| The man turns to face the new arrival. The face remains enshrouded as both eyes suddenly flare up with red lights. Anger exists, but the man seems to know very few ways to express it, as evidenced by his next action: He pulls the sword out of the ground, crimson energy roaring into flame that envelops its blade. With a quick flick of the wrist, the man jumps forward slightly, swinging the weapon in such a way as to remove the target's head and neck. | |||

| Heh, random guess... But... Cave Story? Heh, never played it myself, but so many people talk about it that I have a general idea... And this game looks fun, so why not? |

| "rules of the internet" No. Never. So, um, who doesn't say fuck you with the meaning of how are you? So, hey, Fuck You. By that I mean, How are you? But by that I also mean Flavorful Yeti. The only things that I don't mean by that are the ones you personally would find insulting. So I'm not really flaming you. I'm just annoying everyone by double-spacing when I could have all this text in one paragraph. So I guess I am flaming Somebody who uses this style regularly and does not find it irritating... But hey, Fuck Them. |

| Hey, you know, I could make a few shitty SMW hacks just for this! It'd be great, with like fifty bazillion glitches in every level. And I would make a bunch of levels. Ooh! I could import the palette from a completely different game and use it for every level! I can see it now... Mario Metroid World! Of course, the palette that just looks like shit would be the only resemblance. It would have mostly the original levels, with thwomps and pipes tossed in everywhere. Maybe some autoscroll, and changing levels to be transparent. Then I could use the screen scrolling pipes but have them kill you by running them off the bottom of the screen. I've got some awesome ideas, so I'll whip up a hell of a hack for you guys! Want me to take my own screenies, or leave that to you? All sarcasm aside... your site is pretty awesome. I'd like to say something else, but I'm too lazy. |

No, I don't believe in GOD. What does that stand for, anyway?  But really, I've read this book. It's entitled, I don't have enough faith to be an Atheist. It is not a joke. The authors were atheist, then decided to warp (not a spelling error) their logic around the whole concept of christianity. They attempt to prove, in the first two (or four? I don't remember) chapters, that God exists. It's all very neat and precise, up until the part where they claim that by the second law of thermodynamics the universe can't have been around forever, or else it wouldn't exist today. I'd love to go further into why this is so ludicrous, but what Arwon said is more concise than any explanation I would write. Also, I do believe that you can get something out of nothing, so I suppose I do have enough faith to be an atheist. Huzzah. If you didn't get the gist of that, or perhaps skipped it because you were lazy, I do not believe in any supreme being whatsoever. Except in the one possibility I now describe... Okay, so, there's the big argument that the world is so complex that someone had to have designed it, right? Let's just say for a moment that this is true. But just look around you! It's obvious that the world is not perfect. Seriously, you can see all the things that were done wrong that, had you been the supreme being, you would have done better. So, while it's obvious that there must be a supreme being, it's also obvious that He did not make this world. No, it's much more plausible that our universe was made by an underling while no one was looking. In other words, the existence of a badly-made clock proves the existence of an inept clockmaker. As such, it's probably a bad idea to offer up prayers to this supreme being. You'd just be inviting armageddon. |

| But no! Someone no one has ever heard of comes out of nowhere and... TIES THE VOTE! Mwahahahaha! Fear me and my improper use of the ellipse! Uhm, yeah. Because... I dunno. But yeah, 14 to 14. And the poll says that 14 is only 49% of the votes, so, um, did someone's votes die when the poll got change-zorxed? No? Is it just stupid? Should I shut up? Yes. |

| Guess what? Level 2 was copied DIRECTLY from SMWEdit's hack. Good job. Oh, and besides, what were you thinking when you made Level 1? First of all, you start from the midway point. You are then able to go forwards, get a mushroom, then go back to the start for a flower. No obstacle prevents you from doing this, except for the really easy jump betwen the turn block platforms. Every so often, there will be a concrete block at the top of the screen which you can jump over and skip lots of level. Bottom line: Vines, concrete blocks and munchers do not a level make. You've got some interesting concepts, but you should do the following: ± Stop stealing from other hacks. ± Use more kinds of blocks in your levels. It's not hard to make whatever weird shapes you want with the ground tiles. They're interesting, while concrete blocks are not. You overuse munchers, and use vines when the climbing net would make more sense. ± Be careful not to set the midway flag for any overworld tile, unless that was intentional. Looking at the level in LM, it really doesn't look like it. ± Change stuff around in the overworld. The mountain doesn't look like one, it seems very unnatural. So, while this hack is awful so far, it's not unsalvageable. You don't have to follow my advice, but it's more than likely that other people will flame the hell out of you if you don't, because your hack will suck. |

| The switch palace tiles use Palette 7 (count starting from 0, from the top). They use the three blue colors in that row, as well as that row's white and black on the left. Changing these palettes would also change the colors that the throwable blocks use before you pick them up, the blue pipes, and anything else that's blue, except for the nonmoving water, which uses palette 2 (or 3). Hope that helps.  |

| "Right... Do you mind if I stretch my wings? I'd much rather fly the natural way, enjoy the fresh air..." Without waiting for a reply, Corona begins dashing at full tilt along the 'runway.' His body slowly fades out as he runs, and red sparks follow behind him. He's barely visible as he leaps off the Palace, doing several frontflips before extending both arms and dropping out of sight. Less than an instant later, a small, red dragon with a streamlined body rises up into the sky. Corona is still mostly transparent, but the force from his falling can carry him Very far up into the air... He covers several miles straight up in the space of seconds, then drops his wings to his sides. As he plummets towards the ground, air friction occurs: Corona the Dragon catches fire, and reextending both wings he does several midair twirls to lose momentum. Descending safely to the same altitude as the hangar from which he started his aerial maneuvers, he flaps his leathery, sinew-bound, flame-encrusted wings rythmically, and speaks from his draconic mouth. Surprisingly, the voice is still exactly the same. "Well... Yes, I know where the Forest of Sorrows is. However, I don't know where WE are... Know of any major human cities nearby? I should be able to get where we're going from one of them, at least." |

| ... Wow. Did NO ONE ELSE here play Sonic 1? Starlight Tower's graphics are from Starlight Zone. And the weird background there is how it was in the Sonic game. What I see wrong with it is that when you shrink it so that it looks more detailed, you make people who've seen the normal-size graphics get headaches. Well, not really, but with a Mario roughly 4x the size of Sonic because of the zoom-out, it doesn't feel right at all. | |||

| Corona spins around in time to see Schwa flying off. With a grin and a roar, he soars off in pursuit. With a steady wingbeat, he's able to keep up pretty well, and of course the faster he goes the warmer his wings get, which enables him to fly faster. He's about to make an idle joke about the weather when Hyper Mode hits. Corona is left staring at the energy trail left by a rapidly-vanishing Schwa, but not for long. He staggers his flight so that his left wing picks up some of the energy from the acceleration, then his right, back and forth. The psychadelic stuff completely covers both wings, and suddenly crystallizes. The flame heats up even farther, into purple, then blue, almost white. Corona laughs out loud at the influx of power, then flaps his wings a bit. In no time he's caught up with Schwa, and keeps his speed identical to his partner's. They pass a small gap in the clouds, and Corona wonders if he looks like a Psi Warrior dragon to those down below. Either way, he's having ridiculous amounts of fun flying through the air. | |||

| Corona can see the plane coming towards him, or rather that he's coming towards the plane, but he knows he can't slow down in time. He makes the decision to try something new... The impact happens. Corona slams into the nose of the plane... or at least that's what it looks like. The plane continues moving forward, and it turns out that Corona is molding himself around it! A wave of red... stuff... passes quickly over the machine, and then Corona is intact as a dragon on the other side. The only problem is that he loses all previous momentum, and it's all he can do to stop from falling. | |||

| "Certainly! I'd love to... I'll just-" Corona cuts off. He raises both foreclaws to his head, and shakes it back and forth vigorously. Inside his mind, something strange is happening... and to most observers, Corona vanishes. In reality, he's been moved to an alternate dimension, one which never existed before today... Corona stands up. He's in the middle of a clearing in a forest, which looks vaguely tropical. With a few looks around, he decides he's never been there before, plus there's this weird mushroom thing next to him. It just shouted Schwa's name a few times, so he looks up to the sky. Sure enough, the Psi Warrior is coming down for a landing. Corona tries to shout out a greeting, but nothing comes out. The small creature next to him pleads for Schwa's help, and then Corona realizes he can't move his body at all. He's still a dragon... in just a few moments, a several white spheres of energy come hurtling towards him, knocking him back into a tree. He feels pain, but is still immobilized. Suddenly Schwa draws a sword made of something that looks like silver, and plunges it through the dragon's scales, followed by a quick Psibeam. It takes no time at all, and Corona is nearly dead. Somehow he's still conscious through the pain, but he's not in control. A voice speaks into his mind... Welcome, Corona, to your own private hell. Time is subjective, and your little flaming race with Schwa used up a lot of yours. The lingering protection of the Psipalace is already gone, so it was simple to bring you here. It'll be fun inflicting more pain upon you than could possibly- There's a sound like that of breaking glass, extending through all dimensions, and Corona finds himself back near the plane. He was only gone for less than a second, and his wounds seem to have been unreal. With a grin, he charges through the air towards the crazy superstitious man, and is really close to him when he suddenly stops, and taps the rifle with a single talon. It promptly disappears. "I advise you against shooting my friend. What madness could possess you to attack a Psi Warrior and his," There is a short pause, "Ally? I was under the impression that EVERYONE knew about them, but somehow you remain ignorant. I pity you." He turns back to Schwa. "Come on, let's go. I saw a mountain down below that I think I recognize... The Forest of Sorrows should be just a few miles to the southwest of here." He gestures to the wound. "Do you need any help with that?" |

| He's a tribal king, I see no reason for it NOT to be a fallic symbol. That's actually what I had assumed from the start of that story arc. These sprite comics kick so much axe I'll have to start my own sometime soon. *sigh* |

| For the first time since he awakened, Corona seems unable to put his thoughts into words. The images of the torture dimension flood through his mind, but he doesn't know what to say. He's leading the way towards the forest now, but it's still quite a ways away... He tries to explain the thoughts that are arriving in his mind as he gets closer to the forest. "...No. He won't die from the power of an ordinary Psi Warrior. The Dark One is not, by ordinary standards, strictly evil. His mastery is not over the forces of evil, but of darkness itself. He does evil acts, but his soul is bonded to what's called the Silver Azure. It gives him shadow powers, infused into his very existence. This connection is very similar to what the Psi Warriors achieve, but without a pact against evil, nor a pact against good. It's the ultimate power of neutrality... and any power based firmly in good or evil cannot harm him. He does not fear the Psi Warriors, Schwa. He fears YOU. There must be some reason why... You have a power that other Psi Warriors do not, but have the courage and resolve of the Psi Warriors to defeat your enemy. That is why the Dark One is trying to regain control of my body. Especially in this form, fully transformed and with a shield on my wings made of your Psi Energies, he could sacrifice me to buy him enough time to... Prepare himself. We can't give him time." Corona's voice has gone grim. He's reabsorbing memories from the forest very quickly as he approaches it... and it's not even in view yet. What horrors will he recall as they come even nearer? |

| As if on cue, the mountains in front of them give way to what seems at first to be a vast green plain, stretching out to the edges of paranormal sight. Upon closer inspection, it is revealed that it is not grass, but trees that rise from the ground in every corner of the enormous valley. But Corona doesn't stop. He keeps flying, and it seems as though he's cutting across to get to a different edge of the forest. Soon it's clear why he's not going to the center, as the bright green of the trees gives way to the bright green of grass. The valley extends further away from the forest, giving the only practical land access to the Forest of Sorrows. And standing in this path is an immense army of gigantic creatures. Each one has yellowish-brown skin bursting with muscles, a bald bestial face, rows of spiky green teeth, and is coincidentally as big as a house. They're all wielding burning wooden axes, with hafts the size of tree trunks. It's at least four hundred mountain trolls, and they're looking for trouble. Trouble which conveniently steps out of the forest in the form of two figures: The first is a black-haired man wearing black leather armor, carrying a wicked longsword inscribed with thousands of tiny runes which he holds in hands bound by indigo bandages. A flock of ravens suddenly descends from who-knows-where and joins together on his back, forming a cloak. The second figure is a far younger girl with the same black hair, wearing robes and jewelry all in shades of purple. She's also notable for the fact that she's floating a few feet off the ground, and seems slightly translucent. Corona quickly flies down and lands alongside the two, morphing back into the form of a robed human. In this shape, it is easy to see the patterns of the Concordant Oath lined up across the robes and skin. "Schwa, this is Ashra, guardian of the Forest of Sorrows, and Nira, who... It's complex, but basically she IS the Forest of Sorrows. They're brother and sister. Ashra, Nira, this is Schwa. If you couldn't tell already, he's a Psi Warrior. We seem to have arrived in time for a little party, I hope you don't mind if we join in." |

| (ooc: For clarification, I'm going to start using the whole "name: speech" style for talking. Otherwise, things could get very very confusing...) Nira: "Sounds like fun. Hopefully you can deal with these... See that mark on their axes? The litle star shape means this is the Diamond Clan, and their advantage over most trolls is that they can regenerate any damage they take. No weakness to fire or acid, I mean. You have to take them out all in one shot." She barely has enough time to finish speaking before the trolls charge. Simultaneously, Ashra runs forward, blade at the ready, as Nira begins concentrating. Corona brushes aside the outermost robe, pulling out a long black staff that couldn't possibly have fit inside the pocket he took it out of. He holds it in front of him, and it begins glowing with red energy. Nira finishes casting. What appears to be a black bolt of lightning rushes out of the sky, colliding fiercely with Ashra's runesword. Every single sigil lights up with violet fire as Ashra continues his mad dash forwards. He speeds up exponentially with the addition of the flames, and reaches the foremost troll before he's taken twenty steps. He leaps high into the air, holding his sword above his head as he twists through the sky. A beam of voidflare shoots out from the end of the sword as it spins laterally, causing a wall of darkness to envelop and destroy the first line of attackers. As he falls from the sky, he slices right through another troll. Corona is still storing energy... |
