Norimaro Sprites/Sounds (Includes Unused Material!)

I recently ripped all of Norimaro's sprites and sounds, including unused ones. Archive is available here.

The main folder contains all of the base sprites. Each individual sprite pointer was only ripped once, so you'll need to consult the original game to see where sprites are reused between animations. The axis should be placed at coordinates X: 192 Y: 168.

The portrait folder contains both of his large portraits, the select screen/victory screen one, and the VS screen/hyper cut-in one. Interestingly, the latter is full body, all the way down to his feet.

The sounds folder contains all of his voice clips, ripped from the arcade version. It's possible that the home ports might have higher-quality versions, but I have yet to check.

The separates folder contains the separate parts of each base sprite that consisted of multiple layers or palettes. A lot of them are redundant due to the fact that I ripped them on a per-base-sprite-per-part basis even though many parts are seemingly used across multiple base sprites. I was mostly doing this for practice, so I wanted to be thorough. Perhaps the most useful thing you'll find here is a blank version of the thought cloud from the unused nosebleed animation, so you can add more characters for Norimaro to fantasize about if you're so inclined.

The pal folder contains images depicting each of the individual 16-color palettes used across all of the included sprites (except for the large portraits... unfortunately I forgot to capture theirs), indexes all in their original order. If you're working in in SFFv2, you could use these in conjunction with the sprites in the separates folder to keep things organized and avoid large, cluttered palettes.

As an aside, there are several sprites not included at all in the final game that were featured in a TV special documenting Normaro's creation. If any spriters out there are willing to try and recreate these, I can provide screenshots, which you could use in conjunction with these final rips as reference. I'd greatly appreciate it!
