Thanks for the guide! Very helpful!

Okay then, how do I tell it is indexed, because all the textures I have exported have never shown that they are indexed.

Also, why are their black and white "1"s in the background of Mario's Body textures?

I've noticed that. That is the weirdest thing I have seen in a character texture.

Okay. If CMPRs have only one transparent color, wouldn't changing everything to that color make it transparent or no?

Only for certain characters.  Mario and Meta Knight will not work, but Zelda and Ganondorf will work.
