PNG Monstrous (accidently misspelled "Monsterous" at run time) is an unofficial update for PNG Monster that gives it a few extra features while retaining all the original features and functionality. It contains the latest version of pngout for good measure. Yes, I still have a working version of Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise Edition to make this revision thanks to the included source code of the PNG Monster download.

Benefits for MarioWiki
Optimizing PNGs benefits MarioWiki in three ways:
 * Reduces storage space required, which is a plus for, the owner of MarioWiki.
 * Faster page load times.
 * It's more considerate to people using slow or metered connections accessing MarioWiki.

New Features

 * zopflipng added.
 * Check/uncheck optimizers to speed up optimization time.
 * pngout and zopflipng are enabled by default while the other older optimizers are disabled by default.
 * The reason is that most of my tests indicate that these optimizers are all you will ever need, but for edge cases, you will get access to all optimizers.
 * This usually occurs with very dimensionally small images, such as sprites. Use all optimizers in this case. It won't take long to cycle through all of them.
 * pngrewrite check box can't be modified but the option is there for a future revision.
 * Log notes what optimizer is running.

Bugfixes

 * "Run-time error '6': Overflow" fixed. The original program was trying to divide by 0. Paper Mario Dizzy.png

Download
You will need Service Pack 6 for Visual Basic 6.0 to run this app. If you are running a supported Windows OS by Microsoft, this should already be installed and ready to go so no need to download that. I LOVE Microsoft's efforts to retain compatibility!
