So, a little extra info about Saturday's puzzle. It's one of the older puzzles, I made it 10+ years ago, but more importantly, it's not line solvable. You'll get to the very end and then you need to take multiple rows into account simultaneously for the last 4x2 pixels. I feel like Jupiter has shied away from puzzles like these lately. Most if not all puzzles are line solvable, meaning you only ever need to go line by line and you'll eventually get to the solution. Puzzle #18 had a simple pattern that will come up again in the future.
I'm simultaneously going through my puzzle archive and some of them appear to be quite hard and I plan to simplify them. I've checked them all in the sense that they all have just one solution but in some cases, I've only let the computer check them for me. Now that I'm manually double-checking them, I've found ones that need some serious advanced techniques while some are practically impossible to do by hand. Most of the problem cases are quite large puzzles that I'll never end up sharing here anyway.
I'd like to hear some opinions on difficulty and puzzle sizes. Are 10x10 and 15x15 good for now or would you rather see an occasional larger puzzle? How did you find puzzle #18? Would you like to see more puzzles that have similar quirks (though preferably not symmetrical)? If you've played Mario's Super Picross, how did you find the later puzzles in Wario mode?

I have the solution to puzzle #19 but I cannot figure out what it is, though. It looks like a fire from an oil can in Donkey Kong? Maybe?
As a Picross fan, how did I miss this topic?
I think the only puzzle I've made myself that I can remember is a Doraemon one on Picross DS. I made it based on a Japanese commercial, cannot remember which one in specific but I do remember at the end showing some dominoes falling to form an image of him, that's when I tried to make it as close as possible to that dominoes image.
Maybe I'll do a PC version of it if I still have said puzzle on Picross DS.
Those Wario mode puzzles in Mario's Super Picross made sure the game was my most played SNES NSO game by far. It made say What? Now I have to solve the title screen?
Rusty's Real Deal Baseball is now a hidden gem of the Nintendo 3DS.

@HammerGalladeBro Well, you are here now. Glad to have you. This thread is timeless in the sense that you can always go back and solve the previous ones as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if no one else recognizes #19 either. Quite an old puzzle and now that I look at it, it is kind of missing a feature in order for it to fit in a 10x10 grid. I feel like I could do better now.
I bought Picross DS couple of years ago. I knew it had a designer for custom puzzles so I had to test its limits. It's weird how it doesn't accept puzzle #18 by default but when I erased one of the identical hands, it was suddenly ok. I thought it simply wouldn't accept anything that isn't line solvable but I guess it has some minor flexibility.
Feel free to share your puzzle here if you can still find it.

I also went back and solved the ones I missed. #18 was good, I don't think I've done one that's not line-solvable before but it was easy to figure out how to solve it in this case as it was only right at the end that you had to compare both directions. I'd be up for larger or more difficult puzzles every now and then.

Chikorita
Not my favorite puzzle. Bit too simplistic looking to my liking.

I originally had a different puzzle planned for today but have since noticed that it needs some adjustments for it to work. It would've been the first puzzle for its series. You'll get to see it sometime later. Enjoy this one instead.

Answer to puzzle #25:
Luigi
Quite surprised this one went unrecognized. Could be because it's just the head while most puzzles contain the whole character? Or perhaps he needed the extra pixel for the L on his cap?

Oh! I was looking at it wrong, I thought the nose and ear were fists, the pixels just next to his ear were a right eye and his chin was a body. So it looked kind of like the snowman enemy from Kirby wearing a cap backwards, lol.
I recognised #26 but I have to admit I'm not sure who #27 is. Dark Souls guy maybe?

Answer to puzzle #27:
Knight from Castle Crashers @Dogorilla Good guess but not quite. I haven't played any Souls games so I wouldn't know what to turn into a puzzle.
