another edit:



i made the bg actually look good

-quick update-

no longer 1-2, will be late world 1 or world 2, its a bit too difficult and doesn't really fit anywhere on the map :/

I really like how you use parts of Yoshi's House for the background, it just looks so cool!

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!

Hey everybody, i'm back for another update. I'm gonna try to do this stuff daily if I can, but it might not always go as planned. So last night I finally threw together an Overworld, it's unfinished but I really like how it's turning out!

This is world 1 (without the castle) and it's actually pretty long! It has 7 levels! Two of those being THE BEAUTIFUL and SKY CRUSHER (which has been moved to 1-6) I'm also working on a brand new level for 1-2, it's placeholder name is WEIRD DOME 7 (or final name maybe???)

It's the first level in the hack with an super enforced gimmick, the level is slightly puzzled based, but most of these puzzles are completely optional and just reward you with a power-up, or in this case, Yoshi.



In Super Mario World, these red blocks are sprites (Duh right) but much like platforms, Mario can stand on them but NPCs and other sprites cannot. This allows for some interesting level design and puzzles, such as in this screenshot with the turnblock and throwblock. You have to aim the throwblock just right to hit it, it's sure to be challenge!



Speaking of which, this level is a bit of a challenge without Yoshi, he makes things ALOT easier and get you to a few places you can't access with Luigi alone.


Now back to SKY CRUSHER.



The second half of SKY CRUSHER is at night, I thought it would be a cool idea since the whole first part's palette revolves around a sunset, so it's like you're progressing through the day.



This sections a bit more tricky than the first one, but it makes up for that by being shorter and more rewarding to the player. Speaking of rewarding..



Did you remember to bring the P-switch?

That's all for now everybody, please give me some feedback!

P.S.



i'm attempting to make a boss with lunar magic alone, wish me luck!

you click the little picture of the fishes

as for the flowing leaves, pretty sure that's a custom sprite, i have one much like it in my level

lost the motivation to work on this for awhile, i'm currently working on a level for a future collab/contest i'll be participating in and kinda have no ideas for any new levels soooo lol

just to clarify; this isn't dead, just on hiatus

i use prtscr on my keyboard then try to make them a bit smaller with paint. can ZSNES take screenshots?

ah yeah, i've been hearing that for awhile, just never took the time to get around to downloading SNES9X

carol is still around (just not here)

pretty sure he's still working on Brutal Mario

look im not dead wow!!!!!!!

this is 1-3, ORANGE SODA BEACH. i made some sand tiles out of the moving rock platforms and stuff so theres that

i've made almost half the level and i don't want to spoil the surprise it hides :^)



sorry for the short as heck update but i dont want people to think i'm dead lol

music!!!!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yROl1hRrYgE]

i'll try to throw together a one world demo soon!!! ;w;

(update: weird dome 7 has been completely omitted from the hack, this is now 1-2)

does this look any better? i think the top of the foreground looks fine, so i assume the bumpy walls made it look like a cloud or something

why do some of the tiles glitch when i make mario enter a sublevel from the second screen

alright, i'll try to make it vary

why do some of the tiles glitch when i make mario come out of the pipe on screen 01 and onward

welp now i gotta learn how to do that lol

thanks for the help

nah, i'm using pure vanilla

THIS HACK IS GETTING A MASSIVE REVAMP
I've decided to scrap alot of my older concepts because I know I can do way better now. I'll be keeping the Overworld I made and a few of the levels I started on but they will most likely go through heavy changes and updates OR be removed entirely

With all that being said, I've made an entirely new first level! I wasn't a big fan of my old one and I thought the structure and difficulty curve was really awful, not to mention the strange palette choices.



As you can see I've applied a few patches and even added some rad custom music! I'll probably put up a video of this level on my channel once i'm done sprucing it up.

It's name is A MOLESOME WELCOME! It's littered with tons of moles and there are even some cave segments where you run into Mega Moles as well.



Other than that though it's honestly just a typical first level. You've got your Koopas, Goombas and Pirahana Plants! ( no banzai bills though )



All that being said though, I still tried to make the layout and structure pretty complex, but in a way thats easy to take in and open up with! While the path is pretty straight forward and set in stone, there are a few secrets hidden beyond the screen boundaries!

(im so sorry i really wanted to release a demo soon but i'm just not happy with most of my levels )

new ow palette ok bye

yahoo here we go spaghetti thank you so for much playing

a pikmin layout with red yellow and blue i guess
