Then some example code would be nice ^^;

This is a little something I've been working on for the past month or so, after not working on it for several. It's pretty much one of my attempts to fundamentally change how the game works.
Features:
Yoshi actually plays like Yoshi
Various graphic, sound and gameplay tweaks
Custom music in every level
This demo covers most of World 1, though due to time constraints is missing two levels and the boss, though all finished levels are fully playable.

That is a modified version of your walljump patch. Those note blocks are meant as sort of a "Surprise, you can go this way" thing, though what you're technically supposed to to is take the koopa, running-jump off the end of the platform, spit it at just the right time, bounce off it, grab the other koopa, hop off the two below it and spit-hop again...
dang that was a mouthful o.o
anyway, the glitches with the note block and the OW tiles I have no idea how to fix, but the latter disappears when you load from SRAM. The graphic corruption is apparently a bug with dynamic sprites, I've seen it happen in SCORPION's hacks occasionally...
also, if the walljump glitch involves the lack of a wall, just STZ freeram 3 and 4 first thing each frame. (...or was it 1 and 2? whichever set is "can walljump this frame")

I'm working on a certain project that doesn't require an overworld of any sort, and my current setup involves a bit of a bad hack involving a blanked-out level and a custom sprite that loads stuff from SRAM and triggers a screen exit. Is there some way to have starting the game, dying etc. just bypass the overworld entirely?
I've been working on this one in the background off and on for quite a while, and it's finally ready for a demo release. What is it, you ask?
And what on earth could this be?
And this?
It's one of the first ever Metroidvania Mario hacks, complete with:
- Working save system
- Respects save slots
- Works properly for erasing slots
- Saves location, lives, powerup, coins and switch palaces
- Metroid-style permanent powerups, in the form of coins you collect
- Saves to SRAM
- And last but not least, a whole new world with branching paths and varied environments!

Now with video!
The demo contains three environments (grassland, caverns and desert), the Yellow Switch Cave, and the first poweup coin (plus a little something extra at the end, if you can figure it out!) and can be downloaded here!
Credit to Icegoom for the NSMB base, of course, and anyone else I can't remember; full credits will of course be listed in the final version, assuming the project does in fact run to completion.
Also note: I'm looking to make this somewhat of a team hack at some point, since I very much doubt I'll ever be able to finish this on my own.
Enjoy!
P.S. If you figure out what to do with that number, hold down and press A in midair.

Here's a little something I just figured out and threw together: SP4 Reclaim
From the readme:
From the readme:
Code
SP4 Reclaim System by JVyrn This sprite is a quick workaround I found for the problem of dynamic sprites permanently "eating" the last few tiles of SP4. How to use: Set the level's extended animation area to either the same as SP4 or a file identical to it from tiles 40 to 7F Set up two ExAnimation slots as follows: - Type: 0x20 8x8s: line - 1 frame - For the first: Destination 4C0, Frame 00 6C0 - For the second: Destination 4E0, Frame 00 6E0 Place the sprite about two or so screens away from anywhere a dynamic sprite can go. Place your sprite using SP4 on the same screen. Enjoy!
I released a demo of this last C3, but I don't think much of anyone played it... However, I haven't stopped working on it.
In case it wasn't clear, this is a metroidvania hack. Since the last demo I've completely revamped... well, a lot of things. Instead of a save menu or any sort of overworld, you now get this save room.
A save star...
...and a checkpoint star. These are like save stars, except they only last until a game-over or quit.
This is one of the Ability Coins. There are three to collect in this demo.
The yellow switch.
I've changed a few miscellaneous things about how the game works, too:
- Hitting a wall makes a sound if you're moving fast enough
- You can press A in midair to switch in and out of a spinjump
- Edge-of-screen area transitions keep Mario's momentum
And without further ado...

v1.1 UPDATE:
Tweaked some minor level design
Added the interior to Mario's house
Added a view-save-file feature (press up in the save room)
Added RPG Hacker's VWF dialog patch, used for the Ability Coins and the Info Box in Mario's house
Fixed a bug or two
