realized with the execption of Kamikaze (kind of) no one ever made a hack of SMB that is just one gigantic level. So I'm thinking about making one, but I need some help. Can anyone help point me in the direction of getting the status bar not to print the world or time, and how to not have the ground tiles repeat ontop of eachother.

Example of what I mean for the floor tiles would be instead of
B4 B5
B6 B7
B4 B5
B6 B7

I would want:

B4 B5
B6 B7
B6 B7
B6 B7

<||bass> and this was the soloution i thought of that was guarinteed to piss off the greatest amount of people

Why would you need to change the floor tiles?

I wonder if it's possible (well, not a huge pain ) to hack a new mapper in, and add support for vertical scrolling?

I'm going with SMW-style GFX for the hack, so I wanted to have grass on the top of the ground and dirt under that, so visually my little hex diagram would look like this.

Original:
Grass Grass
Dirt Dirt
Grass Grass
Dirt Dirt

What I want:
Grass Grass
Dirt Dirt
Dirt Dirt
Dirt Dirt

Ok, it took me a while to figure this out, but here goes:



Get rid of the WORLD TIME text:
      0x076D, 11 bytes here = tile # (24 works good)

Get rid of world-stage text:
      0x0682 = A9
      0x0683 = Tile # you wish to replace it with (24 works good)
      0x0687 = Tile # you wish to replace it with (24)
      0x068F = Tile # you wish to replace it with (24)
      0x0F7C = A9
      0x0F7D = Tile # you wish to replace it with (24)
      0x0F7E = EA

Disable the timer altogether:
      0x379E = 00

This adjusts initial timer numbers so that you always
have 1 second left, so when you grab a flag, it ends
the timer bonus sequence instantly without hearing even 1 beep:
      0x113E = 00 00 00

Disable display of the timer:
      0x0F27 = 05



If you do all this, the World and Time display in the status bar should be disabled altogether, along with the timer itself no longer working (so your 1 level long level can go on forever).

Also, before getting to work on your next request, to get the different top for the ground, you'll need to sacrifice an existing block. I suggest sacrificing the tree tops, since they are green and could be easily converted into a ground top. Is this ok with you?

OH! Thanks! Yeah that's fine, I could probably sacrafice a piece of the title screen too since I'm making a new one, but for now let's just say I'll use the tree tops.

As far as updates go, I've done some of the GFX.


Here's the new goofy looking small mario.


Big Mario


SMW-style goombas.


Piranah Plants


SMW-Style Podboo

Well, I hate to say this, but it seems like what you're wanting to do as far as different ground tops is impossible without heavy ASM hacking and since SMB has only 6 free bytes, you'd have to expand the ROM and editing an expanded ROM is not fun for SMB1 (which is why I gave up on my own SMB1 Hack).

Ah Oh well. If I can use the SMW Morton Kooopa that I want the ground I have right now will work. (If I can use Morty it's going to be called Super Mario Brothers: Morton Koopa's Gauntlet) The mechanic looking ground would fit the feel for the hack well.

**EDIT**


Roy Koopa. I was wrong, it wasn't Morton like I thought. Roy Koopa was the one I could get. So yeah, the name of this hack is Roy Orbison Koopa's Greuling Gauntlet.


And to prove that's the name of it, here's the title screen.

Why does small Mario's appearance look so drastically different from big Mario's? I mean, I assumed you drew it up yourself, but if you are going to do so, then why don't you do the same with big Mario? I think it should stay consistent there...

Other than that, it's looking pretty good... oh wait, and change the title, please.

I rather quite like the title. Makes a change from the usual bland crap that passes as a hack title.

I had to make a new title screen. The old one was messing up the level pallet

Now onto the finished section 1


You get the mushroom in this little nook.


Get ready to hang ten...


...through the first trial of fire!


Then go down the pipe to section 2!

I actually like your idea. I mean we haven't seen any cool Mario 1 hacks in a little while. I mean... some of us actually tryed Afro Mario and even Wheelchair Mario.

Suggestions?
- Edit Levels in a fun way, not just challenging
- Change appearance of small mario
- Change title... but I actually like your title screen
- If only you could go back in the level...

Oh trust me lol Section 1 is not challenging at all lol I plan on making it progressively harder as time goes on, but section one is very easy. To demonstrate what I mean, the first trial of fire is just 2 fire rods and a podboo, the final section (which is where you face Roy Koopa) will also be the final trial of fire, but it will span most of the level and include some very difficult situations. I don't like making the downright challenge hacks, I like trying to make fun situations.

Everything looks great Dr.Mario. I will always enjoy the good ol SMB hacks. I really enjoy playing yours. Like Rebecca said, the stone age look is very eye appealing. I hope to see more of the hack. Great work. After seeing yours, I want to work on what I was doing with KP9000.

Cool! I love the new graphics. The Piranha Plant seems a little odd, though...
