Racing suits

Where exactly are you ripping these from? Are they from the Wii U game or the Switch one? If they're from the Switch one, they should be uploaded separately. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:15, November 26, 2023 (EST)

I have checked and it does appear that these are specifically from the Switch version. Kindly upload them as separate files, as they are different and from a different game. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:23, November 26, 2023 (EST)

Apologies, I was under the impression the previous uploads were simply poor in quality for whatever reason and that as there was no change in resolution they would be the same between the two games. However, upon checking the Wii U MK8 files for myself, I see that I was incorrect. I'll upload them separately under Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sprites and then have those appear on the Mii page. Sorry for not doing my due diligence (I had honestly wondered why nobody had updated them in 7 years), I'll try to avoid similar mistakes in the future.

Actually, what exactly should I do? Only have them appear in the 8 Deluxe gallery? I see that other updated sprites don't really appear outside there though I think it would be preferable to have them show up on the Mii page (as that is probably where people will go to find them), either by having them appear in place of the originals or something like splitting up the section into MK8 and 8 Deluxe if necessary.

When sprites are shared and have no resolution or compression differences, it's fine to have them in both the MK8 and MK8DX galleries. Otherwise, just have then in the respective gallery. As for the Mii gallery, having both games' while captioned for the respective game is probably the best to do there. And thank you for understanding. (For the record, RandomTalkingBush on The Spriter's Resource is one of the most reliable sprite rippers out there.) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:50, November 26, 2023 (EST)

I'm familiar with his work, I was moreso thinking the uploader downloaded a compressed version of the sheet or something haha. Anyway, sorry for not being more specific, but I was referring to the Mii page itself rather than the gallery. The shared section between Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe features these images, so would it be alright if I had it show the 8 Deluxe versions of them despite it being shared between both games? Though about the Mii gallery page, I notice it doesn't have a sprite section as of yet, so is that something I should create? And I should be thanking you, I appreciate the help.
