I'm back from a long, real-life induced rom hacking hiatus. I had been hoping to get a hack demo out for C3, but it came earlier than I was expecting and there just wasn't enough time.

Still, I thought I should put something out there so I present the Modern Spiny Pack

Download

This pack contains a custom sprite spiny that behaves similar to the NSMBWii/NSMBU Spiny and a patch that will make Spiny Eggs thrown by Lakitus turn into the custom Spiny rather than the default SMW Spiny. If you wanted to, you could also make the Spiny Eggs turn into any other custom sprite and do something weird like that.

It also contains a second patch that will remap Buzzy Beetle tiles to allow Buzzy Beetles and Spinys to exist in the same level. Like so...



It's fairly simple code, but hopefully it will be quite useful. I know I've always found it annoying that SMW wouldn't let you place Buzzys and Spinys in the same level. Enjoy.

Very cool. I had always wanted a patch like this that would allow custom Spinies from SMW's Lakitu. The New Spinies and the Buzzy "compatability" patch are a tasty bonus. Great work!

If I moderated your hack, there was apparently a 90 percent chance it was rejected.

Thanks.

It's a fairly small bit of code, but it's something I needed to do and it's always good to have something to show for C3.

Honestly, I'm surprised no one did anything like this before... Atleast with the Beetle remapping anyways.
