Mini-head icons[edit]
There are sprites seen in the actual game, like in previous games. They are slightly different (outline is even along the entire sprite, Sonic's has his shoe(?) under his head). I believe they should be added, as well. PikaSamus (talk) 11:23, 8 October 2014 (EDT)
- Yeah there's two versions of the head icons, both of which are used in different places: these large ones, and the smaller ones you're talking about. I was debating whether to upload the small ones for two reasons:
- Arguably, they don't really have a use. We wouldn't be using them for things like tournament results while we have the large ones, and I wasn't really sure if any difference between the two sets was notable enough to demonstrate.
- They're distorted around the edges. Each of the images is 16px square, but the head itself is only 14 - and instead of a blank space around the edge to frame them, the edge is a copy of the pixels one row/column further towards center. So either I'd upload them as-is and they look weird, or I'd fix the "bleeding" effect to make them look right - which would involve editing 400+ images. Unless I can get XL to do this, I'm not currently inclined to do so without a good reason. Toomai Glittershine The Altruistic 12:14, 8 October 2014 (EDT)
Okay, so it's now possible for XL to upload the small head icons properly as I said had potential above. That said, I still don't really know what the point of doing so would be. In addition, we'd need to name them somehow distincetively (maybe just by adding a "Small" or "Mini" on the end?) and potentially have separate categories for them. Anyone care to discuss?

- Agreed that there's not really much of a purpose to doing so. I don't think it'd be worthwhile. Miles (talk) 14:17, 10 November 2014 (EST)
Wii U icons[edit]
According to the directs, the head icons are actually for the Wii U, not the 3DS. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is made in America 18:55, 26 October 2014 (EDT)
- It's possible both versions use the same files. It's also possible that the Wii U version doesn't use these, but higher-resolution versions instead. We don't know yet so I called them 3DS-only for now. Toomai Glittershine The Steppin' 19:04, 26 October 2014 (EDT)
- The Wii U version is out now. SeanWheeler (talk) 15:11, 25 November 2014 (EST)
- Indeed it is, and the Wii U version's icons look mostly the same as the 3DS ones - except for Pac-Man, who has his right arm instead of his left. There may be other minor differences, but that's one I saw immediately. The problem is, our current "Wii U head icons" are trash and should be deleted pronto. I think we should continue using these 3DS icons everywhere (even in Wii U contexts) for now, as the inconsistencies are minor. Toomai Glittershine The Incomperable 16:02, 25 November 2014 (EST)
