This is a task to IDENTIFY the set of graphics out there that are too similar to Mario and need to be replaced.

After they are identified, a series of tasks such as Issue #102 can be opened up. I don't think we should work the actual replacements of images through this task because there will probably be a very large number.

We'll also need to decide what constitutes being "too close" to Mario versus what constitutes "fair use". Not everything that seems a bit similar necessarily needs to be replaced, though we will want this game to have its own look and feel.

We probably have identified about everything to be replaced now, and there is nothing to stop us from opening new tickets if we still find something later. I am closing this.

I'm definitely looking forward to the new turtle boss replacement :)

Yes, sorry for the long delay on this. I'm just swamped lately, especially with school holidays here, but I haven't forgotten about it!
