Super Galaxy World [Demo + Music]

NO! STOP! Before you go on, know that this hack contains no fancy gravity tricks like the original Super Mario Galaxy. If the title mislead you, please spam a mod with complaints. Thank you.

*ahem* Anyway, this is my first hack (depending on how you define first). It is based off of Super Mario Galaxy, in that I'm trying to make it Super Mario World with Super Mario Galaxy themed locations, storyline, etc. So the first world is a grassland (ala the Good Egg and Honeyhive galaxies), the second world contains low gravity platforming and a futuristic-y space-y type level (like the Space Junk and Battlerock galaxies), and the third world contains tropical levels and eerie levels (inspired by the Beach Bowl and Ghostly galaxies).

There really are no ASM hacks, because, like I said before, I'm trying to make this as feel as close to Super Mario World as possible. However, I eventually gave in and included the Star Spin, which you can preform in the air by pressing A. (Small note: Mario's luma decided to glitch up last minute so I had to remove him; he still makes a sound, you just can't see him.)

As of now, it has a few custom sprites, some custom blocks, some ExGFX, and a handful of minor ASM hacks, for anyone who cares. It also has some custom music, but the levels I've shown don't have any because I've been too lazy to port the Good Egg Galaxy music, and music for any other part of Super Mario Galaxy is hard to come by.

Expecting screenshots? TOO BAD. WALUIGI VIDEO TIME.

And now, I present a download of a 4 level demo. Patch it to a clean ROM.[/obvious]

Super Galaxy World Demo and Custom Music

Also included in the download (as you can see in the title) is a selection of custom music I've made; some of them I'd like to think are pretty good, but you'll have to decide for yourself. If you don't have an SPC player on hand then there is a fifth level in the demo that you can play that has all the music included with the exception of one.

Finally, because I added the star spin so late into the game, if there are any level-breaking applications that you guys can find, I'd like to know.

Happy C3!

Well, the lack of music is really because of the lack of available MIDIs online. I can't compose a song to save my life. As for the graphics, my drawing skills are about as good as my composing skills.

Essentially, I just want it to play like Super Mario World. The closer it looks to Super Mario Galaxy the better.

And thanks for the comments, everyone!

ExGFX is your friend.



I took a quick look, the only graphics they had were a few Mario and powerup texture rips, and the only thing in terms of a tileset was...not that great. I'll definitely keep an eye out, though, because I completely agree with you on the graphics/music thing.

Fixed your quote for you.

Yeah, I was thinking about that; I will use it a bit, but I'm leaning on the side of caution because I can already tell that it is going to be an overused feature.

I'm assuming that that comment was sarcasm and will treat it as such.

All I'm really saying is that, while flipping gravity is a lot of fun, if it is used too much, be it in one hack or on 50 collectively, then it loses its charm. Of course I'll use it, and I already have some ideas for how to have some fun with it, but it would become boring fast if I used it in every single level, hence why I'm being a bit careful with how I use it.
