Those flame sprites your talking about are SMB3, they do exist, and they are sprites. Oh, and yes, bosses can change GFX during hit phases.
Thanks for your questions though, all posts here are appreciated and considered if it's a suggestion.
BTW, all that needs to be made now is the Hunter Boss. I need to edit the story line abit due to all this tight space now, so, yeah.

If they're here, I wonder what they're known as... the closest thing I found was a Fire Pillar sprite.

SMB3 Fire Chomp, if I'm not mistaken.

No, not those. I mean the SMB3 airship flames that I saw were used in that video.

HINT PALACES!!!
 
HINT PALACE CHALLENGES
 
What are they?
You may be asking yourself, "what are Hint Palaces?" As the name portrays, Hint Palaces are the replacements for Switch Palaces, mostly because the Switch Palaces are needed in plot development. Hint Palaces, as the name says, are places where you can get hints on how to pass obstacles (or beat levels) for FREE! Who is giving the hints? Well, If you played our demo, you'll find 1 hint palace. As you can see, Hunter and SCORPION (the enemies of the hack) are in charge of these places. These places are the only places they tend to be your friend at. SCORPION, since he is the know-it-all, is in charge of giving you the hints. Hunter, is in charge of the more physical activities. In the first Hint Palace, you'll see all he offers is a joke. But each hint palace afterwards, Hunter offers challenges, and chances at some rare items.
There will be four Hint Palaces included in the next demo.

Yet another back-to-back post by this thread's favorite user.
S.C.O.R.P.I.O.N. !
 
Level Name
SCORPION's Crater
Not much is shown, but as you can tell by the name, this is an important level, and poses as the final level world 6, Crystal Mountain. This level is different the others; basically concerning the fact that once you defeat this level, there is NO going back to redo the other levels and collect items/treasures that'll make this quest a lot easier later on.
This level has a lot of story to it, but at the same time a lot of game play. It starts out slow at first, but soon gets very intense.
In Other News
One thing I love to do is take abuse of that "Center" tag in HTML. Oh man, yep. Okay, so most people here know that I am working on Fourth Sector ~Second Edition~. Due to that, this project (due to also having no posts) has fell down the grid. Most people probably assumed it dead. It isn't, I've done a LOT of work on Fourth Sector, but I am dedicated to finishing this thing before I show anything else of Fourth Sector.

So this level will lock you in the final stages of the game? Is it possible to make them accessible again after you beat the game?

Yeah, it is, but you'd have to find the Hint Palace that takes you back in order to do so. After beating this level, it locks you in the last 3 worlds of the hack.

I really like the "Locked in the last 3 worlds" idea. It adds to both the challenge and the storyline, and easier levels can't be replayed for power-ups.
Also, any more shots of the overworld? I really like it's style, and Since 3 more worlds are almost complete, we have 3 more map areas, so I'm looking forward to seeing them, along with the completed levels. I really hope that the demo is released soon.

Alright, Betas have been sent out today. Since it has been a lot longer than planned for a Beta to be ready, we're not sure who'd like to betatest this, and even more be dedicated to it. So, please, if you have registered for Beta-testing, and still wish to now. Please reply to this and you'll have yourself the Beta IPS patch before the end of the 13th of January. Thank you!
Please remember that this beta will not normally have access to the stuff we've shown off here in the last 2 or 3 pages of this thread. This beta only includes Worlds 1 to 5. (Sorry Moose, but this demo will not normally include the level that uses your music, that is in World 6)

Beta Testing has been going smoothly so far. At the moment I'm at the split between Scorpion's Iceberg and Hunter's Focur. I'll do a second run of world 1 soon to see if I missed anything then I'll send you the world 1 report. I'm really enjoying this beta testing so far, and I'll be happy to Beta test in the future as well!

I let this thread get buried, but that's my fault. Beta-tester(s), you're still welcome to post your progress here if you like. Otherwise, I'll just show off some more content.
Getting close to finishing up Crystal Mountain, and it sure it living up to it's name. The eyes are following me. It may or may not be hard to tell, but Screenshots 2-4 are from a completely different level than the first.
   
Yeah, I decided to replace the boos and stuff with something I like to call a "Glare", a crystalline creature born from the shining of the crystalline caverns. It doesn't really like it when others of it's kind aren't the ones around.

Yo scorp! I don't know if I've said this, but I've really liked what I've seen from this hack so far. Your graphical talet is very unike, the graphic is always cool, if I could use that word. I really don't know what else to say, but I have a question: Did you make that icy cave FG gfx in those last pics, some of the best I've seen used in this hack!

Thank you for your comments, they're always appreciated.

Unfortunately, this is one of the few graphics in this hack that I did not make. I ripped it from Super Ghouls n Ghosts, a few more things in this hack will* be ripped from SGnG as well.
*To be done soon basically.

It's been a long run with this hack, but we are finally where we want to be: The Crater. World 7. After this, it's just one more world until we release the full version of this hack. (after beta testing of course)
The Crater, if you've followed the story from the first demo, tells us that this place is where Hunter and SCORPION came from. This is where everything begins, and where Mario will make it all end. There is no going back after this. Nothing will be the same.

One thing that I really need to know is the answer to this question I'm about to ask:
"Should we finish the hack instead of releasing a 5 World Demo"
Because Metalgearhunter and I are working this almost everyday, and while we have some users here beta-testing our 5 World Demo version of the rom; as I post this here, we're near to completing World 7, 3/4's of the hack done. There are still some more classified things to complete before we decide to release this. So I just want to know:
We're just going to go on with the 5 World Demo
---
My vote is on the Five World Demo. SRM will be compatible, so there isn't much of a drawback from having a 5 World demo. Besides, we need something to get our previous 2-World demo off the shelf.

Well, I will take my vote. I believe we should release a world 5 Demo so we can get World 5 and the other worlds before beta-tested and bug fixed. Take any opinions on those and then send out a 2nd beta.
And pretty much, I'm halting myself on the hack until Ixtab can get that request done, b/c now we DO need it.

Well, I don't see no argueing there. So... we basically await beta-testing to be finished, then release a 5 world demo huh. Alright, I can do that. Meanwhile, I'll scratch everything off my above post.
Feel free to enjoy the pretty pictures above.
