This mod primarily substitutes the character, monster, background, and spell sprites from the Switch version of Dragon Quest III with those from the iOS/Android version. The latter uses a pixel art style that integrates better with the game’s tilesets.
However, it’s worth noting that both the Switch and Mobile versions lack several unique sprites found in the SNES version of the game. Instead, they use generic NPC sprites.
Therefore, variants of this mod are being included that restore these missing sprites into the game. These sprites were extracted from the SNES version, and their palettes were edited to match this port.

Known Issues
- A few field sprites (most notably the ship and Ramia) use non-integer scaling (250%), so it was impossible to replace them without distorting their pixel aspect ratio. To avoid having inconsistent pixel sizes, a pixel mixing algorithm was used during scaling that makes them look slightly blurrier than the rest of the sprites.
