===Transparent Textures and Stretching===
The reflection of anything on the water gets drawn with an offset of quite a significant amount . I suspect it's the same amount and side as in "Stretching and Transparent Textures".
On the left and bottom sides , when a transparent texture overlaps another the texture underneath gets stretched out to the edges. This does not happen when there is no transparent texture on top. It happens when looking at the surface from under the water , also when looking at the water from the surface.


Dolphin's reflection gets drawn too high , and too much to the left:

Notice the amount s of displacement coincide with the border effect in issue 2.

Cut out the "under water" bit of the dolphin and moved it the amount the borders on the sides are off , looks like a match to me.

The hair on the main character looks strange , but when taking a closer look , I can see the polygons aren't actually drawn , that's why they look transparent. Either the wii draws surfaces not displayed on screen , or textures and colors both sides of surfaces.

In game with normal graphics looking at sunshine.. notice the top of the head of the main character is transparent.

Character select screen without textures , notice there are no polygons for the top of the head:

Again , without textures , on the boat , no polygons where the top of the head is.

Problems

Transparent Textures and Stretching

On the left and bottom sides , when a transparent texture overlaps another the texture underneath gets stretched out to the edges. This does not happen when there is no transparent texture on top. It happens when looking at the surface from under the water , also when looking at the water from the surface.

After wave has receded, the texture underneath looks fine

Reflections

The reflection of anything on the water gets drawn with an offset of a significant amount, this appears to be the same amount and sides as in "Transparent Textures and Stretching".

Cut-n-paste "under water" reflection and moved it the amount the borders on the sides are off

Hair

The hair on the main character looks strange , but when taking a closer look , I can see the polygons aren't actually drawn , that's why they look transparent. Either the Wii draws surfaces not displayed on screen , or textures and colors both sides of surfaces.
