There's some graphics in this game I'm unsure about so I'll ask about them here.

Question 1: How do these handshake graphics fit together?


To the left is what YY-CHR shows. To the right is my attempt at assembling them based on how they looked on The Nekketsu Typhoon (archived since it's not around anymore). As you can see, Kunio's head in the bottom graphic doesn't quite line up properly (unless the NES is capable of moving the tiles one pixel to the left?).

These handshake graphics can fit together many ways. Riki and Kunio's heads (or any of those boss heads at the top really) can fit on either body. Any of those legs graphics in the top-left corner can fit. And one of the bodies even needs to be flipped in order to face the other. I dunno what to do with this.



Question 2: Does anyone recall seeing Riki/Kunio/Alex/Ryan do this in a shop? ...Or at all?




Question 3: This sign. What does it say?


I noticed it was in the English versions and hasn't been translated.



Question 4: What is this thing?


It was removed from the Japanese version of the game. It is found with the graphics for Sherman Park and the area just outside Sherman Park.

Dunno about the rest of these, but...

...this looks like a trashcan or an ashtray. Since it was intended for a park, those make sense, too...

Can you get me a better shot of the Japanese sign? It looks like katakana and I could probably translate it if it were a bit more readable. If Glitterberri is around she might could get it.

Re: the handshake sprites, NES sprites are by no means locked to a grid, so they could very well have shifted his head by one pixel. Lots of games did this to save space.

Sorry, it's a very tiny sprite so that's about as good as it gets.

As for the handshake graphics, I might just note on the page that they may not be assembled as intended.

Considering the size, I'm going to assume the artist intended it to be read as れいほう ("reihou") rather than れいはう ("reihau"). If my assumption is correct, then the translation depends on context.

Reiho/Reihō is the name of a school in the Nekketsu universe. I think it's the school you go to at the end of this game actually. So that's probably it, thanks!

Edit: Yeah, a bigger and more legible sign appears outside the school gates in the Japanese version.

It actually looks like a wall podium thingy to me. Like the columns that would appear at a section of a wall that's opened for people to pass through, or where a wall has a staircase to climb up (like if the wall is against a hill side.

Hmm. Well there are similar-looking things outside the entrance to the park.

That animation is used on the password screen if you try to put an apostrophe on a blank space. The Fami version does the same thing if you try putting a ten-ten or maru on a blank space.

Hey, it's Skrybe. Thanks for the info! Seems bizarre they would make a graphic just for the off chance someone would do that.
