Tip: Try not to place secret exits at the very end of levels-- the player will basically have to go through the same level twice.
Custom Music - What do YOU want?

Okay, here's the current status: THE BASE ROM IS READY! Patches are patched up, there's no Piranha Plant glitch, and it was discovered that the Bonus Star glitch was my fault, it was a big mistake I made. Oh well, that was corrected! However, before we get into level signups, I want to address the issue of what music we'll use.

I've made my choice on how it'll be done- we'll have a specific amount of custom music in the ROM. Period. There will be a few categories, and everyone will pick ONE piece of music for each. The winning track for each category will be used in the SMWCP. Simple, no? However, these are the ONLY custom music tracks that will be inserted, so choose wisely! Some may not like this, but this is just to conserve space. There is no reason to overload the ROM with music just because one single person wants a cutscene-heavy level where each part of the cutscene has its own piece of music to go with the feeling of what's going on. (Yes, that is a HUGE exaggeration, but you get my point, right? We shouldn't be overloading our levels with much of anything at all, so why can't we just keep music to a minimum, hmm?)

So, without further ado, here's the categories...for now:


Grasslands 1
Grasslands 2 ('Cause you KNOW that at least one person will want the main theme and the jungle theme from YI. :P)
Athletic
Castle 1
Castle 2
Cave
Cloud
Bonus
Other 1
Other 2
Boss (If you don't want there to be a custom boss music, just say "SMW".)
Ghost
Water

...If you have any category suggestions, post them, but don't expect me to accept them, I don't want to add too much. ;)

I didn't add a Final Boss because one, we don't know who it'll be, and two, there's only ONE final boss, and I think that maybe we should ask (read: kidnap and hold ransom) SNN for a final boss theme. But maybe that's stretching it. I dunno.

If you do not want any custom music, say "No Music". If you have no votes for a category, just leave it out. Now have fun and post your suggestions.
For one of the grasslands, how about Green Grass Gradation. My favorite song ^.^
Well I must admit, I like you decision, but 3-4 slots for each category would have made more sense. Oh well.

Grasslands 1 - Mega Man 1 - Elec Man
Grasslands 2 - Super Mario Kart - Koopa Beach
Athletic - Super Mario Brothers 3 - Athletic
Castle 1 - Final Fantasy 2 - Castle Pandemonium
Castle 2 - Mega Man 9 - We are the Robots
Cave - Kirby 64 - 02
Cloud - Tails Sky Patrol - Training
Bonus - Mega Man 2 - Crash Man
Other 1 - Marble Madness - Stage 1
Other 2 - Paper Mario TTYD - X-Naut Fortress
Boss - Mega Man X3 - Vile's Theme
Ghost - SMW Castle Theme
Water - Mega Man 2 - Bubble Man

Please read the note that says that I do NOT want to put too much music in the hack. People need to show RESTRAINT and learn to live with SMW's music only, but whatever. 3-4 slots for each CATEGORY is just too much. Seriously, who needs four dang themes for grasslands? I sure as heck don't.


In any case, is the Zero-Two theme actually ported? If so, you'd better hope it sounds good, because I am EXTREMELY picky about ported songs. EXTREMELY. (...Maybe I should just disallow custom songs from being in. I myself would never pick these songs... But this isn't my choice, is it? ;P)
Grasslands 1
Grasslands 2: Super Paper Mario - Lineland Road
Athletic: ---
Castle 1: Yoshi's Island - Castle
Castle 2: Super Mario RPG - Bowser's Castle
Cave: Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time - Thwomp Volcano
Cloud: Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations - "Trial"
Bonus: ---
Other 1: Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time - Professor E. Gadd
Other 2: The World's End (Custom)
Boss: Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon "Another Story" - Legendary Battle
Ghost: ---
Water: Rudra no Hihou - Underwater City
Okay, new question.

How badly do you guys want custom music? On the one hand, if we have custom music, everyone gets more to choose from, but it'll take longer for signups to get here. On the other, if we DON'T have custom music, we all have to settle for what SMW's got to offer, whether we like it or not, but we get signups IMMEDIATELY, as music is the last hurdle!


However, there's one more option: SMAS music patch! It's up to you right now, guys. Do you want custom music, but a semi-delayed signup, or SMW or SMAS music (through patch) and near-immediate signup?


Also, before you complain about how I said I'd pick the music myself, I'd like to say, I'm beginning to consider letting someone else pick and insert the music. It's just...

...there's some music I just won't touch. EVER. ... ... ... Can we please leave it at that?
I may have suggested SMAs music but I'd prefer custom music personally.
I think the SMAS music would be easy. pikaguy900 doesn't have to look through 20+ lists to pick out the best music, and we get our level sign ups early. Everyone wins.
I'd personally like custom music. It would help contribute to the originality of the hack. I don't really care if the signups are delayed, we should put as much effort into this hack as possible.
SMW music with some custom tracks.
I would like it if we could have custom music, and i would be willing to pick and insert the tracks if you like :D. If not, then we can go for the SMAS music i guess :\

You need forest levels D:

If there will be forest levels. We must use forest maze from SMRPG. If there is no forest levels in this game, I'd still love to see it fit in somewhere. :D

Edit: I have grown to dislike the SMAS music patch, after seeing it in so many hacks. I am a big fan of custom music. It's one of the major turn ons in a hack for me.

I vote for using SMW's original music. I've never really gotten all that into custom music, I'm not even using it in my own hack. I also suggest that we don't use the SMAS music patch, SMAS-related themes (is that the right word?) are already used in so many hacks.
I suggest allowing people to choose their own music within reason of course. Maybe limit people to 2 song choices. Also, don't overwrite the original SMW music at all, just have custom music added in as you would normally. This was the original idea.
Grasslands 1: Lineland Road
Grasslands 2: (No vote)
Athletic: SMB3 Athletic OR Hop Hop Donut Lifts
Castle 1: Castles of Keytastrophe
Castle 2: Madness Fortress
Cave: Cave Story - Geothermal
Cloud: Fodo
Bonus: YI End Level Music
Other 1: Arrangement: Bowsers Doom Way (Lava)
Other 2: Tilt Island (Tropical)
Boss: Cave Story - Last Battle
Ghost: Calm
Water: Mystery Deeps

Well, I'm pretty sure FP's original plan would work. Music can be inserted after levels have been made, after all.

IMO this is the best way to go.

Then we could make a thread where everyone says what music they are going to use and if someone is going to use the same one etc.


Oh yeah, I almost forgot:

Boss: Boothoven's Theme from Mario's Keytastrophe

FP: Oh, really? I didn't know we had a plan for songs. In that case, thread over, we'll do things that way. Everyone will pick at most 2 songs for their levels. I'll start a new thread about that soon. And uh... Now I gotta get signups prepared.
