Hack Name: SMW PlATFORMING And 1-UP TRIVIA
Length: 2 levels
Author: DragonX123 - Submitted by: DragonX123
Description: A Hard PLatforming SMW Hack(Demo)
--------------------------------------------
My Short Review:
Sorry to say this but this has got to be the most BORING hack I've played.
--------------------------------------------
Reasons:

What's the point with all these Yoshi coins? Speaking of which....


...The Yoshi coin right next to be gets cut-off because it's on the sub boundary line, if a Yoshi coin is on the sub boundary line it gets cut-off.


This is what I did for 99% of the level.


This was the 1% that didn't involve koopa jumping. Also the ground is cut-off because you didn't add corner ledges.


When I enter these levels I die, why not block them off so I can't enter the level?
---------------------------------------------------
Conclusion:
This hack is just bad as there was no point toward it and it was repetitive. Also DO NOT submit 1 level DEMOS as there is no point to them, submit a demo when you have at least 5 levels minimum. Finally, play some featured hacks to get an idea on what makes a good level.

Hack Name: A Super Mario World Hack (World 1 Demo)
Length: 6 levels
Author: MetalLuigi - Submitted by: MetalLuigi
Description: I am new to smwcentral, and this is a demo of the first world of my first hack. This is mainly a vanilla hack except for a few slightly modified enemies, and a yoshi house with a different pallete. Please rate & review, and give constructive criticism.
---------------------------------------------------
My Short Review:
The hack was okay, but there are problems that need fixing.
---------------------------------------------------
Reasons:

The "W1 demo" text gets cut-off because of the Mario slot thing, move the text up one tile so it doesn't get cut-off.


Cut-off because of edge of that corner is on the corner of a ledge, don't put corner ends on top of other corners because it will look cut-off.


This don't make sense because the overworld is a grassland theme but when I enter Yoshi's house it's a winter them. Change it so it's a grassland and so it makes sense.


The end of the rope is cut-off because it's connected to the pipe. Note that about everything will be cut-off if it's connected to a pipe. (A pipe that has SMW graphics that is)


Not a removal reason but the mushroom looks odd.


The vines are cut-off at the top.


The area with the intersecting pipes make cut-off.


Blatant level 14 edit. Blatant level edits aren't allowed.


Block off the bottom of the diagonal pipe so the player can't go in it.


Bad corner tile. This might have occurred because you put the corner edge tile on part of the FG.


Cut-off. The cement blocks make the ground cut-off and at the end of these slopes they are cut-off because the corner tile is missing.


That mole gets stuck in the pipe, fix that.


Refer to the screenshot above the previous one.


Missing corner tiles on the ledge I'm standing on.


Blind jumps in these areas. Put coins to lead the way.


Missing corner tile between the lava ledge thing.


I'm not sure if a raft was supposed to spawn, but if it was it didn't spawn and I had to spin jump off the Blargg's to get to the springboards on the wall which is a no. =( Also, the ledge below the lava has a bad corner tile, then again, it never had a corner tile for the lava so take out that ledge.


Blind jumps. -.-


The cement blocks make the water cut-off.


The corner is bad. That's because the corner uses the mushroom platform tile. Use a cement block as a corner so it doesn't really look bad.


The end rope is cut-off because of the pipe.


Wrong sprite header.
----------------------------------------------------
Conclusion:
These errors should be easy to fix, fix them and this will most likely be accepted.

This hack does not have any custom sprites or levels. It does have custom overworld map and storyline. Wait for later versions if you want to see my custom levels. Please rate the overworld map and storyline for this hack.

---

Some things wrong here. The left and right borders don't look the best, 'CHRISTIAAN' has a bad palette, and "THE RIFT" looks bad overall. If you aren't going to draw new graphics for your title screen, stick to the default letters on the left side of the 8x8 window (they don't have black around them).


*Bowser's
*alter,
*arrived,
*retreated


I see you have an RPG overworld; however, you didn't apply the hex edits needed to make it correctly. I believe there are three edits you need to make. One to disable the beeping noise, one so you can hold the direction you want to go in instead of pressing it a billion times, and another one so that Mario doesn't always face forward after landing on a tile.


*Peach
It seems your message cuts off here. You will have to shorten the message so that it all fits into a message box.


*What?
*Maybe
Again, the message is too long, so it cuts off.


Ouch, my eyes. The white is just too bright. Let alone the green is pretty bad against it, too.



The rest of the game was original Super Mario World levels with edited palettes. I know you said you haven't made levels yet, but that's basically the point of having it submitted to the site.

---

The storyline was nice, I liked the idea that Mario starts at Bowser's Castle, then goes out to chase him. The overworld needs some work, however. You only used about half of the map, and it was all at one altitude. Palette was meh too. If you want more criticism, upload your IPS to 'My Files', and link it to other people in a thread (don't forget to give screenshots!). You can submit again once you have made some levels.

Have a nice day.

It's been a long time. How have you been?

Portal 2 references aside, I am back to moderating hacks, and I will start back up again with three quick removal logs.


Hack Name: Bowser Jr in “left alone”
Length: 96 exits
Author: deedeedeechu
Description: Why did everyone leave him?
______________________________________________________________________

This hack isn’t really a new hack of its own. There were graphical changes regarding the powerups and the player (Bowser Jr.), a changed name in the status bar, and a few changes regarding messages, but otherwise, it was the same as SMW. When creating a hack to submit, please make your own, unique hack rather than a clone of another game. We do not want to replay through “XYZ” adventure again with only minor graphical and story changes.



Because of your name being too long, it invades the space that is used by the Dragon coin counter in the status bar. It should be something shorter, such as “B. Jr.”



Your Fire “Mario” palette is a bit awkward. If you use those graphics for something else, you may wish to adjust that properly.






And here’s just a little evidence of the unchanged levels.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hack Name: Mario Legacy
Length: 7 levels
Author: DragonX123
Description: An Easy Rom Hack
______________________________________________________________________

This hack wasn’t considerably as bad as many other hacks I have played in the past; however, I feel that there is still much more effort needed to be put into this hack for it to be successful. Many of the levels, despite being new levels, still had a feeling of “level edits.” I’d advise personally that you change the backgrounds a bit (not really required or anything) and follow the changes pointed out in this removal log.



Never put tiles on the bottom row of Lunar Magic that you expect the player to see! You cannot see that row, so it would be unfair to the player if it is required to proceed. Or, in this scenario, it just looks strange.



The palettes for the Start Select screen and the subtitle under “Super Mario World” look odd. It would be advised that you fix them in the palettes for the title screen level so that they appear better to the eye.



Generally, although there is an invisible block there, it is not advisable to put Mario in a situation where he could die in the intro level. If he does die, that could potentially mess up the life counter and give you undesirable values. Also, do not use excuses for incorrect graphics. More on that later.



This isn’t anything major, but you forgot to capitalize the “t” in the last sentence of this message.






When using sprites in your levels, do not allow them to look like this! There is no reasonable way to justify glitched up graphics, and it poorly reflects upon you. Adjust the sprite GFX used in the level so that none of your sprites appear incorrectly. If needed, you can do something such as making an individual room for a goal sphere if changing the sprite GFX messes up another sprite’s appearance.



You placed the branching platform in a way that creates another cutoff tile. Please move it so that it does not generate any cutoff tiles.





These were three levels in particular that I was referring to in the beginning of this removal. They look and feel similar to the original, and I felt that I should put an emphasis on changing these levels a bit more. The other levels showed similarities as well, but they weren’t as similar. In the second screenshot, I just wanted to point out that you spelled “receive” as “recieve” and that you replaced proper punctuation with a comma between “Block” and “you.” Within the last screenshot, you did something to make a random tile appear in the message. You should adjust that so that does not appear any longer.



Sliding Blue Koopas are able to go through walls sometimes. You may wish to move it so that it will not do so with these walls or adjust the land appropriately.



If you fail the challenge of spin-jumping off of the turnblocks, you have to swim back to the beginning. The main issue with that would be the unseen row of munchers on the bottom row. They will hurt you if you do not constantly swim. Also, you should not place a message block in a level with Layer 3. When you open the message, it removes Layer 3, making it nearly impossible to get back to the start of the level without dying in the occasion that you fall.



The concept of pits that Mario cannot escape naturally is typically not a wise idea. It is much better that you placed springboards in theses pits, but there is always the risk of one being thrown out of a pit. This isn’t a horrible issue, though.





That is just a bit unfair. Yes, you did “reference” to it in the message block, yet it did not tell you to avoid falling where there are no invisible solid tiles. You may want to point that out in the message.



It would be nice to tell the player where the end of the demo lies for their benefit. You could change the of the level to “End of Demo” and prevent entering the level, or you could allow entrance if you have side exits enabled (without Yoshi’s chimney being visible). Again, this isn’t particularly a big deal.

Hack Name: Small Mario Monster
Length: 5 levels
Author: deedeedeechu
Description: Small mario Gains a new ability! he is a moster only when he's small
______________________________________________________________________

This hack, similar to your other removed hack, did not change all too much from the original SMW. All that was really changed were the graphics for small Mario, and not all of those graphics were changed. Other than that, this hack is a carbon copy. Once again, there is no need for a re-run of SMW with their only being new Mario graphics.





Those were all of the unique graphics for small Mario that I had noticed in the first few levels. They all had an “ugly” yellow palette to boot. Please make it look pleasant.




Some frames for small Mario were not edited, and Super Mario was abandoned altogether.





Lastly, here are just a few screenshots of unedited levels.

Reasons

1. Do not upload hacks made by others! It's up to the hack author to decide if they'll upload a hack here or not.

2. This doesn't even seem to be the full version. >_>

3. You submitted this twice, so of course I'm removing the other submission as well.

Hack Name: Persus: A Toad Adventure

This is a short diversion-hack I made in my spare time. It has no plot, beyond a Toad setting out on an adventure.

This hack is mostly vanilla, but it contains custom music, written by me. Any further credits are contained in the enclosed text file.

(Moderators, this hack contains a song I submitted for the SMWCI's fifth round. Please delete this text if the hack passes.)
______________________________________________________________________

For the most part, there were not many issues with this hack that I had noticed. I myself enjoyed it, especially the "exploration" feel, but there are a few things that should be fixed.



Your Overworld palette is not exactly "appealing." You may wish to adjust it so that is looks slightly better and get opinions from others.



Because of the large amount of sprites on screen here, there is some slowdown. This isn't a major problem; just remove one or two of the sprites if that makes it better.



In this underwater portion, I am able to get under your land masses. Just put a solid edge beneath them to prevent this from happening.





You have the incorrect sprite index set for this "nether-world" area. Please set it so that these sprites do not "cutoff" or partially disappear.

After you fix those errors, just resubmit it, and I would be glad to approve it.

Hack Name: Super Mario Lost in Monochrome Land (V2.61)
Length: 12 levels
Author: El Santo
Description:
First,Please remove the older version,because this corrects some very little bugs...

Mario is lost in a black and white world,and don't know why...
Find the way to understand!


Changes since 2.60:
Some little palette changes.
2 graphical bugs in "koopa's marshmallows"(goal point too short & midway point reappearing after death)
switch in "into monochrome".
A screen exit,somewhere...
(Some very little changes in the levels too...)
I think this is a good version.
______________________________________________________________________

From the very little bit that I had played in this hack, I would say that is doing alright up to this point. The level design wasn't horrible, and I did like how you were going for a black and white theme for the hack...





...However, this was my halting place. In the second level, you placed some "?" mark blocks, a koopa lacking a shell, and this ramp setup. It would appear that you either meant for me to get a feather from a block or have the koopa kick an absent shell. The pipe that the ramp leads to only resets the level, so there was no way for me to proceed. This was the main reason this hack was removed, but there were some other reasons, too.



You may wish to revise that to read, "Amazing! Everything here is black and white! I have to find my way and discover what happened!!!"



When the lakitu glides into that hallway, it causes sprites to disappear and overall slowdown. Either change the sprite memory so this doesn't occur, or you may place the sprite generator that ends other sprite generators before that hallway.



Change the term "that" to "this," add a comma between "world" and "or," and make the "a" in "Am" lowercase.



Last but not least, please adjust the palette of your pipes in this level. They hurt to look at compared to the other palettes.

BIG FAT EDIT: The new version of Monochrome Land was released containing a new title screen while I was writing this post. It is not different in any way other than that new screen, so I shall be removing it as well. Sorry for any trouble.

Reasons

This isn't the worst hack I've ever played, but you still have quite a long way to go. Here's what you need to fix:


I recommend not using the letters with a black box around them; use the ones with outlines instead. Also, there's an unnecessary black line next to the W.


*I (instead of i)
*I'm (instead of Im)
*Full paw print (instead of a cut-off one)


The ground is slightly cut off by the pipes. Use edge tiles here.


Your levels tend to look a lot like the original ones in some places. Sometimes, all you really did was add munchers and Koopas, which honestly is a pretty cheap way to make your levels harder. I highly recommend pressing Ctrl+Del before making a level for a fresh start, and thinking of more ways to make your levels challenging.


Block the right side of the pipe so this doesn't happen.


You're giving away far too many moons. About one per world is more than enough. Also, make sure to hide them well instead of putting them in plain sight.
(Also, in the first screenshot, the berry cuts off the bush a little.)


More berry cutoff. Also, what's with the black lines in the ground? The easiest way to get rid of them would be to cover them up with walk-through dirt.


This isn't a removal reason, but messages like this at the start of each level aren't really necessary.


Some sprite tiles disappear, along with loooots of slowdown. To get rid of the slowdown, erase most sprites (they make this part utterly annoying anyway), which should also fix the tiles disappearing.


You shouldn't use single Bullet Bills without generators and shooters they come out of. Here, they don't play a sound when they appear, so it's hard to tell they're coming.


Placing coins over blocks that spwan something will result in this when they're hit.


And placing Yoshi/Dragon Coins on sub-screen boundaries will result in this. Press F2 to view them, and make sure no Yoshi/Dragon coins are crossing a horizontal line.


Although the munchers here aren't really floating, hitting the turn blocks below them will make them look like they do. Replace the turn blocks with cement blocks or something.


The note block has glitched graphics in this tileset. You can change the sprite GFX header using the blue poison mushroom button, but since that will scren up the ghost sprite graphics, I suggest you just get rid of this block altogether.


Wrong corner tiles below Mario.



It's still possible to access original SMW levels. I suggest you replace these with one-screen levels that you can exit without dying (using a side exit, for example.)

---

Overall, this wasn't too bad, but you still have to improve on some things. Your level design (although it's okay the way it is now) could also use some work - get some inspiration from other's hacks, maybe? (Don't just blatantly steal the level design of course, just let them inspire you and give you some ideas.)

Also, I'm gonna recommend you the same thing I recommend to pretty much everyone: Please read the Hack Submission Guidelines and perhaps also watch this video to get an idea of what's acceptable and what's frowned upon here.

Since I'm always seeing blatant level edits in the hack removal log, I thought I'd delete all the levels myself! Newbies can just patch this to the Super Mario World ROM and never worry about blatant level edits again. It also has a 100% cleared overworld.

This is not something that would belong in the hacks section. Besides, there is already an xkas patch that will do basically the same thing.

Have a nice day.
