If you keep at least one Petit Goblin alive in the final section of the stage, once the birds start appearing all Fan Fiends will fail to spawn.

Brief technical explanation: instead of loading a specific set of enemy graphics per-screen like the NES games do, Wily Wars has a dynamic loading system where sprite sets are loaded on the fly as enemies spawn in. In rare cases, it's possible to overload this system and prevent additional enemies from spawning. Here, the Petit Goblins are part of the Goblins' (red square platforms from earlier in the stage) sprite data which is quite big, so by keeping them alive and forcing it to be loaded, there is not enough memory to load the remaining two enemies at the same time (birds and fan fiends). The bird data is kept loaded since the main bird object is not the bird itself but an invisible spawner that is always present, so the fan fiends will never be able to load and properly spawn.

i've noticed this glitch occasionally, but instead the fan fiends despawn if there are enough birds on screen, even if they were already spawned. it's a pretty funny oversight.

That's a separate issue, where the game has a general hard limit of how many objects can be active at once (regardless of type and data loaded). Good old retro progamming.

Funnily enough this doesn't happen in the NES version. There all the enemies will just chill together without issues.

@@woodfrog9614 i think what he means by that is that you can despawn the airfans just by spawning and despawning them by letting them move in and out of view

Interesting stuff. Do you think the original Wily Wars could get refurbished?

from my knowledge, there is a fan made remake being developed, i don't know if it's going to be homebrew or romhack, but it is something edit: what he said down there

There is an ongoing romhack project called "Wily Wars Mega Edition" that's trying to improve Wily Wars. Don't know what the current progress is but google is your friend.

Got any plans for SAGE 23?
@woodfrog9614 Жыл бұрын
Lol you got the most random way of contacting me. But no, nothing more for SAGE, last year's demo was enough to show what the game is about. From now on it'll be just the episodic releases.
