Hyperactive Sprite	comment	A Hyperactive Sprite just can't keep still, even when it's not moving. At least, it would probably look like the character is "walking in place". This is unlike an Idle Animation, which is the character intermittently performing animations when left idle for long periods, as a hyperactive sprite has no idle mode and never comes out of its movement animation. One of the reasons is the designers' unwillingness to make separate "standing still" sprites for the characters, whether out of memory limitations or an unwillingness to waste time on sprites that most players will barely see. (How often do you stand still for more than a fraction of a second when playing a video game, when you aren't in a cutscene or taking a bathroom break?) This trope is not about hyperactive fairies.

Recurring Optional Boss Pringer X walks in place. Asagi also does it in Disgaea 2, her sprite and animations being ripped directly from her first appearance in Makai Kingdom, where everybody did it. A bat-demon NPC in Disgaea 2 comments that he's exhausted and just wants to land already, but can't because they didn't make him any non-flying sprites.

The characters would rhythmically raise and lower their arms when standing still. Particularly noticeable when talking to shopkeepers. Averted for most of the enemies, although Hildebears and their variants are a notable exception. Once a player left a room, most enemies would return to their spawn points and stand still; Hildebears, on the other hand, would continue to wander menacingly around the room, waiting for something to fight, and were completely incapable of standing still.

He stays perfectly still when not doing anything in-game, however. Not even an Idle Animation. The "walking in place" animation is referenced in Super Mario 3D Land, where Mario is seen frantically running in place right before accessing the very first level out of panic over Peach being kidnapped (though he stands still after that).

In his own stage, Metal Man looks like he's running in place on the conveyor belt that is used for the floor of the arena, when in reality he's just running in place, unaffected by the conveyor belt. There's no conveyor belt the second time you fight him. This is justified in Quick Man's case, as he has to keep moving. Standing still hurts him, which is why he is the only character in the game hurt by the Time Stopper.

Hyperactive Sprite / int_e26905cd	comment	Tekken: Lei Wulong is a Confusion Fu master, so it isn't surprising that he has the most unique fighting stance of the cast. While other characters at least remain in a stationary position, Lei will continuously walk back and forth in a zigzag pattern, so he can end up circling the opponent a full 360 degree even though nobody touches the controller. Capoeirista Eddy Gordo and Christie Monteiro have the ginga as their fighting stance. Forest Law has this in his debut (and so far, only canon) appearance, and in 4 and 5, his father Marshall Law has the same one as well. Beginning with 6, Marshall has an entirely different but still always-moving stance that emulates Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do more faithfully.

Hyperactive Sprite / int_ebc95282	comment	Namu Amida Butsu! -UTENA- is a Card Battle Game in the veins of KanColle among many, but what sets it apart from other similar games are the default sprites, which constantly and smoothly move even in the character index. Battle and internal affairs sprites are still, however.
