I still don’t really get what you mean by
 
“Not completely true, it’s 5 per “character”(that’s counting transparency) but you can have a signal “sprite” made of 2 “characters””
 
In response to that NES can only handle 4 colors per sprite. Either it can handle 4 colors including transparency or 7 colors if you nest two sprites.

No kidding eh?

You just now, in all three of the comments there, said what I did back with the image….

Ah, you’re saying there are 5 colors in total. That would be correct.

“Technically, on the NES, each sprite uses one of four palettes (three colours per palette) and can be up to 8x16 pixels in size. Mega Man is constructed using multiple sprites. They use two palettes: one for his body (blue, light blue, and black) and one for his face (peach, white, and black).
 
So, they draw his head (without a face) and body using several sprites. On top of those sprites, they draw his face using a sprite or two. Thus, it looks like more than three colours, but they’re actually layering multiple sprites with different palettes.”

Then have have combined more than 2 sprites. A NES sprite always has 4 colors including transparency.

Hey, who wants mushroom soup?

One transparent is in all sprites, but not in backgound, they also have five in groups.

@Derpstar  
No it is, I said it was five counting the transparency, Megaman’s body is black, blue, light blue, and transparent(x2), the face is white, black, tan, and transparent(x2).

Princess Celestia is probably being held captive in World 8-4.
 
Then after that you have to play through the whole game again (only with faster-moving enemies, and buzzy beetles replacing goombas making it a li’l harder) in order to rescue Luna.

Still not true. It really is 4 colors per sprite, usually represented by red, white, blue and black.

peach was never in any danger
 
its all a conspiracy to overthrow a legitimate ruler and assert her tyranny

Then she bucked Toad out of the way.

Not completely true, it’s 5 per “character”(that’s counting transparency) but you can have a signal “sprite” made of 2 “characters”.  
Case in point, Megaman is cut into body and face.  

@HelementOfArmory
 
You can easily just nest two sprites to get 6 colors per sprite. It’s how the bosses are done in the megaman games.

Who said anything about the princess?

 

 
Seems funny. Adventure ponies technically don’t fit into 8 bit as the NES can only handle four colors including transparency for a sprite
 
The more you know!

Fuck you, Toad.
