Tip: If you plan on making long levels, be sure to include multiple midway points. A patch for this can be found in the Patches section.

Is it possible to add more submaps to the overworld?
I believe than no. All the "x-ed" space of the OW is already used for the Layer 1 and event tiles. And before... I never seen any hack using it...

Thanks for the answer. I was wondering if it was possible. Thanks again.
With some fancy ASM skills you could spilt the main OW up into submaps, if you wanted to. You could also use the "X" spaces, but it would be tricky and probably not worth the work.

It's possible to have as many submaps as will fit in the ROM.

It's just not feasible. You'd pretty much have to recode a good chunk of the overworld.


But of course the question wasn't if it was possible in the first place; the question was whether it could be done in LM or with a simple patch. Answer is no.
This thread may be of some interest to you.
There's a bit of possibility to make a new submap but there's 99% chance that it would be frustrating to do or cause some problems in the ROM. Yeah, I asked this some time ago. Check that thread Iceguy linked.
Hmmm... I think it would be pretty possible to split the Main Map into several submaps, but I'm competely not sure about it.

I guess that when Mario reaches a certain XY position on the OW, an active ASM code could disable the scrolling, so the screen doesn't scroll to the area with a different submap. The music would be set different to every portion of the main map with an ASM code, so every submap has a different music. In palette editor, there are 8 palette rows, so there could be some palettes for usage.

I'm not sure if it all would be possible, but hey! Think about things, which will appear in 2020 year here at SMW Central! There will be much more ASM submissions here then, and maybe even better things will be done.
