The baserom doesn't insert any custom sprites beyond what is needed, but it has extended a bunch of vanilla sprites to bring new functionality to the game.
Looking for information on how to add or remove sprites? Check out the Basics page.

Additional Global Sprites
A couple new sprites have been patched into the baserom in unused vanilla sprite slots for ease of access.
| # | Sprite | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | Puff of Smoke | Just a puff of smoke. Used by the sprite killer block. |
| 85 | Poison Mushroom | Mushroom that behaves like a power-up mushroom but is dangerous. |
Sprite Extra Bit Settings
A number of vanilla sprites have been "enhanced" to have their behaviour changed or extended by setting the extra bit in Lunar Magic.
| # | Sprite | Extra Bit Clear (0) | Extra Bit Set (1) |
|---|---|---|---|

Changing A Sprite's Extra Bits
To insert a sprite with an extra bit setting either use the "Edit → Insert manual..." menu action or press the Insert key while in Lunar Magic's Sprite editing mode. Alternatively, you can place a sprite and Alt + Right-Click on the sprite to show the "Modify Sprite Manual (in hex)" window.
However, the baserom has provided some metadata files so these variants are visible in the "Add Sprites Window" under "Custom Collections of Sprites".
