Samus Character Sprite Edits

[OneOf99]

Hey, possibly a noob question here, but how do I edit Samus's main sprites that she uses? (Aka Powersuit/varia/gravity/zero suit) I tried finding it in MAGE, but there are only place-able objects in there.

This is probably one of the most common questions when it comes to GBA Metroid hacking. Samus's graphics are a bunch of tiny pieces that get assembled in different ways. After I finish the next two or so updates of MAGE, I'll add an editor for editing Samus's graphics. I'll try to make it as easy as possible, but it will still take a ton of work to change all of the graphics.

I'm not really too worried about how hard it would be because I have a specific idea in mind already. On a side note then, should one change graphics of sprites before starting to compile a hack? Or is it ok to just leave the graphics mods until the end (even if the entire hack is pretty much finished)?
