My name is Lost ECHO and this is my first hack. check this post often for updates on my OW and submaps.
Current OW Progress
Last Update: Started working on doing something with the great amount of unused space on the OW (Mainly the water at the bottom) So i'll be Updating the OW often till I come up with something good.
The cave sub-map is now axed completely. I've decided the 2 sub-maps, the forest and the final area (based of the Valley of Bowser) to be enough work as it is with an estimated level total not passing 35 levels (maybe).

Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to add more as I progress.

I agree about the palettes and as far as inspiration... Right at the particular moment I need more ideas for my sub-maps. things like palettes, how many levels should be on each map, interesting event ideas. I am fairly new to hacking in general so while I looking to show my best i'm still a total noob to this.

The ghost house that Mario starts is more like Yoshi's house. It is currently a save room. I'm using a Ghost House to force the save prompt to open when the level is exited. but I hope to figure out how to add the shop blocks and call the level "Shop n' Save". Yes the first actual level is the two exit level below it.

Right of the top of my head...well...I was kinda wanting to do a complete overhaul of every level, but that is starting to look like too many levels for my current OW so... assuming I make only 5 levels for my sub-maps around 33 levels.

I actually tried to do that. It doesn't bring up the prompt for some reason. So for now i'm using the ghost house.

Why not try use a palette that looks more like the surface of a strawberry? you know red with light dots.
Something like this:
I just did a quick palette edit for reference.

As I said it was only for reference not an actual palette to be used.

This looks like fun. I'd playtest this for you.

This is great, if you need a tester I would love to play this. The graphics look like they are from New Super Mario Bros. Perhaps your name should reflect that.

This is looking pretty cool. I agree with the crowd, custom palettes would make this look just plain awesome.
Edit: It will still be pretty cool, I'm adding your bar when I figure it out. -.-

There is more but they are all a work in progress.

So how many levels are you planing. I know off the top of my head there are a good dozen different flavors of Kool-aid. Also are you going to do "Special" levels for Kool-aid's special mixes (like the Mystery Color mix) they sometimes sell?

OK, I've been Playing with the palettes for these levels:
Shop n' Save
Level 1
  
Also I'm trying to get the BG to look like detailed versions of the desert hills on the OW
|

|
|
It could look like this:

Ok, Removing the Black dots with something else:
Now its kinda starting to burn my eyes.
