The Official Super Mario World Hacks Speed Runs Video Topic

[mariowings77]

Ok, Title says it all and i'll start with a speed run of my hack. The first video is done and i'm still waiting for the second one to upload so in the mean time... enjoy :D
Part 1:
p6iokwGWN7E

[cheat-master30]

Looks good, but can you try without any music? I hate general mainstream music in videos.

[mariowings77]

Oh, sorry XD Ummm... sure but the video game music is very laggy and sorry but the next one also has music:P

[ninjablooper]

Shouldn't this be on the videos board?

[mariowings77]

Umm... it could but I think it fits better under the ROM hacks section:P

[cheat-master30]

Nah, rules be ignored in this case.

[mariowings77]

Haha *Highfives cheat* XD

[cheat-master30]

Thanks mariowings!

[mariowings77]

Haha... so my computer is acting really laggy so i have no idea how long it's going to take to finish uploading the second video:P

[cheat-master30]

Done yet? Or video still uploading?

[mariowings77]

Yeah, my internet is really slow and I keep losing connection like every five mins so I'm going to have to try it again later tonight.:/

[cheat-master30]

Well, better luck next time.

[mariowings77]

sorry for the delay
here's the three next vids.
first is my hack followed by the dsu rom hack
and yes they do have music, sorry cheat:P
My Hack:
qBOrGfKFQgE
DSU Hack pt1
V6-neK6Ks6c
DSU Hack pt2
SEvKs7W0uh0

[cheat-master30]

Love your DSU hack videos. Pretty much showed me everything I needed to comment on.

[mariowings77]

No prob! Creepy castle is next D: lol :D

[cheat-master30]

As I said, are you insane?

[mariowings77]

Oh, not yet, but i will be soon enough:p

[cheat-master30]

Your sanity in castle 4 or 6 in the future will even be less.

[mariowings77]

Haha ummm... thank you cheat XD

[Zexis]

Good luck on Creepy Castle, wings. Wonder how long the vid will be...and the ones you have posted so far look fantastic. Nice job :)

[cheat-master30]

I'd say it'll be about four videos of about four minutes or more each.

[mariowings77]

If i'm lucky... it'll take about two vids three max. I've done the first 4 parts of the level in about 2 minutes and sorry it hasn't come out yet, i've been really busy and It might be a few weeks before I can start it up again:/

[cheat-master30]

Can't you put what you have on Youtube though?

[mariowings77]

Ummm... yeah I guess but it would be better if I got through one or two more rooms first... I'm in the middle of an underwater portion of the level so maybe when I finish the part after that:p

[Zexis]

Two minutes? That's pretty good, considering that the drain is in that section, even if it the toned-down version. I'm looking forward to seeing this vid...and if you ever get the chance to upload what you have to Youtube, that'd be pretty awesome too.

[mariowings77]

Haha the drain was actually pretty fun to do... i'm a bit worried about the elevator though O_O Especially the room after that... bad times *shivers*

[Zexis]

Really? The elevator shouldn't be too bad. At least the platform doesn't go too fast. The room after that can be a slight pain, though. Particularly with the section with the noteblocks and boo buddies at the end.

The room before the elevator is one of my favorites. It's not too hard, but I liked making the puzzle at the start of it. But, anyways, whenever you get around to finishing this/uploading what you have, I'll be more than happy to check it out. Ya know, since I could probably never go as fast as you will through the rooms.

[mariowings77]

... correction on the time... excluding the message in the beginning... through the part after the drain... I have less than a minute of footage:D

[Zexis]

Wow. Now I'm REALLY interested in seeing this footage. Especially on that nasty jump in the second room, before you go into the warp pipe. That one, in my preview, was awfully obnoxious.

[mariowings77]

Lol it took me forever but incase you forgot... it's TAS so I used extreme slowdown to do it all... but it was pesky>_>

I'd personally fear the drain more than the elevator thanks to that kind of reason. Never knew you liked the room before it a lot though, that's quite interesting.

I wonder how long it would take Azura or the like to get through the entire level?

Haha the drain was actually pretty fun to do... i'm a bit worried about the elevator though O_O Especially the room after that... bad times *shivers*

I am very worried for your sanity after reading this. Next you'll be saying the Underwater Castle (needs a better name still)'s super fast spike corridor section is the most fun you've ever had and is quiten easy...

That is awesome, especially for the difficulty of the level. Are you literally a super player?

Ummm... yeah I guess but it would be better if I got through one or two more rooms first... I'm in the middle of an underwater portion of the level so maybe when I finish the part after that:p

I remember that section. Had a bit of cut off water because of the spikes, but was pretty generic otherwise.

[kyledude92107]

o_o

I wasn't aware you could do that in the level where you hit the P-switch, then went right, then back. <_<

Yeah, I'm too lazy to check the name.

Anyways, there was a secret exit you're supposed to find.

[ninjablooper]

Final Vip3
xOCU7z4Cnd8

[cheat-master30]

A secret exit in world 1? I guess now I learnt something new. And yes Kyle, you learn something new everyday!

[mariowings77]

Ummm... not really a super player but hey, you can ask greth, I adapt to videogames almost instantly!!:D

[Darkrai]

How the @#$% did u hak super mario world?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[mariowings77]

With lunar magic>____>

[Zexis]

How the @#$% did u hak super mario world?!?!?!?!?!?!?
We used a Super Mario World R0M editor called Lunar Magic.

And wings, did you use super slow down on the whole thing, or just certain parts of it? I bit of irony in it being a speed run with slow-mo, eh?

[cheat-master30]

Good idea the whole using TAS thing though, it makes the videos a lot shorter and allows people to actually see the whole level. On a random minor note, anyone noticed the levels get more interesting AFTER the Creepy Castle? Yeah, that'll be bad news for some once they've experienced said castle level. Hell, I couldn't probably beat that level after what Zexis has done to it.

So you haven't played it?

[cheat-master30]

I'm waiting for a version with more worlds or something. Maybe the final version, where at least if I get stuck, I can skip ahead to some interesting level of choice with cheats or whatever.

[Zexis]

Ah. I've just been wondering what you would think (not to mention how you'd do) when playing some of the levels that you had designed.

[cheat-master30]

And most I've designed are neared the end of the game.

[Zexis]

And most I've designed are neared the end of the game.
I hadn't thought about that. But that means they'll be all the more difficult, for your pleasure :)

[cheat-master30]

Yes they will be. I'm already dreading the Underwater Castle, after what you've done to Creepy Castle.

[mariowings77]

Blah, sorry guys that the vid is taking forever. Just finished the room after the water portion of the level (Had to do that without slowdown XD)
But i'm halfway done now. once again, sorry!!

[Zexis]

No problamo, mano.

[cheat-master30]

Blah, sorry guys that the vid is taking forever. Just finished the room after the water portion of the level (Had to do that without slowdown XD)
But i'm halfway done now. once again, sorry!!

Don't worry, it is a very long level as it is. Heck, most of the boss levels in the DS Ultimate hack/game are extremely long levels that will take a lot of time to complete and makes videos of.

[mariowings77]

K, well just wanted to let you guys know that i'm still working on it:P

[cheat-master30]

And what room have you reached?

[mariowings77]

Ugn.... the room with spikes everywhere where I have to jump off of a P-Switch over a bunch of spikes X(
I'm also working on remaking the beginning of my hack as well so I'll post a video of both up when I'm done:P

[cheat-master30]

You mean the room before the elevator? I hear that's Zexis' favourite room.

[mariowings77]

Nah, that was easy, and the funnest part of the hack!! No, this room is a living hell for me>___>
<____<
The room after the elevator is alot worse thoughX(

[cheat-master30]

What room is a living hell?

[mariowings77]

Haha this part with literally spikes everywhere with eeries pressuring you to not stop at all X(
It's the room right before the boss room so it's bound to be the hardest room X(

[cheat-master30]

Oh yeah, I remember that one. It's that long room Zexis added because I told him to completely scrap my old design for said room. On another note, why do I get the feeling that these videos are gonna be very much needed, and that 98% of LPers are probably gonna quit by castle 2 or 3? Because no offence, I don't see Azura or ProtonJon making it all the way to the end of the game with the difficulty level up so high. That's why Mariowings and his TAS videos are probably going to be one of the best guides for the average player to even see the end of the difficult levels.

[Zexis]

I'll admit that the first half of that room is a pain. Particularly with the spot where you have to fun across the noteblocks. After that, it's not quite as bad.

But, hey, you're almost there. Can't wait to see your strategies in the vid.

Now...

I know I said that I'd get back on working on levels after Winter Break. WELL, I haven't touched Lunar Magic for a few weeks now. It's around this time of year that I have exams in school, which requires a decent amount of preparation. In other words, my free time is...limited. SO, for the next week or so, my activity here will be lower than usual, and I highly doubt that I'll work on any levels. On the upside, I do get out of school early for three days next week, so I may log on then. So, if I'm not around here all that much for a bit, you'll know why.

...and the little free time I DO have is being devoted to Fallout 3. :P

[cheat-master30]

If he was really stuck, he should just enable cheat codes or something and make it a bit easier. What?

[mariowings77]

>_> Stuck?? Hahaha who need's cheat codes
<_<
I'm not stuck!! O_O Just procrastinating :P

[cheat-master30]

Aka pretty much the same thing.

[Zexis]

Heh. Well, after this room, it's a smooth ride to victory. Reznor is (unfortunately) much too easy for my tastes, but I didn't want to fub up the graphics. So unless you erupt into a sneezing fit, you should be fine after the room you're in. As for the eeries; they should dissapear at the half-way point of said room.

[mariowings77]

Yes, but then it's the boo ceiling >___>

Not as if that's much to complain about. Mario games and hacks and fan games based on them have always been known to have way, way easier bosses than levels. That's why one of the categories of Boss Dissonance of TV Tropes is actually NAMED 'Mario Type' for that category:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BossDissonance

But the Lemmy Koopa boss in world 6 will be way harder, so don't worry:


http://www.dsultimate.net/photoplog/images/1/1_UnderwaterCastleRemake2.PNG

Note that sadistic boss battle at the very end of a sadistic level.

[Zexis]

Yes, but then it's the boo ceiling >___>

Sigh. You just CAN'T be satisfied, can you? :P

The Boo Ceiling is, in my opinion, easier than the eeries. The hardest part is right at the end, next to the door. The Boos are literally appearing right where you need to land, for the platform or two just before that door. Which means, you're more or less relying on luck in hopes that you don't:

a) Jump straight into a Boo

or

b) Land on a Boo

Before that, it's just about keeping your head down low and moving quickly.

Well, I guess it's not a terrible loss. And it is only Castle 2, after all. Still, I like my bosses to match, if not exceed, the level difficulty. They should challenge a player, not be a breeze. It feels a bit more...epic, that way. But maybe that's just me.

I did hear you can put the Reznor sprite in a normal level by manually adding the sprite ID or something. Add four and it supposedly counts as a boss or level ender when defeated. Apparently:

http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=thread&id=9780

http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=thread&id=8551

Maybe try making a new boss room for the Reznor and inserting it outside of the premade room? I dunno, that's likely how Kaizo did it, and the VIP series did it, and how I hope world 7's castle in this hack will edit the Reznor battle.

[Zexis]

I was kinda hoping that I wouldn't need to do anything more to the level.

You can add him in manually, but the graphics, I believe, are all garbled. Might be an easy fix to that, but I'm not sure.

[cheat-master30]

I think you could probably change the level mode to castle or whatever, but you don't really need to change much, just suggestions in case you want to.

[Zexis]

Yeah, maybe. I still haven't heard any feedback from Moltov, who I sent the level to. It's been at least a month or so.

Problem is, not many people have played it (I'm assuming), so aside from a few people here have told me, including yourself, cheat, I don't really know what people would want me to do to it.

[wasabi jellyfish]

can you give me the page with the original rom because i cant find a rom with a 0x200 byte header or summat.

I think he's trying to get through all of season 1 first, which is why he rushed through VIP 3 and is now going through the rest of The Legend of Zelda Master Quest. He might actually LP it for all you know, he's actually said he isn't accepting any new ROM hacks until the upcoming season 2, so I assume there's quite a list he's been sent by now.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about when he gets to playing it, so long as he actually DOES play it some time or another. I even told him that I didn't care if he LP'ed it, so long as he could give me some feedback. But, yeah, we'll see. It doesn't seem like World 2 will be done any time soon, so there's no rush.

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about, jellyfish. But, first off, we do NOT distribute R0Ms here at DSU; we do, however, distribute IPS patches, which can be applied to original R0Ms so that the hacks can be played. If you're looking for the original Super Mario World R0M, I'd suggest searching the internet a bit, maybe even try Youtube.

I dunno to be honest. It's gonna be hard to have anything interesting in world 2 because it needs to be easier than the next 6 worlds, and hence anything custom will probably be rather too difficult. Then again, I was once thinking maybe this whole thing should just introduce different custom stuff per world, so 1 is normal stuff plus new graphics, 2 is new music plus new graphics, 3 has custom graphics and sprites and 4 and beyond are random custom stuff.

Sometimes I think it'd just be better if levels were designed spontaneously, without a whole lot of direction as to what had to be in it. Maybe a general theme, difficulty level, and that'd be it. It makes it easier, in my case, to make fun levels quickly and easily. Usually. But then I also know people that prefer to have structure to things.

[cheat-master30]

A general theme? Worlds 1, 5 and 7 have already killed that as it is. 1 is random Kaizo levels, 5 is a really, really strange mix of stuff and 7 is a really, really strange mix of insanely difficult stuff.

[mariowings77]

Ok guys, I've finished the new intro to my game and I've gotten through another room in creepy castle today. So i'm going to make the vid and then post it up.

[cheat-master30]

Sounds good mariowings.

[wasabi jellyfish]

I wish i could help im really good at this sort of stuff.

[wasabi jellyfish]

no ive already got it but I need something that gives it a 0x200 byte header.

[cheat-master30]

Oh, then I'm not sure. Try Super Mario World Central or something. As for how you can help, that's for you to decide. What exactly are you good at? Level designs, sprites, music, ASM coding?

[Zexis]

Do you have Lunar Magic, jellyfish?

And, heh, I'd say that those are indeed general themes, cheat.

I have the day off today, wings, so I'm looking forward to the video! After being subjected to this "BOXXY" person on Youtube, I need something that isn't compromised of utter stupidity to help me wake up.

[cheat-master30]

I'm looking forward to the video as well. I was personally thinking maybe to say to all LPers 'no watching TAS walkthrough videos' when they come to play this?

[mariowings77]

lol that's just cruel and unusual cheat XD
We could at least let them look at the boss castles XD
But whatever floats your cruise ship :P

[cheat-master30]

It would defeat the purpose of playing through this blind though.

[Zexis]

So, wings, how long is the video(s) of Creepy Castle? You are done, right (because I'm assuming you got past Reznor after that one room.)

But, I kinda like cheat's idea. It'll be more entertaining to watch if someone LP's it blindly.

[mariowings77]

True and I've been procrastinating so i'll get it done this weekend... sorry:P

[wasabi jellyfish]

i've made a mecha bowser for sm64 so ... level design

[cheat-master30]

Sounds cool if you can manage something like that. And what world would you design levels for (please world 3 or 6, those are nearly empty at the moment).

[wasabi jellyfish]

i still need the rom

[wasabi jellyfish]

I FOUND THE PATCH YAYZ
i'll start now

[cheat-master30]

Congrats I guess. Haven't got much else to say to be honest.

[wasabi jellyfish]

so whats do i do?

[wasabi jellyfish]

It wont let me upload pics
http://s5.tinypic.com/28taqer.jpg

[mariowings77]

It looks pretty good for your first level but if you jump up to get the goal before you touch the chompers, then you won't die, just letting you know;)

[cheat-master30]

Yeah, they don't kill you past the end goal.

[wasabi jellyfish]

Its not supposed to kil you i just thought it would look cool

[mariowings77]

Oh, ok .

[wasabi jellyfish]

I cant use tiny pic anymore AAAHHH and i just made a new level
PS:that last level is called WAY OF THE TURTLE

[cheat-master30]

I cant use tiny pic anymore AAAHHH and i just made a new level
PS:that last level is called WAY OF THE TURTLE

Which will probably now, if the issues with stacked munchers get fixed be used in this hack or whatever. In world 3 no less, because you know, world 3 is nearly completely empty at the moment (before this, it had ONE level even thought of, a Sherbet Land remake, and that's because it's a end of world boss level). That reminds me, this world does need some more stuff, am I right?

[Zexis]

Are you referring to World 2, or World 3?

[cheat-master30]

World 3. World 2 will probably have content soon anyway, world 3 needs some stuff in it.

[mariowings77]

ZOMG!!! just finished the elevator D: ONE MORE ROOM!!! :D

[cheat-master30]

Good work mariowings.

[mariowings77]

...finished the room... and the elevator went rouge X( Blah!! I'll try and finish it next week... I need a break!

[cheat-master30]

Can you upload the videos you've got so far on Youtube?

[Zexis]

Elevator went rouge? What do you mean?

[mariowings77]

Sure. And by rouge I mean I made a faulty save state which when I went to watch the video, he ended up dying:/
I'll try to fix it soon... and Zexis... I hate the boo ceiling >___> Just letting you know XD

[Zexis]

But hey, you're almost there! I usually make a new save state after each room. I've made plenty of bad save states in the drain section.

[mariowings77]

This is true... it's just at the very start of the boo ceiling that I hate... everything else is tolerable! Kinda >_>
<_<

[Zexis]

So did you say that you were going to try and finish it next week before uploading the video, or would you be willing to upload what you've already got? I'm purty darn eager to see how you got past so many eeries :D

EDIT: Nevermind, just read your shout.

[cheat-master30]

The boo ceiling was already annoying in the original though, that's not something you can blame this for.

[mariowings77]

No, it's not that... it's just that literally as soon as you jump on the platform surrounded by two spikes, they immediately start bombarding you. I got extremely lucky to get past them and feel extremely sorry for the LPers who take up this challenge.

[Zexis]

Do you mean right here?

http://www.dsultimate.net/Board/upload/picture.php?albumid=149&pictureid=7703

[mariowings77]

*twitch twitch* Y-y-yes XD

[cheat-master30]

^Wow, that does look pretty difficult, with the spikes, boos and darkness.

[mariowings77]

Yeah, had to jump off onto an eerie to live last time so i'm not so sure if I can do that again! >_<

[Zexis]

Which is why I'm VERY interested to see when, or if, you play the hack, cheat. :D

[mariowings77]

Lol well the vid of the first 4 mins are uploading now... i'll get the second vid done soon!!

[cheat-master30]

Thanks to you, I'm probably gonna be crushed flat by just about half the obstacles. But hopefully, castle 4 will kill castle 2, because it's just a far cooler place.

[Zexis]

Lulz. Of course it will be. But does that mean that it should be twice the difficulty?

[cheat-master30]

Probably. But remember, castle 4 is the Syrup Castle remake, which is HUGE in terms of length (remember, Wario Land 2 fit FIVE levels in it, and Wario Land 1 fit FOUR levels in it!) Yeah, it's pretty big, has at least 15 rooms and two consecutive boss fights (one airship, one semi custom boss).

[mariowings77]

NO!!! D:
This is difficult enough as it is!! :D
lol actually cheat, I was wondering if I could make the DSU rom hack my first LP? You know... play through every level while you guys watch me suffer??

[cheat-master30]

Go ahead, it's technically Kyle's hack, but the more people that LP it, the better the publicity for DS Ultimate.

[mariowings77]

Lol ok and the video is done uploading so i'll post it in just a sec.!

[cheat-master30]

Awesome, although I could tell, as last login on your page said like, 6 minutes ago.

[mariowings77]

I dunno... my computer automatically logs me out every so often... it get's annoying... >_<

[mariowings77]

Yay!! Video's up!! :D
RQL6THgXcNI
Enjoy!! :D

[cheat-master30]

Wow, that looks insanely difficult, and I do not even want to know how annoyed the vast amount of people playing it will get due to the darkness and spikes everywhere.

[mariowings77]

The spikes aren't actually that annoying!! It's anything that moves that gets annoying >_< But glad you like it!! :D

[cheat-master30]

Needs better music though. Something creepy would be nice, if you can't do background music at the same time.

[mariowings77]

Ok sorry XD Wanted to do custom music out of fear that the music will lag like my first few video's:P

[Zexis]

Just finished my two hour long bath! Heh. I'm getting ready to watch it now.

[Zexis]

You had some close calls there! But very nice! I would've never made it through without save states. What tools did you use during filming?

But good job! Can't wait to see part 2.

[mariowings77]

lol ummm... slow down and lot's of luck XD
trust me... several save states were used in the making of this film XD
I'm going to make the second video now!! Cause I am DONE!! :D

[Zexis]

Good job! *wonders how you got past the boo ceiling* I might not see it until tomorrow, but I'm anticipating a second snow day. We just haven't gotten the call yet.

[mariowings77]

Well, i'm uploading the like what... 2 minute video?? Music is a bit laggy but it's pretty good!! And I actually go the boo ceiling in one try!! :D Hopefully i'll get the vid up in a hour!! :D

[mariowings77]

tis done :D
2yzE4li5Xg0
Enjoy all :D:D:D

[Zexis]

Yay! *watches*

[wasabi jellyfish]

Just to let you know Im halfway through NEW SUPER MARIO WORLD

[cheat-master30]

That is awesome mariowings. And somewhat LOL at the ghost Reznor!

[mariowings77]

Lol yes!! When I first saw it I yelled GLITCH... Dunno why... >_> <_< But thanks cheat!!

[cheat-master30]

It is a glitch to a good degree, although I'm not sure why it happens, or if it could be done in the original Super Mario World.

[mariowings77]

Yeah, well next video to come up will be a preview of my automatic level, water level, and green switch palace!!!

[cheat-master30]

Aren't some of those being also submitted to the DS Ultimate hack?

[mariowings77]

The green switch palace is. Probably the water level. Gotta spice up the water level though If I do. But the first time I played the green switch palace I only had 16 seconds left. And that was when I knew what I was doing. Now that I know alot of shortcuts... I have about 90 seconds left. This is with 400 seconds!

[cheat-master30]

I've added all the videos of the DSU hack to the DS Ultimate account's favourites as of now.

[Zexis]

Despite my efforts to make Reznor glitch free, I could not remove that lingering image of him upon one of their defeats. Hopefully, it won't affect submission.

[cheat-master30]

It shouldn't, I'm pretty sure I saw such stuff before.

[wasabi jellyfish]

SWIMMING LESSONS
PKODyNHoy5w

[mariowings77]

It says that the video isn't available >_<

[cheat-master30]

Says that to me too mariowings, although he added it last night, so I'd expected it to be working about now.

[mariowings77]

Yeah, wonder how long it's going to take

[cheat-master30]

Considering how NintenDan's video didn't upload, Youtube is sucking recently.

[mariowings77]

I know, but my computer sucks but it still uploads all of the vids just fine... I guess we'll just have to wait and find out. Heck, he could send me the hack and I could make a vid for it if need be

[Zexis]

Says wasabi removed the video. Any reason as to why, jellyfish?

[wasabi jellyfish]

Says wasabi removed the video. Any reason as to why, jellyfish?

It wouldnt work and im uploading another one but its been 12 hours and it still hasnt

[Zexis]

How long is the video/what's the file size

and

What file format is it in?

[wasabi jellyfish]

How long is the video/what's the file size

and

What file format is it in?

558 MB
AVI
and its now 48 HOURS!!!!

[Zexis]

That's odd. Do you have a decent internet connection?

[wasabi jellyfish]

YAYZ
JuJiY2LyAEw

[cheat-master30]

Apart from a decent amount of cut off water and a few cut off edges, it doesn't seem like that bad a level.

[Zexis]

It doesn't seem too bad, but to be honest, it doesn't look that different from the original.

[wasabi jellyfish]

I'll upload Mario's Delerium soon

[cheat-master30]

Mario's Insanity? Oh, and a spelling problem, definition originally said something like some foreign music band.

[wasabi jellyfish]

Spelling problem?

[cheat-master30]

Probably, but it's meant to be like Mario's Insanity, correct?

[wasabi jellyfish]

Probably, but it's meant to be like Mario's Insanity, correct?

yes i got the name off a song

[wasabi jellyfish]

BTW cheat i sent you an invite

[cheat-master30]

I know, but I'm not sure about joining. Oh, and what is the level like? Map, video?

[wasabi jellyfish]

I know, but I'm not sure about joining. Oh, and what is the level like? Map, video?

I'll upload it soon

[wasabi jellyfish]

How do you use TAS?

[mariowings77]

There should be a video making function in ZSNES

[wasabi jellyfish]

I dont use TAS:D
MARIOS DELERIUM is uploading

[mariowings77]

I do. It's pretty useful if you want to get through a video really quickly.
When I have time, i'll do lp's. But they won't have commentary :/

[wasabi jellyfish]

and it had an error

[cheat-master30]

Video still not done yet?

[wasabi jellyfish]

Video still not done yet?

and it had an error

It had an error

[cheat-master30]

Oh. Can't you provide screenshots?

[wasabi jellyfish]

Oh. Can't you provide screenshots?

nope it takes a day 24 HOURS

[cheat-master30]

Just print screen the level in action and upload to the gallery here or something. Shouldn't take very long at all.

[mariowings77]

Yeah, should only take a few minutes per picture.

[wasabi jellyfish]

I'm sorry wasabi jellyfish the file is to large or the wrong MIME type

[cheat-master30]

Try splitting it into smaller images.

[mariowings77]

Ok guys, new video coming up soon... maybe even two... Green Switch palace and if that successfully uploads, then crystal palace!!

[cheat-master30]

Sounds good mariowings, still waiting on those edited sprite graphics though.

[mariowings77]

I know, things have been really slow here and i've been busy with alot of homework so this is the first chance i've gotten in a while... and by sprites you mean for the thwomp boss, right??

[cheat-master30]

Yeah, and the axe ghost thing. I'm still personally coming up with a graphics replacement for the Fishin' Boo boss.

[mariowings77]

K, well, if it'll make you feel any better, i'm working on a sprite sheet for them now :D (thwomp boss i mean)

[cheat-master30]

Awesome news mariowings! And what your levels are like, I'd love to see them.

[mariowings77]

For green switch palace, there are actually many ways to do it that I hadn't anticipated when I finished the level so it's going to be pretty good. Crystal Palace has an awesome level lay out and it's alittle challenging... not too many misplaced munchers... no flying anything except blocks. I think they're two of my best levels honestly!!

[cheat-master30]

No flying objects, when it's perfectly logical for them in the Mario series? Unless you just mean no floating Munchers, in which case, fair enough.

[mariowings77]

Yeah, no floating munchers XD

[cheat-master30]

I never got the hate of them personally, which is a perfect thing to write a blog entry about, heh.

[mariowings77]

lol yeah, here's the sized down sprite of the bat boss you wanted to see cheat:
Just made it in like five mins XD
http://www.dsultimate.net/photoplog/images/372/medium/1_bat_boss.GIF
wow... ummm... trust me, it looks alot better on my computer... this is just because I had to save it as a GIF XD

[mariowings77]

Editing the charging chucks is going to take alittle longer though because there are more sprites I need to worry about such as digging chuck or the bird calling chuck, charging chuck, spliting chuck, and bouncing chuck. Those are all going to end up having to be partly custom so it'll take some time to do:/

[cheat-master30]

Looks great as is that bat thing mariowings. And for the Chargin' Chucks, I've got a cool suggestion, maybe to use different versions of the axe ghosts for the other types? Like the axe mummy enemy for one of the types:

http://www.mariowiki.com/images/9/95/Ax_Mummy.JPG

[mariowings77]

That could work :D

[cheat-master30]

Yeah. Maybe different variants. One might throw weapons instead of the baseballs for example.

[mariowings77]

Yeah, and also, Dang video keeps going unresponsive X( I've been trying to upload vids for two days but each time I do, there's always an error because the interwebz keeps going to (Not Responding) Any way to fix this??

[cheat-master30]

Haven't seen that myself, so I can't really help.

[mariowings77]

Ok, bump for zexis or someone else who's dealt with this problem

[wasabi jellyfish]

finally
_3N2id4Zn-U

[cheat-master30]

Sorry, but there are quite a few improvements that stage needs:

First of all, the water needs a surface all the way around. But only a surface, water CAN float in the air in the Mushroom Kingdom (see Super Mario Galaxy for examples).

The level design needs less cut off in general. Like the ropes and what not.

Needs more enemies and obstacles to provide a challenge. Every section needs I'd say at least ten enemies minimum unless a boss arena.

Underground area needs to be edited from the original.

Less general flat land is needed.

Glitched sprites need fixing, and Big Boo boss needs more hazards and threats in the arena, since the Big Boo itself cannot hurt you.

So in all, level theming seems okay (I like the going through multiple types of area, that parts good general design), but it needs to be less flat and needs a lot of cleaning up.

[mariowings77]

Hey guys, umm... something's wrong when ever I try to upload vids, it cancels them so i'm not sure if i'll be able to make new vids any time soon... :/

[cheat-master30]

Ouch. Have you tried using a proxy or the like?

[mariowings77]

No .

[cheat-master30]

How about take some screenshots instead?

[mariowings77]

That, I could do. I'll try to have them out soon.

[wasabi jellyfish]

I'm gonna LP hacks

[cheat-master30]

What are the screenshots of mariowings?

[mariowings77]

Ill get them in tonight. Just a minute.

[cheat-master30]

Oh, okay then mariowings.

[cheat-master30]

Looks nice, although a bit easy, and a few floating Munchers (LOL)

[mariowings77]

Oh, ummm... >_> <_< lol? And the one's that i'm putting in the dsu hack are going to be harder. Touched up alittle bit >_<

[cheat-master30]

Well, that sounds good anyway. How come you didn't edit the Muncher and Chargin' Chuck graphics? I don't know what theme your hack has, but wouldn't it make sense to edit them for that?

[mariowings77]

I'm still working on those. I just need to figure out what would go best. Like for chargin chucks, i'm going to use dark link but I need to make sprite sheets for them.

[cheat-master30]

Oh, sounds good. Although Darknuts or Iron Knuckles would be good for some enemy replacements.

[mariowings77]

Yes, those would be insain to have!!

[cheat-master30]

Added screenshots to level list. Also, check the sprite I plan to add for the other custom mini boss (deadweight bro replacement) in the other topic.

[mariowings77]

Will do ;)

[mariowings77]

Sweetness, it looks like i'll be able to get the video's up after all!! :D Crystal Palace is processing right now and hideout in the tree is on it's way ;)

[cheat-master30]

Sounds good mariowings.

[mariowings77]

q15f_uRPIp4
Crystal Palace

[cheat-master30]

Looks good, although what's with the glitchiness with the ice blocks when hit from underneath? I do like the level though, it's a nice puzzle type level with quite a few different areas, and it also reminds me a lot of the puzzle levels in the VIP series.

[mariowings77]

Thanks, and I'm not sure how to fix those glitches:/ So when I figure out how to, then i'll be able to. Hideout in the tree is coming up next. Oh! And incase you're wondering what the whole 1up mushroom and info block said, it was something along the lines of: You're going to need a spring board. If you don't have one, here's a 1up... now go kill yourself. See, i'm not completely heartless... or something >_<
For the dsu hack version of it, i'm going to add a few more challenges. just fyi

[cheat-master30]

Hideout in the Tree? Is that a level for your hack, because I don't hear about it in the DSU one...

[mariowings77]

Cough cough green switch palace XD

[cheat-master30]

Oh, new name then. Got to change that.

[mariowings77]

ElWU1RgjBPM
Hideout in the tree

[cheat-master30]

Freaking heck, that's a weird level! Looks awesome though, albeit a bit confusing, and definitely a change considering how few people edit the switch palaces much.

[mariowings77]

Yup!! And you know the first room... Yeah, I kinda cheated alittle... you aren't supposed to be able to get the switch through the pipe, so it saved me a good 50 or so seconds... For the dsu version, i'll try to add more challenges...

[cheat-master30]

Good, more challenges are good.

[mariowings77]

Yeah, can't be monsters though cause otherwise, yoshi can eat them >_<
So yeah, i'll try to get more vids out soon... :D

[cheat-master30]

Maybe more pits or spikes?

[mariowings77]

Yeah, I could see a few places that I can do that for!!

[cheat-master30]

Sounds good then.

[Zexis]

I like Crystal Palace, though I wasn't really sure what the heck was going on with the background. The puzzle is nice, though.

For the Switch Palace, it reminds me a lot of a forest in autumn. So, yes, I like the color scheme. It's not too difficult, but it requires some exploration and thinking to get through the challenges. The Zelda-themed graphics were a nice touch, too...who knew Link rode dinosaurs?

[cheat-master30]

Both are nice puzzle levels, although the Crystal Palace level so reminded me of a switch palace name and concept wise.

[Zexis]

I would agree on the name, with it having "palace" in it...hm, I wonder what it would be like to make the player think they are going to a regular, un-edited switch palace, only to have replaced the switch with a goal that leads to the actual, hidden switch palace. What do you think?

Edit: Wow, this page has had over 1,000 views now.

That's an awesome idea. I like the fake switch palace idea, kinda like the other switch palace idea in my Platform Hell level, where you have to hit the switch THEN REDO THE LEVEL to the point with the switch, and use the switch blocks to continue through the second half of the level. Thinking of which, now since there are two gimmick switch palace level ideas, add a third and this thing has complete mocked the typical switch palace concept.

Now that's just mean.

But I like it :) Not only will this hack go beyond typical SMW hack quality, it will also mock said quality as well.

[cheat-master30]

I'm personally thinking another switch palace, maybe the one by Yoshi987 if he doesn't mind could actually use the switch as the boss or something, that would be hilarious.

[Zexis]

Lol. Like a Big Boo remake or something? A big floating switch? That actually wouldn't be a bad idea, and should be easy to make. Or did you have something else in mind?

[cheat-master30]

Yeah, maybe a Big Boo remake. Got to have random annoying sections that make little sense just to completely confuse the LPers.

[wasabi jellyfish]

MULTICOLOURED RANDOM SWITCH PALACE OF DOOM!
Sounds fun:D

[cheat-master30]

Yes it does. Assuming you mean the false switch palace by that.
