Game Maker question

How come whenever I make a game in Game Maker, the sprites end up garbled? I'm getting really annoyed by this. Please help.

Err... I'm not sure, I've never had that happen... Want me to take a look? I have GM7 Pro.

Ok. Here's the raw files. Hope you can see what's wrong!

I'm checking it out now, I'll edit this post when I'm done.

EDIT: LOL easy fix

the lowest left corner is the transparent color. i just added 1 to the height and added a green strip. it's fixed. Do you want a better movement system than that? I could code you an easy one in about 45 seconds that works a bit better then that. I could make it so Mario changed the direction he faces or something. and went a bit smoother with diagonal movement.
If not I'll upload it how it is.

Sweet. Thanks. If you could do that, that would be awesome.

Yay! Right now, I'm making a semi-gauntlet style maze-type game using stock sprites. One problem. Sometimes the sprites get garble-fied just like the Mario one, and sometimes they don't. Could you show me EXACTLY how you fixed it? I want to know what I am doing wrong.

At the bottom left corner of every sprite, put the color you want to be transparent. make sure the transparent box is also checked. Oh and do you see the rectangle under the color box in the sprite edit? That rectangle shows the transparent color.

Ok. Thanks.

Here it is so far. I have to get to bed and I don't have time to make up and down sprites. You can do that right? just put the sprite change in the up and down arrow events. To edit the speed, goto Mario's step event and change the 5 in s = 5 to what you want the speed to be.

Yay! I can't thank you enough!

You should thank me by not being such a grammar nazi

I don't mind it, but everyone else does

A new problem has arisen! This:

What's up with the Link sprites?

That's not a problem. He's just wearing a cloak!
