[[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/388579 Not Another Sprite Fight]] (commonly referred to by its acronym NASF) is a Flash animation created by (somewhat) famous sprite animator [[http://short-factor.newgrounds.com/ Mr Lange]] (Or his alias at the time of development, Short Factor) in 2007. As the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin title suggests]], it is a sprite animation about sprites fighting.

''Oh please, not ''another'' sprite fight...''

The premise of NASF is simple. It is a crossover battle of various video game icons. Before NASF, the idea was strong and of interest, but hadn't been explored with much depth or seriousness. Some sprite animations existed that were crossovers, but were usually very specific to a couple series and intimately tied to a storyline, such as Sonic's Quest for Power, a crossover of Sonic and Mega Man X. NASF however has no real storyline or plot motives, and combines several significant series and their titular characters in a more purely fighting oriented action animation. It is an exercise in how these characters and their unique abilities would fare against each other, playing with, re-imagining and expanding on existing concepts, such as showing Link's power over time and Kirby's copy ability in more descriptive visuals and events. NASF is widely received positively, even by many who are generally opposed to sprite animations.

While the animation is not spectacular (In fact, the creator has stated on multiple occasions that he despises it) it has gained popularity almost comparable with ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'' (In fact, Lange has actually taught Alvin some of what he knows)

A sequel is being planned, however Mr Lange is trying to make it as good as he possibly can and currently has not actually started animating the latest version yet ([[DevelopmentHell He has made quite a few attempts but scrapped each one]]). However, a lot of content is being developed in advance before the actual animation process can begin.

A remake, named NASF DX, has also been announced which will not only feature improved animation, sound and graphics, but will essentially exist as reboot with it's own pseudo story which will tie directly into NASF 2 and have it's own unique island in the vein of the Sonic the Hedgehog games. Currently, there are no details on its development or release date. However, a kind of proof of concept can be seen in Lange's [[https://youtu.be/vBjxdjPDVYM?t=136 Helix Theory Video.]]

An enhanced quality version of the original with a deleted scene featuring Samus has been uploaded to Website/YouTube, with the title [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiXaGcpDvXI Not Another Sprite Fight - Special Edition.]]

Furthermore, a stinger-like animation was made by Lange as a birthday present for [[https://www.youtube.com/user/DestructionSeries Destruction Series]], which you can check out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsxLZ8Pi7s here.]]
----
!!This series has examples of:

* BadassBoast: Sonic, as the most talkative of all [[HeroicMime the fighters]] gets one.
-->'''Sonic:''' [[VideoGame/SonicRiders I'll show you what true speed REALLY is!]]
* BadassNormal: Given the above and considering the rest of the cast fights with super powers, Mario is this.
* BaitAndSwitch: Kirby tries to suck up one of his three opponents (Link, Mario, Mega Man). Link's in front of the others, who are holding on for dear life, and it looks like he's going to be sucked up... then Mega Man lets go.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** Right after Mario knocks Sonic off the plane, Shadow uses Chaos Control to save him.
** Luigi shows up and takes out Zero, who was whooping Sonic, Mario, Link and Kirby's asses.
* BreakTheBadass: Happens when Sonic enters and delivers a kick to Mario's face.
* ChekhovsGunman: Luigi.
* CoolPlane: Tails shows up in the Tornado for Mario and Sonic to fight on.
* {{Crossover}}: Between ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'', ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', ''VideoGame/{{Ristar}}'', ''Franchise/MegaMan'' (both classic and X), and ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. DX throws ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' into the mix.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Luigi.
* DeusExMachina: If Luigi hadn't shown up, Zero would've probably taken everybody out.
* DynamicEntry: Most of the characters do this when they are introduced. The biggest is probably Sonic's, in which he runs past the screen in a blur a couple of times and kicks Mario in the face.
* EnemyMine: Averted. Even after Eggman shows up with a shitton of Buzz Bombers, the fighters are ''still'' fighting each other instead of him.
* FearfulSymmetry: After Kirby copies Sonic.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: With the exception of fireballs, the bulk of Mario's power is basic hand to hand combat.
* TheJuggernaut:
** Mario.
** And Zero.
* HeroicSecondWind: Sonic, at the very end, as he escapes the Defeated portal.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Kirby accidentally bumps into an item block, giving Mario a super mushroom, making him even more unstoppable. He uses this power to defeat Link.
* OhCrap: Basically, all the time through the whole movie, especially during character entrances.
* PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: Averted. Mr Lange's motto is "Don't subscribe."
* PowerCopying: Kirby, but surprisingly not Mega Man. And it actually shows how Kirby's power copying works. Though, Mega Man's power copying not being used makes sense... because he copies the powers of other robots.
* SuperSpeed: [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Guess who]]. And he's a lot faster than he is in the games. Most of his time onscreen, he's just a blur. Doesn't stop Mario from keeping up, though.
* TheRemake: A remake has been confirmed to be in production, with superior animation and graphics, as well as more or less revamping what little story the original fight had, complete with new settings and plot points, etc.
* TheWorfEffect: This layers over itself every time a character is introduced, though after Mario and Sonic are introduced, this has less of an effect since they are pretty much established as the best fighters for the rest of the movie.
* TimeStandsStill: Used by Link.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: You could say Mario and Sonic do this to each other, forcing them to fight to the finish.
