Woah! Day one! By the way, will be there a Special World?

Yes, there will be. I think wye did say that somewhere before.

Have you thought about updating the graphics of the main character? Vanilla Mario somehow doesn't go well with the new great bg and fg.
Nice boss by the way.

Yours sincerely,

Yeah, kinda weird that everything had an overhaul graphically except for Mario.

Time for the final battle! It's been a lot of work and I procrastinated quite a bit more than I should have, but I'm finally getting somewhere.

Bowser is on layer 2 here, with the animated parts being sprites, and it took a while to get the movement both smooth and bug-free. Now that I've got the basic mechanics set up, all I need to do is add a hurt condition and build some more of the battle arena (this won't be all of it).

We're still somewhat far from the hack's completion, but we're nearing the part where I might not want to show off too much more of it to keep at least some parts a surprise.

Is this the last thing you did? I want to do this hack as soon as soon as possible.

The King's Bauer's fire cannon must have been well-made to attack.

Mario vs. Bauer has a very nice background picture, and it's very simple because it shows impressive fun and effect. If you think about the difference, I remember when the original last boss, Bouser, dropped the ball and attacked it.

It was created on a stage that was perfect for hacking names than before and it looked amazing to have seen screenshots like that. Also, Mario's trip, which has a small enemy, has a long way to go, so it's much different than the mid-term standard that you can pass if you can complete it.

How is it listed above all else when you remove activities with a level of difference?

I love you! I'm a girl.

As it snows, the atmosphere is very unstable and lightning keeps hitting me. ㅠㅠ

I like the cartoon character of the girl the most.

This place will update photos every month.

Time and time again in this thread WYE has stated that he will not update Mario's graphics, and has given various reasons why.

That Bowser boss looks incredible btw, though I am surprised you showed it off considering it feels like a spoiler. Still though, he looks absolutely menacing with his new (not so) clown car. Well done!

Want progress on 100 Rooms of Enemies: The Nightmare Edition? Go here to see.

Damn that Bowser looks sick! I'm honestly feeling a little intimidated

allow shy guy emojis in post footers you cowards!

Thanks for all the replies!

Thought about it a lot, yeah, but it's not going to happen. (thanks Daizo)

I still have a lot of work to do. Maybe it will be finished in Summer.

I don't mind spoilers a lot myself, but for the sake of everyone else maybe I should be taking that into account? I guess I'm counting on the fact that in the grand scheme of things not very many people are looking at this thread. Either way, there's a bit of content left, some of which I might manage to keep a secret.

Thanks, and I'm sure you could whip up something like this in no time! It's really just your run-of-the-mill layer 2 chase sequence; the only interesting thing I think is the artwork and the movement. It's not that technically impressive, but I'm content knowing it seems that way. $#ab{^^;;;}$

holy shit WhiteYoshiEgg! did you say your works in summer has finised?! how was amazing !! so i'm looking forward to seeing you can show in the C3 competition

amassed over six years, yes, and a fair amount of it must have been me.

I couldn't help but reveal the visuals of a special world level on Discord the other day so I might as well post it here too (but, point somewhat taken, in spoiler tags):

Wow, those clouds are practically photo-realistic. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this on the SNES before. Good work!

Everytime I visit this forum I'm out of words ... very impressive work!

So excited for the release! I really hope that porting to SA-1 isn't a big deal ...
Good luck for the rest of your journey WYE

Thanks, I'm glad you're looking forward to it!

Also welp, here's another thing I couldn't resist showing off in public.

This is the last level I'm building for this hack, and not counting graphical overhauls, it's also the last bit of visuals I had left to make for it.

I'm really happy with how it came out! This was another one of those levels that I've been envisioning for years and it turned out pretty close to how it looked in my mind, so things worked out really well. I'm glad I was able to end things on a high note, visually.

I've seen some good progress so far (if only I worked on my hack on daily base). I love the idea of an all-season-themed castle.

Decided to post here just now when I saw that silhouette sunset level. The clouds on this background look so realistic and what I like about the ground is that it isn't plain black as I've usually seen in levels like this. It seems very likely it's gonna be released relatively soon. It would be a shame if you lost all this stunning stuff right when you were finishing off your hack.

This is gonna be one of the best hacks ever made!

I have a Discord server as well! (by joining, you agree to the rules)

Thanks, glad you like it!

For all intents and purposes we're actually on the home stretch now - right now I'm implementing the final features and handing them out to testers, and after that it's a matter of refining level design and palettes, adding music, and porting everything to SA-1.

Notice how I didn't say "only" in the last sentence, because I don't know yet how big of a task that will be. I can only hope that it'll all go smoothly enough, and that I'll manage it in time for summer C3. Wish me luck if you feel it'll help!

Also, here's the last public visual I posted on Discord a few days ago, showing a slight update to the sunset background and the level's slightly dizzying gimmick.

I found myself staring at that GIF for almost a full minute wondering why it evoked such a weird feeling within me until I realized that it reminded me of spending hours on those "scrambler" rides at amusement parks. Very dizzying indeed.

The aesthetics of this level are absolutely brilliant, as usual. The silhouette vibe could not fit more perfectly.

Loving your level design and also your successful effort to make brilliant visuals as usual, WYE. I'm especially enjoying that silhouette vibe from your latest level.

Would it be possible to make Mario a silhoutte as well, so that he doesn't look out of place?

Thanks everyone!

Yep, that's the plan.

I had a plan and this one stopped "Lightning Mario". So I deleted this hack.
