What's new since v0.0.4

  • Many more HD textures. Props, foliage, Rainbow Road neon signs, Thwomps, piranha plants, crabs, snowmen, bananas and more are matched to the Reloaded pack and checked against the original pixels. Shells, the battle balloon and the item-hit explosion are rebuilt frame by frame. Props with no name match are found by texel checksum (DK Jungle trees and boat sign, Koopa Troopa Beach palms, the locomotive, the chain chomp, Lakitu's ice). 532 of 571 images now have 2x/4x versions.
  • Smooth Thwomp faces in 2x/4x (they were forced to nearest filtering); 1x keeps the original pixel look.
  • Road patches fixed in 2x/4x on Mario Raceway and Royal Raceway: the road and finish-line textures take their shading back from the original, so the overlaid road pieces around the lane dashes match the road.
  • The graphics QC check now fails if any texture uses nearest filtering in an HD preset.
  • Updated race screenshots.
