Yes, thank you. By the way I'm using that for the intro level, and I get the No Yoshi Intro prior to the actual opening text. Anyone know how to remove that?

Also I've included a switch palace on my Yoshi's Island submap, but I don't know how to set the event for that, or make sure that the block sprites that spread out after beating it are the right color (that color being yellow).

--------------------
Currently working on an SMW hack.

Go to and check the disable no yoshi intro option.


Certain submaps don't have that palette set for the switch palace tiles, so it will naturally be different except for the main map, Vanilla Dome and Bowser's Valley. You have to either a, include a path that leads to one of these maps, or b, change the palette for the switch palace tile you want through (highlighted here). By default, they use palettes 5 and 7, respectively.

Also, to make it get destroyed, select it and go to to set the corresponding event.

where can i find this icon in which gfx.bin?

That is a bullet bill shooter however that's not vanilla SMW but it's normally in GFX14.

How u make custom drawing/image as the level background?

Does anyone know the level addresses within Lunar Magic 3.21 for these stages?

- Valley Fortress

- The boss rooms for Iggy/Larry, Morton/Roy, Ludwig, Bowser & Reznor.

- Yoshi's House (Ending)

- Chocolate Island 2

I already have these ones:
- Start Area: Code 024
- Area when you collected +21 coins before: Code 0CF
- Area when you rushed through the previous one with 234-001 seconds on the timer: Code 0CE
- Goal Area when you collected 4 dragon coins: Code 0CD
I still need the addresses for the other 5 rooms, somehow Lunar Magic didn't dump them.

Valley Fortress is level 111.
The level numbers for the boss rooms are located here.
Yoshi's House is level 104 and set to show up in the credits by default.

Thanks, now I can strike Valley Fortress & Yoshi's House from my list.

Unfortunately, the boss rooms are not properly working (except Lemmy & Wendy):


How can I view them?

This is normal the majority of the boss rooms are mode7 and can't be edited in Lunar Magic

Actually you can partly modify the boss rooms to add sprites by changing the level mode through and then switching it back when you're finished.

So every room with Mode 7 elements, no matter how they are used (as stage, as boss, etc.), is unviewable in Lunar Magic? Okay, that's good to know.

This only leaves Chocolate Island 2, which should be normal levels. Is it possible to find the level numbers out somehow?

You can't as those rooms don't have any level number at all. The game merely does a loading hack to get the other Chocolate Island 2 levels. In fact, CI2 tends to break with custom levels so it's better to use an alternative.

--------------------
Okay, my layout looks ugly.

Ah, I'm not a hacker, but a sprite/map ripper. I don't want to edit levels, I just want to view and save them as PNG file. I'm currently creating maps from the entire game with the help of Lunar Magic, but Chocolate Island 2 is giving me a headache.

Btw I did some research, the arrangement of the enemies on the map from Stefan Mahrla looks like a view within Lunar Magic, but according to this super old thread on vgmaps, he couldn't render it and decided to get into the level and just map it manually (probably with ZSNES):
https://www.vgmaps.com/forums/index.php?topic=908.msg9993#msg9993

There my hopes go, looks like I have to use ZSNES & vSNES to get the stages done.

Aynway, thanks for your help.

Does anyone know off the top of their head how the SMW star works? I know it's very particular about which enemies you can rack up 1-ups from. I know chucks are a no no but what about fish and urchins?

Is there any uberasm to change how it works?

How do I determine what objects are/aren't affected by the "Layer 3 Smash" sprite?

The smash only affects Mario, nothing else.

--------------------
Okay, my layout looks ugly.

Ah, well, is there a way to use a "Layer 2 Smash" sprite and have a complex background? I'm trying to make a boss type level with smashing spikes that switch between some upper and lower platforms and a background that has some animated tiles, more than 4 colors and the flashing yellow that dragon coins use in it's pallet, and I was wondering if that's possible?
