I've finally finished it.

Grape Ruins castle: (Currently unnamed)




This castle mainly consists of moving castle bricks and Thwomps, both of which haven't been seen since the first castle, Groven Fortress. But aside from that it's a pretty standard castle level.

Now, I just have to double check all of the levels to make sure there aren't any errors. At the time that I post this, there are 2 days left before C3, so I should hopefully have plenty of time to prepare a demo by then...and speaking of levels, most of the levels I've shown off have been revised and edited, so don't expect them all to be exactly the same as I've shown here although I suppose that goes without saying Most of the stages from the first demo have been changed as well.

I've started work on world 5!

Blueberry Skies submap


Blueberry Skies 1: Mushroom Heights




Red mushrooms are bouncy, and green mushrooms are scale platforms.

Blueberry Skies 2: Up




This level's gimmick is centered around Mandew's Balloon Glider sprite. Single balloons carry you down, and triple balloons carry you up.

Yep.

So, I've been working on the main map...


I began working on this yesterday morning. Thoughts? Aside from the cutoff and lack of decoration, of course.

So, the other day I got a message from a mod, and it was about my hack being removed. Basically, the tester didn't like it because it was too linear and the levels were too short and blah blah blah

But, this gave me a chance to change things that I've wanted to change for a while now, but was lazy to do so. So I've remade and added some new stuffs that I want to show. So consider this a revamp of this hack.

World 1
Pineapple Plains 3: Sandstone Stroll
Song that plays: MegaMari - Cirno



This replaces that boring beach level with the annoying orange sky.
Not much to say about it, other than it introduces Monty Moles and fish.

Pineapple Plains 4: Freshwater Forest
Song that plays: Yoshi Village




Based off of Springwater Swamp from Newer Wii, and replaces the forest stage with the secret exit. You're gonna see a lot of vines and floating platforms here.

Pineapple Plains 5: Piranha Plant Bay
Song that plays: Little Nemo - Mushroom Forest



This stage is a remake of Boardwalk Breeze. It still uses the wooden platforms like the previous version did, except there are Piranha Plants and spiked balls this time.

And now, for the introduction of a new world! Er, kinda. Desert worlds have always been my least favorite world theme. They're really generic and there aren't that many ways to make them interesting. So, I decided to go with another world theme:



Cave! And that's totally not just an edited version of the old desert map, conveniently edited to look more cave-like. But I can't just introduce a new world without showing a level or two, can I?

World 2
Rock Candy Cave 1: Toxic Tunnel
Song that plays: Funky Boo




Pretty much a generic cave level, but hey, purple!

Rock Candy Cave 2: Crystal Shard Shaft
Song that plays: VLDC7 - Cave Map




I'm working on this level as we speak. It's going for that 'abandoned mine' theme, am I'm quite proud of it so far.

And since I've finally gotten Asar to work, I've been going nuts with the patches and applied a lot of them, like wall kicking and better powerdown.

Does this look any better? Or does it still need more color?

Nothing to show this time but two submaps:


I've edited the cave map slightly. Nothing too special.


This is an entirely new submap and replaces the Abstract map. Thoughts? I'm probably gonna change the girders sticking out of the water because they look pretty bad right now.
