The form of dimetric projection commonly used in video games and pixel art. Only two of the angles separating the x, y and z axes are the same, and only some of the lengths of the cube's edges are equal. The expression arctan(sin(30°)) is equal to ≈26.565° and forms a 2:1 pixel ratio.
(A special video mode of the MMC5 mapper overrides this, assigning a subpalette to each 8×8-pixel tile.) Sprites have an additional set of four 3-color subpalettes (with color 0 being transparent in each) and every 8x8 or 8x16 pixels can have their own subpalette, allowing for a total of 12 different colors to use for sprites at any given time ...
