Mario is Missing! - Beta updated 9-22

Standard

There are some indications of upside-down-ness that weren't captured in the screenshots. For example, upside-down chandeliers can be seen when you're in a flipped room. I derived the inspiration for the gimmick from Fawful's Funhouse in SMW2+3.

Here's a video of the level in action.

I think my point still stands though. Making more stuff look flipped in upside down rooms would be a nice touch.
But sure, if you are happy of the result so far, then keep it as it is.
@Gamma V: Nice Ghost House level you have here! I like the idea when you hit the blue block, you go upside down or right side up in that level! Is this level going to have a secret exit?
It won't, but the next one will.

I think the level with secret exit seems to be created

5-5 - Shifty Shrooms


Green mushrooms are scale lifts like the ones in Butter Bridge 1.


This level uses the same special auto-scroll that Donut Plains 2 used. Mushrooms with a yellow top are on Layer 2 and move up and down. You also have Fire Chomps to worry about.


Very close to the end now. This level was harder to make than I anticipated. If I placed sets of Scale Mushrooms too close together, there'd be HDMA flicker, slowdown, or both. The final product sill has some of the flicker, which is apparently caused by NMI overflow. I tried applying MarioE's NMI Fix patch, but that actually crashed the game.

I don't like how the silhoute mushrooms in the background have no value, yet the clouds that are further away have value.

Either add value/shading similar to the clouds to the mushrooms or remove the value/shading from the clouds to emulate distance.
4-6: Looks interesting, though that Blooper looks very difficult to get past. I actually like the background, though I wouldn't say no to a Layer 3 effect either behind it or in front of the foreground.
4-7: Pansers do not work that way! Er, questionable custom sprite coding accuracy aside, the level seems decent enough (you'd think more people would use Pansers, especially in jungle levels), and the background gradient is pretty.
4-Castle: I like the design and looks of this.

5-1: Indeed, it does look like the difficulty is starting to ramp up. I worry about that many Hammer Bros. in one level (reminds me unpleasantly of 8-3 in SMB1), but I'd have to try the level myself to say for sure.
5-2: I think I already told you what I thought of this one on Skype.
Blue Switch Palace: Uh...it's a switch palace and it's blue?
5-3: Seems fine, but the music you used sounds way too "happy" for the setting (given it's a nighttime level, or at least twilight).
5-4: Nice music choice. I think the foreground aesthetics are a bit dull for the theme aside from the crystal decorations, but the level's not bad.
5-Ghost House: You know, there are still more things you could turn upside-down, such as the question-mark blocks (ExAnimate them). I do like the gimmick, though. Pity there's no easy way to make an entire level using Mode 7, no?
5-5: Neat idea using that auto-scroll sprite that way, though I would suggest giving the player more to do during the slower parts of the level (for instance, around 1:45 in the video).

I'm working on a hack! Check it out here. Progress: 64/95 levels.
Shifty Shrooms level is amazing! I like it very much!

What item can I find in E.Gadd's hut?

Also, the moutain fortress is waiting to be constructed...

@ForthRightMC: It's a Feather. I didn't get a screenshot, but that level is finished. It's not too different from all the others aside from the different background palette, character, and message.

5-FORTRESS - BLACKOUT BASTILLE


Luckily, Luigi brought a flashlight. Mario always forgets those things whether he's with Luigi or not.


Pendulum Ball 'N' Chains


Ninjis are here too.


Even Boom-Boom's room is dark.

Spooky Fortress level, great otherwise! Luigi doesn't fear the dark as he used to!
I like this level, dark and spooky. In case very good work.

If I keep going at the rate I'm going, I could get the finalized version of this out well before Christmas. I now have only 3 more levels to complete to finish World 5. After that, only two Worlds remain.

5-6 - MINE YOUR MANNERS!


Yep, it's another mine with another miner pun name.


No mine level is truly complete without Diggin' Chucks.


One more A-Coin to go!

Mine your manners level is so cool, and I know that the music used for this mine level is "Cave theme" by mariomaniac444.

Chucks also fit for this underground level, especially from other game - SML3 Tatanga's Return. I beta-tested it and played the released version. I think I will beta-test this hack before it's complete, and after it's submitted, I'll play released version, but there is still more levels to construct.

Which koopaling will be in World 5? I know that Iggy, Morton, Wendy and Roy were used earlier, and Lemmy, Larry and Ludwig are still left.

@ForthRightMC: It's actually the underground theme from Yoshi's Island, and the boss will be Ludwig.

5-7 - I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!


No, it's not Sonic, but it is a blue hedgehog. I couldn't resist the reference.


Yep, it's those hedgehogs from Yoshi's Island. When they puff up, you can't stomp on them and Yoshi can't eat them. Better take them out while they're still small.


So many hedgehogs!


Good thing I pushed the Blue Switch.

I actually streamed the development of this level.

PART 1
PART 2
There are silent parts due to the music I had in the background being copyrighted.

I hate that Hedgehog level seems fantastic! Good thing this level is based on Harry the Hedgehog and some the sprite were used in this level. Only 1 normal level and Ludwig's castle to complete. If only they will be...

It's gonna take a long time if Gamma V finishes next level. I also remember the theme of last 2 worlds: world 6 - sky themed, world 7 - fire/ice themed, like was in hailfire zone of Evil Conquest 1.

Haven't checked the W.I.P. thread a few days ago, but boy, I Hate That Hedgehog! looks preeeetty good! I also loved the previous levels, too. Naisu!

Gamma V I'm really impressed for these levels, but have you finally finished 5-8 and 5-Castle?

I didn't finish the castle yet, but I did just finish 5-8. I got sucked into a little black hole of a game called Secret of Mana.

Here's a Twitch stream video of part of the level's development.

5-8 - Have a Blast!


This level introduces Bullet Bros. They're having a blast.


Now the Bob-Ombs have arrived, so YOU can have a blast. Be careful around the gray blocks though. Bob-Omb explosions will destroy them.


Just like Sledge Bros, these Giant Bomb Bros create tremors when landing from a jump, making you an easier target for their explosives.
