Trying to make Mario transparent is a waste of time.  Picano tried it himself, but Mario appeared completely black instead.  Only his eye iris textures can be transparent last I checked.

Regarding +1 and +2 textures, there's really no difference between the two; they both require an indexed palette.

Actually, picano, did you completely make mario transparent, because when you save a file thats 100% transparent without atleast 1 pixel of hard color, photoshop will save it as black/white (depends on what photoshop you have). You should try again with atleast 1 hard pixel, if you have not already done so.

GIMP all the way for me. --- It doesn't suffer from that glitch.

Also, there is a hatless Mario code... might just suggest that for use with the texture.

It's also incredibly easy to do with PSA.
