Hey there! :) Your timing is impeccable, the other admins and I are actually discussing what to do with the new sprites with the newly released rip of the game, since the ones for Steam/PS4 are higher quality.

But to answer your question, no, as sprites without the black background don't actually "exist" in the way you can take them from game files. There's some sort of coding that makes them be transparent, it's some sort of texture? It's a halo type thing with a blue background, I've seen it before in the files myself.

There is a VERY slim chance someone or someones could figure out a way to code the sprites in such a way they appear transparent but as of right now, we have no way or know no one who could do that.

We are likely to be replacing the ones on the wiki with the new rips, and disallowing any editing of sprites to be transparent. Sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted to hear. :(

But there are some ones in the post-game Bonus Mode that are transparent, which we will of course be adding, though they do not make up a full set. If that's any consolation.
