I've been on this site for a pretty long time, but I've never really done much during my stay. I've started a few hacks here and there, but never really felt I had created enough to be worth sharing. I guess this is the first time I've created something of decent quality that has enough content to be released in some form.
So about a year ago I started working on this. I was able to create the entire first world in a few months, each level taking me about a week to complete. Then I stopped for a while, but resumed 6 months ago and created the first two levels in world two. Since then, I haven't really made any more, but I would really like to continue and I think sharing what I've done and getting feedback might inspire me enough to create some new content!
Anyway, on to the actual game. It is an unnamed Yoshi's Island hack containing 11 levels (1-1 to Extra 1 plus 2-1 and 2-2). The focus is primarily on level design and puzzles, which are often required for 100%. Difficulty wise, I'd say it starts about mid-game of the original. Since this was my first foray into SMW2 hacking, the levels naturally start out fairly simple, but quickly become more intricate as my knowledge of the engine increased.
Here, have an ips:

Have some screenshots as well:
If that's not enough for you, I also recently uploaded videos of each level in this playlist:

You could also watch those videos if you can't figure something out I suppose.
Some things to be aware of while playing:
-The boss of 1-4 is certainly not what it will be (theoretically) in the final version
-I haven't created the graphics for the boss of 1-8 yet
-I'd advise against entering Bonus 1, since it currently just leads to level 00 (was trying to add Secret levels like in the GBA version, but couldn't get it working)
Otherwise, enjoy!
