NAME: Mario in the Lemmy Sea
AUTHOR: moltensnow
DESCRIPTION:
The sequel to the sequel! This hack contains awesomeness, a boring overworld, ExGFX, Music, Patches installed, hex edits, edited GFX, and awesomely hard levels.

---

REASONS FOR REMOVAL:

Again, no major errors here apart from being incredibly short.



The first level, while being only seven screens long, gets unnecessarily drawn-out due to having to wait around for the tides. And speaking of which, those tides don't really go with vertical scrolling.



I am reluctant to even call this a level. A six-screens-long underwater tunnel with autoscroll and a few Koopas, and then the goal? Really?



And then the goal doesn't even activate any event, so I can't continue on this path. Speaking of which, you have all the paths revealed from the start again, which is still misleading. And the overworld just goes on to show that this hack was completely rushed.



Not exactly a removal reason, but what is the point of these dolphins? They just keep jumping up until they get off-screen...



Bit of slowdown here due to all the fish.



Again, this is not what I would call an interesting level. Why not give your bosses proper castles?



This is why Lemmy usually has a ceiling to his room.

---

None of the stuff in the screenshots are really enough to remove this hack; the main culprit is (you guessed it!) the length, or rather lack of it. Four levels with an average of eight screens each + somewhat mediocre level design = time to invoke rule 4 again.

REASONS FOR REMOVAL:



Some garbage on the title screen due to overworld sprites. This post should help you get rid of it.



*Hello
*This
*You



*Not



*I

Also, that waterfall doesn't make very much sense. Where is the water falling from?



what



Why is there seaweed growing on the background hills?



So mirrored cement blocks aren't solid? That makes a lot of sense.



Bad FG initial positioning.







More non-solid cement blocks. Also stacked munchers are fsdsadfsadf



...don't you think this is a bit excessive for a bonus?



Seriously, these types of mazes are just annoying. At least this one was easy to solve, but that just makes it even more pointless.



So while I can walk on the blue outlines, I fall straight through the yellow ones? How was I supposed to know that?



And then the green ones turn into note blocks when I touch them. Arbitrariness much?



*You
*How



After beating the level, it seems like the Yoshi's Island 1 event triggers.



The secret submap (reached by using a Super Mario World .srm file to start out on the location of Yoshi's House, as alluded to in the message above) leaves a lot to be desired.



And so does the level itself: you can't even exit it once you enter it, and even if you could, there is no way to return to the main game, rendering the moon somewhat pointless. Why not have an overworld pipe or star bring you back to the actual levels?

This seems very much like a first-time hack. You should probably get a bit more hacking experience, and read the Hack Submission Guidelines (in particular rules 4 and 7b), before actually submitting a hack to this site.

NAME: ''Marios Search for the Orb of the Kings''
AUTHOR: Fr3akGamer
DESCRIPTION:
This is my first hack I release on SMWC. Its called ''Marios Search for the Orb of the Kings''

This is hack is very hard, but beatable without savestates. It includes lots of Sprites, Musics, Graphics and so on.

Story:
Mario is poor and wants to find the Orb of the Kings to sell it.

Whatever, just play it.

Thanks to all the nice people from SMWCentral. ;)

---

REASONS FOR REMOVAL:

The hack didn't have any big issue that was a direct reason for removal, but it did, however, have a lot of small things that added up. Nothing you should have any trouble fixing, though.



Trying to jump up after getting the big coin, I got nailed by an invisible coin block and fell into the hole. D:



Some cutoffness where the pipe meets the wall and midway point.



I realized too late that jumping up here to get the coin wasn't the greatest of ideas, and now I'm stuck to wait out the timer.



Might I interest you in the fade fix patch?







This hardly seems fair.



More than one Sumo Brother's lightning on the screen at the same time results in all sorts of sprite memory issues.



It's kind of hard to see in the screenshot due to the background, but the lava splash is glitched.



You never told me that black used blocks hurt me. D:



That rock could use a better palette.



*volcano
*erupting
*hurry

And this isn't a removal reason, but may I suggest changing the music for this part? Using the same track as for the rest of the level doesn't really inspire any particular urgency, and neither does the generous time limit.



Some cutoffness where the rope meets the ground.



*Cloudy





Some bad corner tiles here.



The bottom row apparently hurts me for some reason. Please place the munchers or whatever you have there one tile higher, so that you can see them and don't get hit unfairly.



You should probably make those walls visible, as getting crushed because you can't see what's blocking you is hardly fair.



Why is Lakitu suddenly everything-proof? I was very surprised when suddenly I got hurt while trying to jump on him, as opposed to in just about every other Mario game ever.



If I get hit and lose both my capes in this section (which is quite easy, due to how difficult it is), I have no way to move on and get crushed by the autoscroll.



And then we have some blatantly unfair stuff like insta-death by autoscroll if you choose the wrong path.



The easiness of this boss seems kind of out-of-place, considering how difficult the level was... Oh well, I'm not complaining.



More random munchers on the bottom row. Why not just use one of those blocks that Mario go through, but are solid to sprites?



But I have more than 30 coins! (hint: you should probably reset the coins in this room instead of the next)



These things don't seem like they should hurt me if I touch them from the side, but apparently they do.



Blind jump. Or, to more precise, blind fall, but whatever.



This event seems to be revealing tiles in the wrong order.





The solid or non-solid state of the pillars in this level is very, very inconsistent. All of them look like you should be able to pass in front of or behind them, but half the time this isn't the case. The problem is that there is absolutely no way to tell which of the pillars are solid.

And speaking of which, aren't those bridges supposed to be jump-through?



For whatever reason, stomped fish fall very slowly in this room.

Oh, and by the way, having to use the fish generator to get up to the teleport blocks was not a very nice gimmick. At all.



Quite a bit of slowdown here, due to all the bouncing spiky fish.



Somehow, both of the bosses got stuck in the left corner, and I had to use fireballs to get rid of them.



A new variation of a blind jump: If I don't jump on the Dry Bones when it's over on the right side of the platform, I can't reach the next ledge and fall to my death.



You might want to replace those Koopas with some fireproof enemies.



The difficult of this boss was very inconsistent. Most of the time, I could just stand in the corner and let the hammers sail over my head, but every now and then I got an unavoidable barrage of hammers to the face. I was just lucky that didn't happen more than twice.

Also, the B in "BOSS" is discoloured.



The line guide end is glitched in this tileset.



I assume there was supposed to be a blue or yellow Koopa up there, but it just kept refusing to spawn.



Weren't these platforms jump-through in Yoshi's Island?



I didn't encounter the glitch myself, so I don't know what it is, but it does sound like something that should be fixed before release. Try asking around in the forums - someone will most likely be able to help you.



It would probably be a good idea to give some sort of warning that the gimmick of this level is that you can jump indefinitely in mid-air, since the level name doesn't really give it away. (And speaking of which, what exactly does the level name have to do with the level, apart from the music? I never played a Megaman game myself, but I am fairly certain that he can't fly...)

Not pictured: The parts with pitching Chucks in two-tile-high gaps between pipes were a complete pain, and should probably be toned down. Especially when you added the autoscroll towards the end; that part was really difficult even with savestate abuse.



Even if you enter the balloon level as Big or Fire Mario, you still have the graphics of small Mario, making your hitbox kind of unintuitive. This only seems to happen in the first part of the level, though.



This thing just doesn't seem like it should be solid.



If I accidentally destroy the Koopa shell (like, for instance, getting hit by one of the homing bullets that are fired all over this level), I have no way of progression and no way to reset.



Same as above, except this time it happens when you don't bring a springboard down here.



This is not a very nice way to hide the only way onwards. After spending five minutes flying around all over this room and not finding anything, I had to resort to looking it up in Lunar Magic.



Randomly turning Mario invisible for one room without warning has to be one of the most unfair gimmicks I have ever seen.



That is not a good palette for Bowser, to say the least.



The RAM address used for the Muncher boss hitpoints counter is also used by the fireballs extended sprite, screwing it up whenever you shoot a fireball. It's easy to fix: just make the counter use an address that's actually unused.



And finally, Mario dies in the credits level after getting the goal, due to the auto-walk sprite not disappearing when you hit a goal sphere.

I noticed that your credits are lacking a Beta Testers section. Perhaps this could be why there's so many small errors left unnoticed before release? In any case, fix them and resubmit.

REASONS FOR REMOVAL:

Mostly a very well-made hack, but there was one quite big issue that keeps me from being able to accept it:



After the third level, your overworld starts glitching out quite badly. Since the hack didn't seem to contain any dynamic sprites, fixing this should be as simple as uninstalling the title screen movements recording ASM and then reinserting the overworld.

Apart from this, there was also a few other things I'd like to point out:



Why does Mario randomly start out that high up in the air?

(Also, I find it kind of ironic how a hack with such a ridiculously foreshadowing name doesn't have a story...)



I can access the first secret level and level 2 before even beating the first one.



It's easy to miss, but the very left part of the pipe top is glowing.



The parachuting Goomba turned pink when I stomped him for whatever reason.



I don't think I'm supposed to be able to get behind here. Just create a floor tile that acts like the slope assist tile and place it under the sand slope.



These things don't seem like they should be solid, as their interaction field with Mario is very odd compared to their graphics.



Might want to make those Blarggs not killable by sliding. Tweaker is your friend for stuff like this.

Lastly, this might just be me, but it would be nice if you varied your sprite usage a bit. Entire levels filled with just Blarggs, Monty Moles, and the occasional Goomba get a bit boring after a while.

REASONS FOR REMOVAL:



The palette for the file selection menu is kind of off. Also, instead of having Toad jump around offscreen, why not use the hex edit to disable the title screen movement altogether and get rid of the jumping sound?



*The princess
*Bowser
*on vacation
*the princess



Some of the not-yet-unlocked levels are already revealed, while others aren't. Try to have some consistency.



- Status bar palette is terrible
- Background is missing
- I can get inside the rock due to the slope lacking an assist tile below it



Seems like you forgot to get rid of some small pieces of Mario from GFX00.



The palettes for the shelless Koopas don't look too good either.



Since your Koopas are using the entire 16x16 tile for their heads, your jumping Piranha Plants get slightly messed up. Apply the Tile 83 Fix patch to fix it.



...I could understand the status bar being discoloured, but the goal tape?



*Fortress



That thing flashes between shelless Koopa and robot head thing when I stomp it. There should be a hex edit that fixes it.

Also, the 8-bit graphics in this level look incredibly out of place when compared to the Yoshi's Island graphics in your other levels, but that's not too big of a deal.



Any particular reason why my fireballs are replaced by bouncing snowballs in this level?



All those Koopa replacements create quite a bit of slowdown here.



Bad sprite memory settings make parts of the platforms disappear.



...or, in some cases, Toad himself.



Red-stemmed piranha plants are bad because they store the properties byte of the stem tile to the wrong address, potentially messing up the graphics of another sprite. Apply the fix patch.



Since you didn't place the proper tiles below these triangles, I have to jump at them at the exact right angle to get them to work.



The diagonal frames of Toad's wallrunning animation seem to be missing entirely.

This isn't too horrible a hack, but it still has quite a ways to go before it can get accepted. Most importantly, it is far too short: come back after finishing at least an entire world's worth of levels. Apart from that, I would also advice you to get some beta testers, and perhaps some proofreaders to fix your broken English.

NAME: A Plumber's Tale Demo 3
AUTHOR: Jeuda Cruxifis
DESCRIPTION:
More updates galore in this nifty little copy of the hack. Included now is a notepad file introducing a vague storyline of the demo (that won't be fully revealed until the final release) and a bunch of heartfelt credits to users who, without their creation and ripping of various graphics, music and creation of sprites and patches, this hack would not be where it is right now.

I do hope that this brings all of you much enjoyment as I have had during the creation of this demo. This might be the last demo released for a while, considering I have other things on my plate in terms of SMW ROM hacking.

Anyway, please enjoy the hack!

---

REASONS FOR REMOVAL:

Going directly to the most important thing for you to fix:



GAME OVER. PLEASE TO REINSERT COIN AND TRYING AGAIN.*shot*

It would seem like you set up the exit from the cutscene in the first castle wrongly: after it, you start out inside the wall and die instantly. Thus, I am unable to continue onwards in the hack.


And now for my usual big wall of less serious issues:



Due to bad overworld sprite placement, a glitched tile shows up while the circle is expanding. This post should be able to help you fix it.



The file selection menu is kind of unreadable with those palettes. And you might want to tone down the background and foreground ones while you're at it as well; they are just a bit too bright.



It would be nice if you had the level tiles hidden by default and then revealed them on the appropriate events.



This pipe palette is kind of messed up. It's supposed to be more of a smooth gradient.



This is less of a removal reason than something that has always bothered me about the SMB3 health patch: since flowers and capes don't heal you, it is impossible to get up to full health once you get hit. I would suggest placing a few mushrooms or blocks acting like the yellow switch block here and there in the levels.



You kept being very inconsistent with your entrances and exits. A pipe exit should lead to a pipe entrance, and not a door one.



Needs moar fading and less usage of status bar palettes.



I think something ate your layer 2 tilemap. Not too sure how to fix it, so just change the layer 2 vertical scrolling rate or something so you can't see it.



Bit of cutoffness here.



That pipe is just one tile too high for me to be able to jump high enough to get back up on it. I blame gravity.



Where did the bonus star numbers go?



You should probably make that Blargg not killable with star power. Or just get rid of it; it's not like it's any threat at all.



The palettes for everything in this screen (apart from the sprites and coins) are quite D:. The background in particular looks fairly horrible. Remember, most SMW foreground and background graphics are made to be used with gradient palettes.



The Buzzy Beetles don't look all too nice either.



Many Super Mario World sprites die every year due to missing body parts. However, YOU can make a difference! Use the correct sprite tile memory settings and save lives!



Stupid gravity, always dropping me into lava before I can react D:



This COURSE CLEAR screen seems... pretty odd, to say the least.



*imperative



Let's play a guessing game!

Question 1: What happened to that Goomba?

A) Mario got hungry and ate it
B) It spontaneously combusted
C) It disappeared due to bad sprite tile memory settings

If you guessed C, you win an imaginary cookie.



...okay, this doesn't even begin to make sense.



And I can swim back through the water barrier, and then skip the rest of the level by swimming over it.



Is this level not done yet? I mean, the building team are apparently still working on repainting those pipes...

And the Piranha Plants seem to have been unhappy about their current state of accommodation, since they all jumped offscreen and escaped.



Camouflage Cannons, the newest in airship defense! Get yours now for only $99,999!

(in all seriousness, you should probably have those cannons use a different palette, as their lack of outlines kind of clash with the rest of the foreground)



Nine out of ten representatives of the former Hell of Blazing Fires do not approve of this lava palette.



This foreground looks so odd and out of place that I can't even come up with a bad pun for it.



The colours! D:



Blind jump, and if you didn't bring the P-Switch, Mario has to spend the rest of his current life contemplating that leaving obvious puzzle items behind is stupid.



In a groundbreaking new experiment, Mario discovers that oil is only dangerous when applied to your feet. (aka you might want to use a custom kill block instead of a flipped lava tile)



...you know, even we hack moderators aren't stupid enough to need a reset pipe for carrying a P-Switch over a five-tile-wide hole. Especially when said P-Switch respawns even if you do manage to drop it.



I think those palettes would look quite a bit better if you had the main part of the land darker than the shadowing. Oh, and stuff like the tower that has transparency around it aren't meant to be placed on layer 2, since the colour behind said transparency depends on the background colour in the last level you played.







Oh wow. That is some messed-up perspective you have going on there... Here, let Yoshicookiezeus Terraforming™ help you with showing how this should look:







Remember, the cliff outlines should have the same shape at the top and bottom, and unless you add some slopes, the entire island or plateau should be the same height.



Someone seems to have been trusting their realtor a little bit too much... This doesn't really look like a manor at all. And it doesn't look all too nice either, what with all those cement blocks.



Bad FG initial positioning. It's hard to come up with anything interesting to say about these...



Either Mario just found the Pegasus Boots, or someone messed up their Map16. My bet's on the latter.



Just because they are dead doesn't mean that they deserve bad palettes D:



So I entered one of the level's many unmarked doors, and ended up in a room with no option but to exit to the side and start the level over. That isn't very nice, don't you think?



No, this isn't a case of bad sprite memory settings; look closely, and you'll notice the very faint form of a Boo beam. It's still not very fair, though.



Is this supposed to symbolize Iggy having a very bad PA system or something? Because the text is nearly unreadable with those palettes.

And lastly:





I would put that picture of Major Slowdown here, but I can't find it D:

In any case, your hack did have quite a bit of slowdown issues, and not just in the places depicted in the above four screenshots. You might want to consider applying the FastROM patch, or if that doesn't work due to incompatibilities with other stuff, just remove a few sprites from the affected areas.

Wall of bad jokes aside, this was a rather fun hack. The level design was pretty good, and I really enjoyed your writing in the cutscenes. Please fix the errors pointed out, and I'll gladly moderate the next version for you.

REASONS FOR REMOVAL:

Generic Youtube-class hack #265,791,035,246,591 is GO!









More grammar and less caps lock, please.



This is why the fireplace sprite should not be used in levels with more than one screen.



Below me is a combination of bottomless pits, flat land, and munchers. Problem: I have no way of telling on which of these I will land, since you didn't provide any sort of guide for me to follow. Trial-and-error gameplay is not something you should implement in your levels.



Don't tell me...



[insert ersanuke.jpg here]









Cutoffness all over the place. By far not the worst hack I have seen in that regard, but still fairly terrible.



...and if I didn't bring the blue P-switch at the start into the switch room, I'm stuck. How fair. And original, for that matter.



STACKED MUNCHERS



FLOATING MUNCHERS







AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*clears throat*

Root your munchers to solid ground, will you?





And which of this type of hack would be complete without a liberal application of glitched graphics?



This is what you get if you allow the player access to the right side of the big diagonal pipe. Take a look at how SMW did it.



Easy-to-get moons seem to fairly common in this sort of hack, but completely unavoidable ones? That's a first... Since a moon is quite a substantial reward, they should be well hidden.



What?



Oh. How incredibly clever of you.[/sarcasm]



Lava should be red, not orange and turquoise.



Tides and vertical scrolling don't go well together, unless you insert the custom sprite that fixes the issue.



Ducking and spamming the jump button is so much fun! Except it isn't.



It is probably the least of your problems, but you forgot to edit this message.



Apart from the earlier mentioned glitched graphics and cutoffness, your castle is also plagued by sprite tile memory errors. Setting 0E ought to fix it.



And finally, you shouldn't allow access to the original SMW after your hack is over.
