Super Mario World: 30th Anniversary Edition™ (2-15-25)

Sorry to say I may not change it as I have other ideas taking up my time than fixing little details smwc seems to hate like "cutoff". Personally its never bugged me and even smas smb3/sma4 has cutoff like this. We'll see though.


Yeah, I already made this change for a future update. Can't wait to see people's reactions to this particular enemy that'll be seen various times haha.


Problem with this is, the way the current asm is set up, this would disable a lot of things and rewards. Its sort of my fault bc this hack is what started my asm knowledge, and while I do know a tad bit more, I have no feasible way of reorganizing a lot of the game's asm to fix certain issues this would cause.


Thanks! Hope you'll check out said improvements too!


Lol yeah, I was here before I even thought to upload my ports to youtube.


Vanilla bug. Not much I can do.


This once happened to me but I was never able to recreate it so I haven't have much opportunity to try fix it. Do you recall steps to make this happen? Can you reproduce it at will?


Lol I need to get more creative with the other 3 exits to star road.


Exactly what problems happen in Larry's room? As for the fall toggle feel free to read the upper response.


This may be much to ask but I'd be greaful as it'd speed progress. Does this only happen if the castle is the last level prior to a cutscene? I ask bc MAYBE of the end castle cutscenes.


I really can't promise functionality outside of BSNES/BSNES cores. While SNES9X is a great 2nd choice, I've noticed/heard of a few bugs present that are not in BSNES.

Also yeah, the whiteline on the grass is a beta tileset thing which is also came in gigaleak GFX.

I am currently working on a v3 update which I do hope to release in time for C3. Rather than releasing small bug fixes there and there I want to just wait and release it all in one go. Aside from bug fixes, planned features are: Bonus Levels, Secret Bosses, slight aesthetic changes, and revamping some hard mode levels that were just generator spamming. Luigi's sma2 physics are still planned. As for the co op, I'm not sure it'll happen at this point, I've just been crammed on time and trying to get the bonus levels done for it as well as some gimmicks. Please report any bugs with steps on how to reproduce them and an srm file.

Version 3 Update 1
Includes roughly 2/3rd of the E-Reader levels, working triangle blocks that behave like sma4's, Har Mode now has levels redone via conditional map16 so layouts/design of some levels are now different, and since the initial release of C3 I've fixed plenty of oversights (not necessarily bugs, just things I forgot to edit). As of right now, there's only one bug that I'm aware of and that's due to the status screen patch. Basically, the more times you exit it, the more the sa1 stack fills up until it overflows and it'll eventually softlock you. You can tell when this will happen bc playing a level will make tiles not update (collecting coins will still leave coin tiles, hitting blocks won't generate use blocks, etc). In addition to this, interacting with coin or bounce block sprites will increment $1558 in sprites which will cause.... funny affects. Here's a gif to show an example.



Awaiting a fix from Ladida or Vitor. Also in case anyone is interested, a vtuber by the name of LzySusan will be streaming the hack at 1 pm EST.

Version 3 Update 2
-Fixed sma2 status screen bug with sa1 stack ovverflow (by extension this fixes the odd level bugs in the gif and potentially fixes the odd warps from cutscenes taking you outside of the map but further testing on this will happen).
-Fixed warp sprite which would always take you to its destination if touching it thus breaking e-reader levels.
-Deleted generators in levels that weren't needed.
-Deleted a sprite respawner in YI3 (which caused cheep cheps to spawn in air)
-Corrected a message box in Valley of Bowser 3.
-Fixed layer 3 bg in Valley of Bowser 2.

Tomorrow I'm going to try come up with a solution for the banzai bill generator in hard mode and that may be it in terms of bug/annoyance fixing unless someone finds another bug I'm not aware of.

Yeah the srm only transfers well if its between version close to each other but they're drastically apart, ESPECIALLY after the sma2 status screen patch... Yeah... The one I have is the same one I've had since v1 but I've just kept backing it up and replacing after every small update continuously. I'd never recommend someone to use the same srm if you haven't played the hack in a while but its also possible you could backup your srm, and if it crashes or restarts your game, quit it, replace it and that should be fine.

Beta sprites just for cosmetic change (though the blue jay does appear in 3 levels and originally was supposed to appear inside cave levels in hard mode but that idea was scrapped bc the coder hasn't had time to make it).

News:
As of right now SMW 30 has had virtually every bug fixed, like... EVERY bug that I caught in my full play through as well as what was shared here and in DMs and what was caught in some streams I saw. My plans left are the finish the last batch of e reader levels and add the tanooki leaf and hopefully kuribo's shoe. I may post the bug free soon without these last add on features for the sake of finally have a bug free version out so keep a watch out for that on here.

Could you verify this happens in BSNES? If so, could you send an srm file.


I want to add that I do plan to release said fixes but I don't want to keep making an update everytime I happen to find a bug so I've been thoroughly testing the game for things I might have missed so in case anyone is new to seeing this thread or is still keeping up, here's the current fixes this new update will have (aka bugs present in current version):

-Fixed incorrect ExGFX used for Rope Valley.
-Fixed an odd bug in which finding all exits wouldn't trigger the cutscene once the ow loaded unless a star road or pipe was used (or quitting a level with pause, select).
-Added small fix to status screen patch (was storing garbage to $2225/$318F and was unsure how bad it was to leave it).
-Fixed issue where Luigi had Mario's GFX in Yoshi's House and by extension the bonus levels.
-Edited Vanilla Dome 3 to make wall running easier against Venus Fire Trap near midway point in hard mode.
-Edited Valley of Bowser 4 (you could get stuck before the key bc player can't jump high enough without jumping off Yoshi).
-Added Big Bertha to Forest of Illusion 2 (and by extension edited tilemap conditions for Big Bertha). Changed the secret exit back to normal in said level as well as fixed some tiles not being conditional map16.
-Fixed lotus cluster sprite to despawn when course is cleared and fixed glitch where if Yoshi was hit with them he'd run FAST.
-Added yellow ! block back to Donut Pains 2 sublevel and moved message box.
-Changed global to check switch palace levels before checking other conditions to activate hard mode level pass flags (this ensures hard mode levels passed check is accurate).
-Fixed 96 exits cutscene to happen after overworld loads and shouldn't spawn you offscreen when it's over.
-Fixed some conditional map16 tiles, made conditional map16 flag run globally every frame (you won't need to re-activate hard mode now everytime you update).
-Fixed extra ball n chain sprites still appearing in normal mode in Ludwig's castle.
-Banzai Bills in Valley of Bowser 1 and 2 now have normal interaction instead of hard mode interaction and palette is reverted to 9 as well (I bet a lot of ya'll that know this level are happy about this).
-You can now find all 96 exits and Dragon Coins at the same time and both cutscenes will play back to back AND the level passed event will still trigger (also fixed a bug in which the 96 exit cutscene wouldn't allow you to move on the last event unlocked).
-Fixed oversight where if a powerup was coming out of a block and Yoshi ate it fast enough, it'd still have the sprite block mask attached.
-Fixed Yoshi bongos not muting in certain Bonus Levels where Yoshi doesn't get taken.
-Fixed oversight on veggies having priority over pipes when carrying through said pipes.
-Corrected bwram addresses responsible for checking all dragon coins collected flags for each game slot and corrected the amount of levels passed to reward player in hard mode. Said fixes should now allow the alternative intro cutscene when 100% passing a game slot.
-Fixed Chill Cavern which had a Yoshi Coin unreachable thus making it unpassable in hard mode.
-Restored old boo code for normal mode.
-Fixed graphical oversight in inner maze.
-Made Bowser's fireballs not spin jumpable in hard mode.
-Changed palette of chuck's rock and Big Steelie to red in hard mode to let player know they can't be spin jumped on.
-Fixed a veggie so you don't spin while caped/tanooki when picking it up.

As of right now, tanooki leaf has been successfully patched and working. I'm trying to add helmet Mario/Luigi right now and that's where certain bugs are being worked on to try and fix. If anyone interested hasn't yet, I ask you please put a watch on this thread to receive notifications everytime there's an update or news. Thanks for all the support so far on this hack!

That’s already fixed in the current version along with another message box missing a message in Valley of Bowser 3. Also if you happen to see message boxes that say Bonus Level XX but with no code, that means I haven’t finished that bonus level yet.

A long awaited update that fixes various bugs has arrived! This update also includes Tanooki Mario/Kitsune Luigi and Helmet Mario/Luigi. One is a new powerup and the other is just a cosmetic change. I'll leave a gif and list of bug fixes/changes (this is just for show and tell purposes, there's no powerup block or pipe in Yoshi's house and if there is well then fuck). As always, let me know if you find any more issues!
