The device is traditionally redesigned each year, thereby resulting in a yearly SS comic, and usually (but not always) sports the ability to change one's sprite form. The Sprite-Switcher has greatly evolved since its first design; there have been a total of six designs so far, progressively becoming larger, more over-the-top, and more destructive. Typically, it ignores its intended use and becomes a vehicle of Guest Star Abuse. It has also been used to abuse Razor sprites, as is LTSL tradition (though Dokuma likes Marty Razor Kirra's recent work and is on good terms with him).
