Alright, I got it to show up in full! Only issue, currently, is that it kinda draws in a weird spot and stretches the bottom bar, but progress has been made.

Why is it important to use an SVG?

imo, it's not but there are some nice benefits to it. Scales good, flashy and Mario-y, looks better on mobile.

SVGs look purdy, although they're large in size (Mit's 1-Up is over 130 KB). I'm a bit worried that using a lot of them will slow down site performance. I can't confirm that, though.

I just don't see the point. Vector style graphics I'm sure are the future but 99% of the internet just doesn't use them because right now it's not really worth it. How many people are likely to view MFGG on a mobile device on average? Or at a lower resolution that requires zooming in. And even then, the worst you get from a PNG is a slight blur but at a lower filesize and greater compatibility.

Still, maybe I'm wrong but then all the graphics I made are out of date and may as well be replaced.
