Final Fantasy III: Auction Chocobo Fix is a fan-made patch for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy III. Released on October 27, 2016, by madsiur, the patch corrects a visual bug where a chocobo sprite in the World of Balance auction house is obscured by two NPCs. The fix updates NPC properties to ensure proper sprite rendering, enhancing gameplay experience. Various patch formats are available for different ROM types.
The chocobo in the WOB auction house has two portions of his sprite cut off by the two lady NPC standing behind him. This is because those NPC sprites have priority over the chocobo one.
To fix this, the property "can walk over" for the NPCs have been checked and bit 8:3 of their NPC data has been unchecked.
Thanks to seibaby for the bug report.
