Looking under "Idea Cube" on the flash version of this site will give you some concept artwork for Kirby, alongside some weird photos and some psychedelic paintings of landscapes. Could these be ripped from the Flash itself? I'm not too knowledgeable about that sort of thing, but if so, I guess it's valid material.

So, wait. Dark Matter, Nightmare, and Lololo were supposed to be playable in Canvas Curse? Awesome.

Hmm, there's some interesting stuff from Canvas Curse in there... In fact, all that stuff is from Canvas Curse, which is kinda strange since it's not their latest game or anything.

Also, that pink helper with a ribbon can be seen while that section is loading. I think it's from Kirby 3, but I'm not sure.

EDIT: Could you please post the links to the "Loading..." images? There's some stuff in there that's not in the pics themselves, strangely enough.

EDIT 2: You forgot these:

Sure, it means I have to extract them from the SWF though. I'll do it when I can tomorrow.

So just for reference the next time I may stumble across a site like this, how would I rip the images? Would I just save the Flash element and open it in Flash itself, or can I do it from the browser?

No. You will require a disassembler for SWF files. But it's not as simple as that either. For instance, for this, the inside of the SWF file had:

http://webaddress/ideacube/*variable* + _ + *variable*/*variable* + .jpg

I had to reverse engineer the code to get the right URL. It helps if you know ActionScript 2 (or 3.0 if required) as well. Sometimes though, it just requires you to extract images embeded in the SWF file itself. Which is pretty easy.

Here are those promised images, by the way.

Thanks a lot, dude!

There's that other unused ball I meant. Might be Lalala instead of the helper I mentioned in my other post, though.
