Willow (Arcade)

This Willow is the other Capcom game based on the 1988 film based on the tree, this one's an action-platformer.

Unused Graphics#

An unused item that looks like an acorn with a "B" on it. So, uh, bonus points?

Behold two frames of bowing goodness Hair animation!
The lesser known Scheming Willow It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Madmartigan

Graphics for Willow and Madmartigan bowing and looking angry.
The art style and animations suggest they were meant for the pre-Stage 5 character select screen, which instead simply reuses both characters' single idle frames in the actual game.
Presumably, when a character was picked, they would bow, and the other character would look at him angrily.

Nothing here Ignore me

Two 16x16 and 32x32 tiles used as filler. アキ, "aki", in this case would translate as "empty".

no chr No Chr NO CHR!!

More filler tiles, though this time there's a third 8x8 tile. And they don't need to be translated.

What's that W for?

Graphics for every tile type in the game, most likely used in a level editor.

A 32x32 cursor. It curses.
