Hmm...

5 and 6, two of my favorites, coming to GBA, which is good... and unfortunately, 3 - my favorite - is coming to DS, which I planned not to get for lack of games that interested me (and general disdain of the touchscreen concept). Damn it. Well, there's another hundred+ that I'll be spending when that comes out...

First this one, in 2003 (I think). Then (in order), EDS, Simbattle (recently renamed Moonlit Arena), Tek, Masters of Darkness (or something like that; it's now Xeogaming), Antireality, Cellar Doors, FFTRealm, and (just to point out stupidity and help some people) GameFAQs.

Of those, I no longer post at Tek or AR, and CD's no longer in existence as far as I know.

Yes it does. Most holidays are related to the church.

Yeah, there's a reason for that. Didn't the word "holiday" come from "holy" and "day"*? Now, isn't holiness a religious concept? Yeah, I thought so. So, skipping Groundhog Day, Thanksgiving, and Independence Day, it makes sense that all the holidays in the US have religious roots.

Aside from the little things that HH pointed out (TV, shit-colored BG, and overly bright temple), it looks great.

When people use the layouts of others, there's a very important step most of them take.

They get permission first, dumbass!

Plus which, the others are usually edited significantly. Yours isn't at all.

Alright, Wopple, I dunno what the hell is wrong with your layout. I tried something that seemed like it'd fix it, but it didn't appear to do anything.

It appears that you've closed too many tables, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, that was just explaining my edit, so you eren't confused.

Y'know what? I was going to answer that, but I'm not.

KNow why?

There's a lot of Spartans. And they all look the same in that bigass armor. But they are not all Master Chief - only one of them is. So, yeah, considering that extremely simple logic, I don't think that question deserves an answer.

Edit: It's good to see you found the info yourself.

Edit2: Oh, fuck, I'm completely off-topic.

I'm not so sure about this. I mean, that armor could be (if we're using any sort of rational logic) one hell of an unfair advantage.

When was the last time you punched solid metal and did some damage to it without hurting yourself?

Yes, but I don't have M&L: SS either, so don't feel bad. Still, I knew it had to be some Mario game...

It's been a while since I posted in here, but it's good to see that the humor hasn't run out.

Cat Lover, it doesn't matter if you're a newcomer or a demi-god, acting like a mod is against the rules, read 'em.


I'll agree. The hack got quite a bit of unneeded praise compared to many others. I wouldn't exactly agree with the NEGATIVE response that this seems to have triggered, but... there's other, more notable hacks out there, more deserving of praise. This isn't a bad hack that we're discussing here, though. Just a simple one that got more praise than it should have in comparison to some others here.

"Speed hacking" is more a curse than a gift; a rushed hack is more likely to be glitchy or have other problems than a non-rushed hack.


Now, as has been said, "dark" and "Mario" don't really go together. Also, the levels look unchanged, save for some new enemies. I'd recommend you slow down, take your time, and put more effort into the levels so they look different. It takes more than a few added enemies and a pallette change to interest anyone, trust me on that. To get anyone to care about a level hack (which this is), you'll need to change the levels considerably. Most of the people that play these hacks have beaten the original game at least once, so they aren't wanting what is basically more of the same. You have a start, but it needs more work.

Alright, just to clear something up, I never said you rushed. That was part of a comment to supernova.

Second, eh... Lemme be honest with you. I tried that idea long ago with another game, this is why I said "trust me on that". It didn't work out so well. It was actually received far worse than this has been, so perhaps the general mood here changed, I don't know. But I'd recommend at least a few obvious level changes. Maybe remove a powerup here and there, lengthen a jump a bit, remove a few 1-Ups. All you've done, judging from the screenshot (give us a few more in the future, please), is add enemies. But more can be done even keeping it similar to the original levels.

Just a warning: Most people would prefer seeing completely redone levels, so when this is finished, expect complaints about that. Do what you want to, but it won't always please people.
