Brutal Mario: Second forest level (after the bridge and ghost house)

I go down the pipe, and nothing happens. Black screen and the music continues.
Is this the intended functionality?

EDIT: Fixed it. My emulator was outdated or something.

EDIT EDIT: How do I hurt Dr. Wily? He seems invulnerable, but that text block before his room probably explains what I'm doing wrong :X

EDIT x3: I should really wait longer before asking stuff. Dinking around with buttons got me my answer.

I don't mind propaganda-spewing heaps so long as they have fun with it. Wart, Bowser, ect are overdone and plain boring.


A game about converting Koopas to christianity?
Bowser's new plot is to destroy the world via global warming?
Bill gates is the antagonist?

Sign me up! So long as it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Anything can be done in good taste.

And there's no proof that this hacker has plans to make this a vigilant chicken terrorist training program, or whatever the crap you're expecting the hack to be. There's room for "loose" messages so that it's not having information stuffed down the player's throught. Good artistic expression on political and social issues is never that way, anway.


Make the messages subliminal, and leave the moral decisions up to the player, not having the "answer" stuffed down their throat. There ya go, "propaganda" hack done in good taste and still has the capacity to be fun.


EDIT: oh, heh, about Wart... Yeah you're right there xD But I just get tired of Mario bosses all the time.
Perhaps Brutal Mario spoiled me.

It'd work just fine exactly the way you imagined.

Final Fantasy 6.

Quite possibly the best character development in games... though it has flaws in the story and such. Highly reccomend to any old school rpg fan.

According to his site http://dragon.s151.xrea.com/, he's been too busy lately to work much on it. New screenies though if you haven't visited in a while.

His ASM tutorials seem to have been updated, however.


Anywho, on topic, this is nice for some of the more frustrating parts of the game. The only other part I think you should include is how to get the blue orb in the last available castle.

How to get the fifth orb (highlight):
Kill the boo boss while he's red

I like that one.

(On the second movie)

The "old bridge" stage seems... short. Really should be a bit longer if it's actually going to be a stage, otherwise I'd say cut it.
(Also it seems odd to have a bridge leading to a boat. A dock would make more sense)

Needs some overworld evolution to show your new path from beating the "old bridge" stage.


At the very end, you died from a blind jump onto an enemy. This is bad. If you can't see the bottom of a jump, you should add some indication of where the player should go (like a coin trail or something) so they land safely.


That's the bad stuff... the good is the music and graphics are good. Level design (in the training room) could be better but isn't bad.

There'll probably be an easier tool to make mario-esque games than hacking this old thing.

This wonderful old thing

Mother 3 translation. (it's only a few months away now)


All other games I want to play have already been released.

Booster.

Final Fantasy 3 (6) for the SNES.

IMO, it has the best non-stratagy turned based RPG battle system so far created. (by non-stratagy, I mean without a board or grid, as FFT or Disgaea have)
It has pretty good story. There are better stories out there, but this one's certainly above par.
Graphics are adequate, with some incredible sprite art for enemies.
Music is incredible. IMO, Nobuo Uematsu's overall best.
And finally, quite simply the best character development in any video game, ever. I have a hard time empathising with the characters in books and film as deeply as I do with those in this game.

You better have a damn good reason for me to not rip your throat out.

These contests have never had much point, but oh well.

EDIT: Changed Ryu to Kefka, and Randi to Flonne, but am too lazy to make a new image.
