[1-level hack] 8-Bit Mario World - Desert Mario [v1.3 released]

I have made a 1-level hack. This hack is based around Mario and Luigi in a desert.

I love those graphics, especially the playable Mario.

This is what you mean, right? Going by the top the level's purpose of going in the cave is entirely skippable.

Anyway this was a nice level, but I think you've given way too much time for this. I believe 400~500 would be more than enough and wouldn't give the player the impression it's going to be one non-stop long level. The desert and cave tilesets looked great by the way.

I really like how you worked on various aspects in the ROM to make it feel like SMB such as the lack of GFX for contact effects, the same screen scrolling along with other minor things. It'd be great if the hack got all the 8-bits sounds put into it, since it still uses some ports working with SMW's samples and only the castle theme being accurate to the original.

Overall great work!
Make sure to disable item carrying entirely though since the player gets wrong tilemaps showing when it carries a shell.

Thanks.

Edit:

No, I was talking about THIS pipe:


Edit 2: I'm now a Para-goomba! (Level 9).

Oh... personally I think it's fine the way it is right now.

Even if you are placing tiles with 'wrong' palettes or creating cutoff to make it look like a NES game with the limitations and all I think you're going a little overboard. Especially here. I'm not telling you to fix all the cutoff with new tiles and all, but I'd at least fix some of the palette issues. I like the idea, but I'd say it's too extreme

Also why the enemies in the walls?

I've released a version 1.3 which replaces the glitch levels along with some other changes. I also renamed the hack to "8-bit Mario World".
