This hack was Originally Known as Super Mario Chronicle: The Black Abyss, but I changed it to match the new story.
The last thread was too cluttered :/, and I don't want to bump it again (In other words, I don't want to Quintuple post, or post five times in a row in the same thread).
The full title is Super Mario Chronicle: Escape from Prison Island! I'm planning to have it be a half-action, half-story based hack, kind of like SMI2. The levels will mostly be Action-Packed, but there will be some story elements too, like cutscenes, and (An Original Idea by Yours Truly) playable Flashbacks to earlier times. Such "Flashbacks" will have a foggy HDMA effect like this:
That's right, this hack will have HDMA. I won't overuse cutscenes, flashbacks or HDMA too much, but when the situation calls for it, they will be used. I might also use HDMA to make a blue sky or sunset, but still, I don't want to overuse it.
Anyways, our story goes like this:
One day, Bowser invaded the Mushroom Kingdom and turned it into the Koopa Kingdom. He captured Princess Peach and Threw The Mushroom Kingdom's Residents into Prisons on Prison Island. Mario got thrown into one of said prisons, Bellingham Prison. So Mario Must Escape and Rescue toads from Prisons, to Build up an Army so he can Overthrow Bowser, Rescue Peach, and Regain Control of the Mushroom Kingdom once and for all.
And now, the Part you've all been waiting for, the Screenies! (Keep in mind, some of them, like the last one of Bellingham Prison, are Very Dated)
Bellingham Prison:
This is the Prison Mario gets Locked in at the Start of the Game. Suprisingly, it is still under construction (Not in a "Work in Progress" kind of way, it's actually under construction, look at the screenshot.), and has many security flaws.
Bellingham Ridge:
A Bunch of Cliffs on Bellingham Isle. This area, in particular, has a very secure secret.
???:
Meh, Just some tilesets I ripped from spritesheets... (BTW, Many of the GFX are Ripped or Drawn By Me.)
All Screenshots are Under development and are Subject to Change.
Go ahead, start giving feedback. I love feedback.
And a very special thanks to Player 1, who helped me out with HDMA, gave me a few ideas, and is Beta-Testing the hack.
EDIT: Title has been changed since there's now only one island.
EDIT2: All of the above screens are extremely dated. Check the end of the page for the most recent updates.
