Description:	Do you remember when they announced the 3D World style for Mario Maker 2? Well of course you do! These graphics are based on the clear pipes in said style. But, it is drawn to the style of SMW. Do you want functionality? If yes, click the link at the bottom of the description! Files Included - - ExGFX80[BG2].bin - ClearPipes.mwl - ClearPipes.map16 Author's Note: It works best with FG1 Pallete. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ (https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=18668)

this submission is entirely functional, but there's a couple minor things that would be best to fix and resubmit:

this overrides page 0x02 which is generally reserved for things like custom blocks.

the graphics file should probably follow the ExGFXxx.bin naming convention for easier insertion. also, why's it in a subfolder...?

Unfortunately I'm going to have to reject these under the grounds that they don't quite live up to the standards of the section. The use of two colors makes them look particularly flat, rather than tube shaped, and the heavy black outlines (while consistent with smw) make them look not particularly transparent. This, alongside the fact a similar graphic that is more "complete" in the section exists is enough to not accept it.

I suggest taking a look at some glass tubes, and maybe try and emulating that look a bit? See how a white outline and some more colors look, and take a look at some cylinders/real pipes. I feel like that would help a lot, even when trying to emulate SMW as close as possible.
