| Someone's must have noticed Winx Club. Really, such an underrated gem. It's about some fairies battling some witches... but that's a pretty bland description. Bloom is an earth girl, just minding her own business, but sees another girl being attacked by a big ogre. Well... guess all ogres are big, anyway. Anyway, he's beating up on the girl, and Bloom yells to leave her alone, and attack her instead. How she intended to fight the big ogre is anyone's guess, but it turns out Bloom herself has strong fairy magic within her. Turns out the other girl was a fairy, going by Stella, who figures Bloom must be a fairy. And so, life is normal, with Bloom going to the school of fairies, Alfea, along with Stella, and three other fairies. And an entire schoolfull of other fairies that don't matter all that much. They just go to school, and Bloom tries to understand herself: how is she a fairy? How does she use her powers? What, exactly, are her powers? It's not all so easy for Bloom and her friends though, as the witches are evil, three in particular. Well, guess most cartoon witches are, but I guess these three witches are even eviler. Some of the others seem more affected by peer pressure, but that's for another day. These three witches, they want Bloom's power, and that really puts her in danger once the three witches learn this. Why do they want Bloom's power? They want to rule the land. Or the universe. Or all that exists. Something like that. And that's how all goes. Or the short version of it all. Someone else must like the show, or be madly addicted to the show, or something... right? ...hello? |

| Bah. That's the trouble with bug testing: it doesn't help if you don't remember to fix it after finding it. I've gotten rid of most of them, but I seem to have forgotten to fix this one. Anyway, it's fixed now. No more crashing right before the final two levels  . |

| Well, it does have a few superficial similarities with Sailor Moon. With a short, vague description, I could easily imagine a summary making it sound like a Sailor Moon ripoff. They're both good shows, anyway. Don't really think Winx Club is a ripoff, though. Except possibly the transformation sequences... yeah, those had to be in the show somewhere  . |

| Despite everyone else's raving over the hack, I cannot do the same. This isn't that good. First, as others have mentioned, the enemy palettes just plain suck. The bright orange border around a lot of the enemies looks terrible. The Koopas, in particular, look awful: they're all orange, with a green or red outline, but then they go to green or red when they're hiding in their shells. And I won't even go into the sheer hideousness of the Porcupos' palette.... And while I know you are not the first to do so, changing Mario's graphics without also changing the TSA usually looks terrible. This hack is no exception. Mario tends to look entirely robotic, or something. The level design is pretty terrible. Many of the levels are extremely similar in design to their original counterparts, like 2-1 and 2-4, save for a poorly placed block or randomly placed enemy. Speaking of which, I usually hate firebars that aren't "connected" to something: it just looks bad, and most of your firebars are just randomly in midair, for seemingly no reason. And while putting a firebar on a ? block is OK, putting one directly underneath, making said powerup impossible to collect without taking a hit, is not. A lot of levels, particularly in World 3, seem to be a bunch of random objects thrown together, in completely random designs. Doing something like this well, in in Acmlm's game, takes a certain skill that you don't yet have. The levels are simply poorly designed. In World 1-2 and 2-2, you exit the underground/underwater section by going up a pipe that doesn't exist, right beside the flagpole. Not good. |

| Wow. Someone else has decided to tackle The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle. I was wondering if we'd ever get a second hack for the game . I'm not too crazy over your pipe level palette, though. The other two look OK, though. A word of caution if you're going to change the levels: Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck, and Wile E. Coyote all share a palette, yet they normally use their own palette from the others. If all three are in the same level, the palette used for Wile E. Coyote takes precedence over the other two, and all three will share his palette. If only Yosemite Sam and Daffy Duck share a level, without the coyote, then Yosemite Sam will borrow Daffy's palette. It's just a little warning for you, so you can either work on making sure that Daffy Duck looks all right with Wile E.'s palette, or Yosemite Sam looks OK with Daffy's or Wile E.'s palette. Or you could just limit one of the three in any level, but that might limit what you want to accomplish. |

| Another tricky point about those objects that extend to the ground: it's not mentioned anywhere, but the object number for the ground has to be lower than the object number for the object that goes to the ground. Most, but not all, of the objects go in order from left to right, so the safest way to handle it is to get an object from the end of a level to use as the object that reaches for the ground, and to make the ground an object from the beginning of the level. |

| I'm not sure if anyone's figured it out, but I have an idea what that second unknown value in the header is for... or at least party, if not fully. Setting that value from 32 to 63 makes the chomp rocks brown--the kind that "remember" where you left them when you travel off-screen. Other values make the chomp rocks the normal "grey" type--the kind that forget where you left them when you travel off-screen, and will return to their original position. Might be useful for some of you, and as far as I can find in these threads, there's been no mention of this.... |

Originally posted by hukkaClose. It's actually determined by both horizontal and vertical position, namely, by the tens digit of the vertical position. All enemies at vertical position 00-0F must be from lowest to highest number, left to right. All enemies at vertical position 10-1F must still be lowest going left to right, but must numerically come after all enemies in a vertical position from 00-0F, regardless of their horizontal positions. All enemies at vertical position 20-2F must come after the enemies from 00-1F, and all such enemies must go left to right. The enemies work just like that in vertical levels. It's a pain in Mario Improvement, and impossible in the Discombobulator. Plus, if you need to edit the level later, you must remember to use Mario Improvement only, and you must remember to turn off the "automatically sort enemies" feature. Easy to forget that, and as such, easy to be forced to annoyedly sort all the enemies all over again. |

| Everyone loves apples... heck, if you ask someone to think of a word that starts with A, what word will they probably come up with? Apple. Everyone loves those tasty treats, either alone, or as juice, or in pies, or a number of other ways. Then you have pears. They... exist. Some people eat them. Some juice companies dilute other juices with pear juice to save money. And... that's about it. If you think about it, apples and pears are fairly similar, as opposed to apples and bananas, or apples and oranges, which are more different. But apples and pears... they're practically siblings. And it's apparent that their mom played favorites, favoring the apple of her eye, and looked at her other child, the pear, like some disease. Pears are like the poor man's apple. How, or why, did this happen, anyway? Don't get me wrong--I prefer apples to pears, myself--but still, how did this happen? Certainly, there must be some people out there who prefer the pear to its more popular sister. Right? Heck, just about every fruit is more popular. Berries are cute, sweet, and juicy: pears are stringly and slimy. Pineapples are tangy and exotic: pears are lifeless and bland. Heck, lemons are more popular than pears! No one eats lemons, but everyone uses lemons for everything else: lemonade, lemon tarts, lemon donuts, lemon pies, lemon sherbet, lemon Pine-Sol, lemon vehicles... it just goes on and on! And what do pears get? Pear... in a tin can! Even prunes, for goodness sake! Old people like prunes, at least, but still, no one appreciates the poor pear. Even we like prunes more, mostly joking about the prunes, making fun of prunes... but we never take the time to make fun of pears. They just exist, and we couldn't care less. In short, pears suck. But you still have to feel a little bad for the poor--ooh, lemon! *Knocks the pear out of the way to see the lemon.* |

Originally posted by 46Bah... I know I fixed this, so I'm not sure why it's not working... I'm guessing I did something wrong creating the patch, or there was a problem uploading the fixed file, or something... I'll need to take care of that. Anyway, I'm glad you liked the hack . I was trying to get it challenging without it being unfair.I'm not sure how 7-12 worked for you... earlier versions had no enemies in that level, thanks to a glitch in Mario Improvement. That's been fixed, though I'm not even sure the "fixed" version's downloadable, as I'm not even sure if the proper patch is the one that's downloadable.... |

| Watermelons are great. They're also fairly popular: that's why I wasn't talking about them. Pears... who the heck ever mentions pears, or eats pears, though? Even raisins, people use in cookies, or they make fun of how awful they taste... but no one does that with pears. They're truly neglected. |

Originally posted by 46Where is the problem, exactly? Is it any particular part of the level, or an area you need to use the P-wing for, or... I'm not sure. I just played through 3-6 just fine starting the level small. Originally posted by 46There's something well hidden in 3-8 |

| I've re-uploaded the file. The last pipe before Bowser definitely works, assuming something dumb doesn't go awry here. In the 3-10 coin heaven, there was supposed to be a wall between the two sections. I had a bit of trouble with this area, admittedly, and at some point, for some reason, the wall seemed to have disappeared. It's back up, again. I'm not sure what could've been wrong with 3-9... everything seemed to work just fine for me there. |

| A hack that's been in the making for a long, long time. Or specifically, about 21 months. But it's here! http://www.geocities.com/plinko50000/zamn.zip Copy and paste, you know that drill. Many of the levels were made last year... then I hit a bit of a block, lack of more level ideas. Originally, this was a project with Stanley Decker, except I had disappeared from the Internet for a while, and then he disappeared, and in any event... well, that's then. This hack is now, here, and available for play. The hack changes the 55 levels of the game. Different levels, same graphics, same objective: save the victims. Some new challenges await with the new levels, though.... (edited by Frank15 on 01-12-05 04:53 AM) |

| Hmm... neon white walls? Slowed down? This is new to me. I've tried the patch myself to check that it worked correctly, and it does. Not sure what the problem might be.... | |||

| That's OK. I was somewhat not satisfied not having all the levels edited back when... this has all the levels changed, though I'll readily admit that it's somewhat unpolished, namely with the titles being the same and the credit level being minimally changed. |
