Hey all, did you miss me? ...No? Oh, well I'm here once again anyways, with a nice big batch of updates for you all to enjoy, so let's not waste any time and jump right into it!

This week, Montz_the_Man holds the title for most sheets uploaded this week with an impressive 147 rips from Pokemon Art Academy. Not to be outdone, Biggest_Chungus continues to provide us with rips for that Okuyasu-San mobile game. Well done both of you for your staggeringly large number of submissions!

As I'm sure you're all aware, April 1st came and went not too long ago, and the Among Us devs decided to grace our world with Horse Amogus. These have been ripped for posterity by DogToon64. Speaking of April 1st-related cool stuff, someone released a mod for Sonic Generations that lets you play as Mario from SM64. But I'm not just talking about a reskin or anything, I mean they injected the character, physics and all, into the game. While most stages are near-impossible to complete, it's still an amazing accomplishment and I'd highly recommend you check it out sometime.

This week's customs bring us some very nice contributions. Particular stand-outs are Sonicfan32's Boomer the Turtle sheet being updated with corkscrew sprites, among other things, and Izzi Rae's Mario Movie-inspires SMW customs, particularly their Yoshi custom. I'm also partial to the SMAS bootleg sprites by Devy, which came from a Chip 'n Dale bootleg game of all things.

As always, this is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Plenty more wonderful submissions to enjoy, so give 'em a look over when you've got the chance!
Now normally I'd sign off, but I've decided to try something a little different by ending this update off with what I'd like to all "MisterMike's Spriting Tip of the Week", where I give you all a quick and easy tip to make your submissions just a little bit better.

Today's tip is a small one: When writing a title for your submission, try using an Ampersand in place of the word "and". An Ampersand, by the way, is the "&" symbol. While small, using this can make your submission title look more neat and tidy. Plus, it's just an adorable little symbol.

Alright, see you all next time, and keep up the great work!
