Super Mario Maker 2 - SMW Volcano Background - Summer 2021

I officially ripped PixelMarioXP’s background and credits to him for making an awesome volcano background. And the link is in the highlighted area:

Here’s my sample images:

The lava fringes on the top of that background doesn't do it for me. Honestly I don't think it's a very good attempt at an SMW Styled Volcano BG. Maybe you'll have better luck next C3.

Instead of being unneedingly harsh you could try and give some constructive criticism. What you have done is not constructive in any way.

It's not bad but I do feel it could use some improvements and extra additions.

I'd say maybe have the lava be sitting in a crater or sorts to help with the depth.
That said some recoloured waterfall tiles could be really cool "lavafalls" which could make the background feel a bit more lively. A good start however as more SMW styled backgrounds will be helpful for hackers.

Fanatical like a Demon

Actually, I think this is pretty good. All you'd need to do is get rid of the lava dripping from the top and simply keep he hill pattern and palette and it'd fit wonderfully as an SMW bg. SMAS SMB3's bg in Dark World didn't have lava running down the hills/volcano so it'd definitely fit well. Give it a try and let's see what people think!

I think I should definitely move the palette to 3 to fit even better. I gonna be replacing the palette file, and the GFX too. Map16 is good.

Good volcano graphics!

Very minimalistic, but I think that makes it fit in with the vanilla backgrounds pretty well. Gives me VLDC vibes.

Besides the lava-falls, you could also add smoke coming off of the volcanoes. Could even be as simple as recoloured clouds.
