What? Did you think all robot maids had jet skis? Of course not. This one takes rides on top of a flying car.

I'm gonna have to draw scene-specific sprites for Pinafore, though. One doesn't simply stand on top of a car and not have that hair flap.

I think we did it, boys. Mode 7 can now have scaled sprites to go with it on Game Maker.

If you're flying over the ocean, it doesn't leave you much choice in what kind of bad guys you fight. They have to fly, too.
