World 3 - Midnight Islands
World 4 - The Wasteland
World 5 - Forest Mountains
World 6 - Frozen Islands
World 7 - Amusement Park
World 8 - Golden Islands

I have an idea that maybe you could implement. Everytime you die, or complete a level, a custom 'DAYS' counter will increase by 1. If there are around 20 levels or something, then there could be a secret ending for completing the game in 30 days.
Just a thought.

That's a clever idea, actually. Or make it like Pikmin, where you have to complete the game in 30 days. Though, make the day counter raise by 1 every 3 times you die, but still raise by 1 for every level you complete.

@JDC : Yeah that is a great idea actually. I like it.
@Karatekid5 : Yeah that's basically the whole idea; accept I'm not sure if I want to have a game over sequence if you fail to complete it with in 30 days. As for the counter raising every 3 deaths; that's a great idea, was originally not going to mess with that but this idea would make it more challenging (At least for those who aren't relying on savestates)
Well I've semi completed two more levels. Their done for the most part; well their normal routes are. Here are some screen shots.
     
This is always going to be Level 2.
     
Um...here's some level. Yeah that's it for now. Feedback anyone?

Looks nice, although I'm not too fond of the pink palette.

Well, the 30-day game over is to add a little challenge, but I see what you mean.
Here's an idea: Have the day counter in the status bar + OW Border, and have an item, that's rare like a 3-up moon, that subtracts one day from the day counter. They'd be extended objects, so they could only be used once, and have a special ending if the game is completed in 30 days without using these.

Everything looks good, except for that pink palette. And by the way those are not proper screen shots.

@JDC : Thanks. Hmm do you have any suggestions to what I should change the palettes too?
@Karatekid5: Well you do have a good point. I'll look into that since I haven't made a real decision yet. I also like the ideas you mentioned. Is there a way to do that?
@wiiqwertyuiop: Thanks. I'm actually not to sure which rule I was not following (I'm guessing the Mario standing there in all the screen shots) but it's kind of hard for me to catch Mario in the action since I play with a controller instead of keyboard.
Thanks guys for the feedback and ideas in such. This hack is estimated to be finished within a Month or more or less since I'm on semi break from my regular hack (Cause I deserve one). I don't have screen shots too show yet since I just logged in but here are the rules so far based on the ideas listed or what I've come up with.
"Days Will Pass If?"
1. For Every Level You Complete.
2. Mario dies 3 times in a level.
3. Mario Time's Up In a Level (You'll have to start the level over; instead of starting from a mid point)
4. A "Dead End" Level is reached (You'll be forced to turn back)
"Days Will Stand Still or decrease If?"
1. A "Shortcut" Level is reached.
2. A "Rest Stop" Level is reached. (Basically A Bonus Level)
3. Secert Areas (Switch Palaces) are reached. (Not only will the reverse back it will let active the (Insert Color Here) Blocks.
4. a 3 Up Moon is Found (A day will decrease but these are rare)
"Winning/Failing Conditions"
1. You reach the Finish line in 30 Days (You Obviously didn't win the competition though)
2. You reached the Finish-line within 30 Days Or less (There's a slight Chance you didn't win the Competition)
3. You reached the Finish-line in less days then everybody else or finished the race (Game) the fastest. (You're The Winner)
1. 30 Days Have Passed and you're not at the finish line; Not only have you lost the race; you failed to complete the game (Decided to go with this idea after all KarateKid5)
2. No More Lives Remaining. (Your out of the race cause you have fallen and once again failed to complete the game)
3. You reached that one level (You've met a terrible fate; let's hope this doesn't happen to you)
So yeah that's pretty much it. If anyone has any ideas feel free to give input; though you don't have to since this is fine enough to go by. I should have screen-shots by tonight or so.

Whoops! After reading that it doesn't explain how to take good screenshots. What I do is hit F1 in ZENES in game, and go down to save screenshot.

Are you uploading .bmp pics?
Edit: I think I see why they are blurry like that. I think what you did is resize the images and put them in one pic right? And that level looks good!

@wiiqwertyuiop: Yes that's what I did and Wow I just realized that's excatly what I was doing wrong. I didn't realize you can upload the pictures separately and still put them together (Thanks for the feed back btw).
Hey so managed to finish another level. It's an Ice and Lava level; mainly Ice. I have a video of how the level plays if anyone's interested.
Ice and Lava
For those of you who'd rather look at screenshots..well I haven't forgot about you XD
  
  
  
This is actually a level you can encounter later in the game, so if it seems difficult, that's why. Well that's like 4 1/2 Levels finished so far. Feed? I'd love it

It doesn't look bad, I like the way you used 2 GFX'es at ones, I would lighten the water & the blue pipes a little though. ^^
Good luck on your game!

Well, hey. This looks interesting.
It's a really nice and original idea for a hack - I haven't seen anything like this before.
As for the actual levels shown so far, they look great. This definitely looks like a hack I want to play when it's finished. :>
You seem to either work fast or have lots of time to put in it too - I'm actually hoping for the first so it doesn't slow down too much if some stuff comes up in real life.

@Diddyboy100: Thanks and yeah I Thought the water looked a little weird too; just experimenting with palettes in such.
@Patgangster: Thanks a lot and I'm glad you like the idea. I actually normally work fast. I can almost count on fully finishing a level in one day but it's also the reason that Vanilla hacks are a little more easier to work on then I thought.
But yeah thanks for the feedback guys. I don't have progress to show yet; since I just logged into my computer; but I'm starting to work on another level as I speak so yeah. thanks again =)

Well I completed yet another level; finished. This is a level you'd find somewhere on the 4th day. I happened to have recorded a video of the level but for those of you who just want to look at screen shots; well here you go.
Forest Level
        
I almost had trouble capturing screen shots but I managed to do it. So yeah I don't have much to say cause I'm literally really tired right now so yeah; comments and feed back; I'd love it XD

It looks cool in the snapshots!
I like the way you use Castle spikes and forest GFX'es at the same time!

Thanks Diddyboy100 =)
Well I'm back with 3 new levels. I've actually worked my hardest to get all three levels done and uploaded before today cause I knew I Was going to be busy until Sunday. Anyways I think you might like these levels; A few have already. I have screen shots and gameplay of all three levels just encase anyways interested and seeing; but enough talk; have at you!
Forest Cave
     
This one goes by the name of Midnight Plains. I did what I can with this level; since must of the levels using the normal this tile-set usually involve a lot of bushes and such.
Well I decided to make a Forest Cave; to be honest, I didn't know how it was going to turn out but I think it turned out well for the most part (But I'll let anybody but myself be the judge of that.)
Midnight Plains
        
Deep Underwater
        
Geez I don't know where to start with this one. This level has got to one of the levels I've put the most effort in. Being that it's a water level; that already puts it in the bad since a lot of people don't like water levels; so I had to do all I can to make it look and play interesting since I was stuck with just Vanilla Graphics
So yeah those are the levels. You know working on this hack has really gotten me in the feel of working with mixed tile sets and using everything to the best of it's ability. Seriously..this is actually taking me more effort then working on my Chocolate hack. So yeah this isn't coming to a hold or anything but I won't be able to work on this until Sunday since I'll be at a friends house starting today. Well that's pretty much all I had it....Comments and feedback would really be appreciated as always; I worked really, really hard on these levels so I'd really like to know what others think.
