(Images Update) Super Mario Kart: All-Stars

This is a hack of Super Mario Kart I have been working on the past month after picking up my past dead SMK hack of 2010.

New content include:
-Brand new themes: all themes (minus rainbow road) will be replaced.
-24 new tracks: All tracks will be changed, including the 4 battle tracks.
-New graphics: to suit with the new themes. BGs, some road tiles and palettes will be changed to accommodate the new themes. Im also planning to edit the menu, podium, title screen,icon etc. graphics.

Current Progress:
-All new themes have been decided.
2 new themes are complete.

6 themes have already their main road palette and extra road tiles changed; just missing the new BG


-Completed tracks
Mushroom cup - 5/5
Flower cup - 2/5
Star cup - 3/5
Special cup 3/5
Battle tracks - 4/4

Total - 17/24

Videos:
Sparkle Oasis 1
Raceway 1 (outdated, see pics for current version)
Jungle Ruins 1
Evening Isles 1

Images:






I'll see if I can post some screenshots of the other 3 battle tracks.
P.S.: hack name may not be final :P
hey, looking nice here!

smk hacks are pretty obscure, and so is super mario kart hacking.

i really like the backgrounds and the palettes made in the road and background. i rarely see custom backgrounds in super mario kart hacks. #smw{:peace:}
My Inspiring Quotes on Personal Growth and Change:

"Resolved financial/personal problems equal greater growth!"

"The only constant thing in life is change; nothing is set in stone. The old is replaced with the new. Forgive yourself for past mistakes. When many different problems in your life are resolved (personal, financial, etc.), newfound strength and confidence is gained in the process. Usually, failures, lack of assertiveness, disappointments, incompetence, low self-esteem and lack of self-respect, financial struggles, and setbacks can cause us to change and take action to solve any problem, leading to increased strength and confidence. This you learn from experience.

I have been experiencing this aforementioned newfound strength and confidence myself for the past FOUR to EIGHT years or so, getting stronger with each passing year, learning with each mistake I make and becoming more joyful in the process. Because of this newfound confidence I've acquired over the years, finding my passion is of utmost importance in 2022! You can develop this strength and confidence in yourself as well!"


To whoever's reading this, you are amazing and you are capable of doing equally amazing things. Gather confidence and be yourself! Say goodbye to the old you and welcome the new you! It wants to arise every moment, but you don't let it. Learn from your mistakes and never make that mistake again! Find your passion and live it!"

Finding my passion in life, but I may still be active on SMWCentral from time to time. Still enjoy playing many hacks, but I'm widening my perspective on life and opening myself to the new.

Thanks! :)
Thought idk if they are that obscure. I have seen quite videos of showing custo tracks. And yeah, theres barely any completed hack with custom BGs because most of the finished hacks were made before the editor could edit them.
Nowadays, the editor lets you change them and much more, so I hope I can draw attention in SMK hacking :)



It's really not often that you see a SMK hack... Especially one with changed colors and graphics! Damn, I never expected someone to actually make a desert track and even a jungle track in SMK; I just loved the way you picked the original "tilesets" and did some changes to them to turn them into something completely different. I've tried my hand with SMK hacking once, but never to this extent, and I don't think I've seen other people go this far either before. This hack is definitely impressive and deserves way more attention than it has gotten so far.

I can't wait to be able to play this!
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
Thanks for those kind words :)

Anyway, as promised, heres battle track 2.
Ever seen the choco island beta battle course 3?

Well, its battle course 2 now in my hack, just with a ghost valley theme. I even recreated the terrain by setting it the same ground type to the same in choco island.

Anyway, time for some pics:

Ignore the blue and orange ghosts :P



nice pictures, gridatttack! battle arena 2 looks like a ghost valley theme with a changed palette. nice work!

i also cannot wait to play this smk hack! i've seen youtube videos about your previous racing tracks, as well.

Looks amazing! It's not everyday that you see a SMK hack in the works, and this one is no exceptions. The tracks are well designed, looks like something I'll be forward to get to play whenever it is released. I really like how you picked a track and turned it into something completely different, especially the battles.

Can't wait to see this released!

E: ddd grammar
Windowless ride, feeling alive
Are you alive or just breathing?
Thanks for the answers :)
I will release a demo once all tracks are done, and I will select 5 of them and 1 battle track to include in it. Since Im sure GFX editing will take some time.

Yeah, you will see soon enough the new theme replacing GV ;)

Now that you mention it, I wanna shed some more info on returning tracks from my past videos:

Nothing from mushroom cup will come back. However the GV idea of 2 different tracks is used on the new 4th mushroom cup track, and maybe I will take the idea of MC2 to be used with the oasis tileset.

From my past Flower Cup, you see MC3 is already in (now in the 2nd track of star cup), and I can confirm that choco island 1 is definitely back, albeit with some minor alterations to make racing a bit smoother.

Im still deciding if to use ghost valley 2. I can include it with some improvements and new tiles to use the new theme with the extra tiles I added.

The ones that are definitely out is donut plains 2, because N64 DK jungle parkway, and BC2, because its a complete mess.

From my past Star cup, koopa beach 1 is already in.
Im on the fence with BC3, it has some issues, so maybe it wont come back.
Everything after wont be returning; GV3 is impossible to race smoothly, VL1 is N64 frappe snowland, and MC4 is just too weird (a better one takes its place now, with the same idea of a road with no rails)

Finally, from my past Special cup, donut plains 3 will return, with modifications on the top part and KB2 is already in.

I dont know what to do with VL2, because it glitches in match race, but maybe it will be in with some modifications.

Choco island 2 definitely wont return, but something similar and smoother might take its place. RR is out because lol and I made a better and interesting one already :3

Anyway, I will try to post pic later of battle course 4. Im fixing some tiling issues, one by one, so it will take some time to fix :S
Tester here. Got to try all the tracks with gridatttack via netplay. Despite the fact that I'm pretty bad at SMK, all the tracks were pretty fun and I found some things that needed fixing.

That doesn't make any sense. If all the tracks are done, you would want to release the full hack, not a demo. You already have at least 5 tracks and a battle track. Why not release a demo now?
New images of battle track 4, set in RR. Also shows the extended RR tileset.


This track is oriented like SMK original tracks, except with jumpers, so you can dodge. Theres 125+ item boxes at one time, so it can get pretty hectic :>

Maybe, true. But im not too sure of GV1 track, due to the left side of it being easier than the right one. Also, gfx editing is tedious because you have to decompress and hope it will work, so it can take some time.

However, I see if I can release a demo the next C3 (this year, in winter, right?)

With only 2 players, 125 tended to be an awful lot. Perhaps you can tone that down a bit.

Well, I say it needs more testing. Considering you can easy dodge on BC4, you might need to have an item at all times, otherwise the match will be a loooong one if 2 really great players battle.

Anyway, seems like c3 is over. I'll see if I can have a nice demo for next C3 :)

Thanks for stopping by.



So for some reason I thought thread would get locked automatically. Anyway, sorry for double posting, tho I have updates:

The final theme was added. It now has its tileset done, so all themes have their new road tiles.

Some tester suggested that I add the donut plains road to the jungle ruins, so heres the result:


It looks good imo, since its now more broken/decayed, as in, actual ruins.

To make this post a bit better, here I present you with 2 new tracks:

Final track of flower cup:

(yes, it can be played with bowser on 150cc, you just need to know how the track flows)

And the third track of special cup:



That brown thing is quicksand. It acts as out of bounds. However, it feels weird, so maybe it will be water in the final.

Now only 7 tracks are left to be done and I can move to the mu n stuff GFX editing.

Also im thinking the ghost valley battle track will be canned. IMO, the BG is too gloom for a battle track. I might, however, add it as a part of 2 simultaneously release patch, just differing in battle courses (to have 8 custom total)
