Mauru

Mauru (pronounced 'ma-roo') is a character who is famous to any Neo*Geo fan. One of the stars of the game Waku Waku 7, he is an inspired piece of character design. Aside from that, the point of this project was a test for my sprite multiplexor. Neo*Geo beat-em-ups are famous for having large, colourful characters, something sadly lacking in the NGPC fighting games. Mauru was a test to see if the NGPC could do better, and it turns out it can.

As it is, it works brilliantly on the emulators, but does tend to break up slightly on the real NGPC. I've got a fair idea of how to improve it; I've just never got around to it.
