section are just a few other sprites including a certain someone. I mainly just wanted to show these without making an entirely different post and show my thinking process: hence this essay like rambles here in between images.
~After this are the transparent enlarged sprites~
May work on a few more sprites to post, here is a little preview~
