[SMBX2 B4] Super Mario Zeal - C3 Summer 2022 Demo (1.6 "Rising")

Non-Super Mario WorldWork in ProgressDemoScreenshotsVideos


Hello once again everyone! I am back for another C3 and a lot has changed in the SMBX scene since the previous C3, mostly on the polish side of things but the first glimpses of world 6 is in this demo and Wario will be joining the main roster of Super Mario Zeal soon, but you'll have to unlock him after a boss fight (which hasn't been made yet).

Likewise I think this project of mine is in a good state, and to think I've been working on Super Mario Zeal for over two years at this point, I will most likely take a brief mini-hiatus after this project; I have a sister project in Zelda Classic I will also be showcasing in it's own thread later on. But enough talk, have at you!

King Bowser has teamed up with King Wart and King K. Rool in a new alliance known simply as "The Rotten Regents". Together these Kingly Konquerers have stolen and scattered the power stars for their own (as of yet unknown) diabolical ends. It it now up to Mario and his friends to recollect the scattered Powers Stars, discover what the Rotten Regents are up to; and put an end to their sinister scheme!

Donkey Kong Country 1 Palm Trees, courtesy of ElectroSpriteMaker
*on a similair note, all the golden banana level exits in world 2 has had their graphics updated to

*a critical bug in 2-Factory: Fireball Furnace where the Neckies cause the level to crash has been fixed.

*Boothoven, the world 3 boss has been polished up a bit presentation-wise.
*a new achievement has been added for defeating Boothoven
*the Renzor fight in 3-Fort: Garrison Gauntlet has been fixed and overhauled a little

*a nerf bat has been taken to H1-Fort: Shoomperior Starfort final segment.
Getting that secret exit should be slightly easier now.

Great stuff man,

I particularly enjoy the gifs in which Mario faces Mario puppets, and in which Wario is on beach. On Wario, what's up with the color cycle?

Also Rotten Regents is a cool name, nice coming up with that.

I think you can add the Screenshot and Video tags to your thread,

cheers!
@Qantuum: Thank you. I can't say I know what's going on with Wario's colours but I assure you that he will have a more appropriate and fitting appearance in the future. Also I didn't come up with the name, A relative of mine did; also thank you for catching that oversight, I have gone back and added the missing tags.




Looks very promising from the screenshots! I am looking forward to this project!
Thank you HengShao. I think your works are impressive too and I think I said as much in your thread.




I'm not big on the SMBX scene, but I do like what I see here. It's a big variety of stuff from across all kinds of games, but it doesn't feel like a big asset flip or something. They're very cohesive visually, so great job with that!

I think that's just the gif itself being unable to handle so many colors. Wario's schnoz is just an unfortunate victim.


Other Submissions of mine!
@Deeke: On the subject of the Wario GIF. Yeah, that's precisely it.
Also I'm glad you like what you have seen.




I wish to thank you all for coming to this and my other thread during this summer's expo.




Like the previous demos, this one is amazing.
Also, hello everyone. I'm one of SMZ's contribuitors, ElectroSpriteMaker (but please, call me electro-kun.)
This project is very promising, and I bet it'll be on the list of "Best SMBX Episodes" (...this list doesn't exist, but pretend that it exists ok? ^w^).
For those who didn't played yet, I highly recommend.
