The Lakitus can be in any level, they will spawn a sprite depending on palette FF.
Por example, let's say I want a normal Lakitu on level 1, so I use the Extended Animation Frames and I put "1400" on every frame. Then on level 2, I want a Thunder Lakitu, so I use the Extended Animation Frames and I put "2B00" on every frame. If you want the Lakitu to throw Shelless Green Koopas, just don't do anything. |

Just asking, which levels are the lakitus in? Would there be one in the first level, or is the game just like normal only with different lakitus? (Reffering to Glyph Phoenix's patch) |

Originally posted by Raccoon Sam The tilemaps of Lakitu's cloud should be fine if you don't change them. The problem with this "new" enemy is finding a suitable sprite memory that can be used for both Lakitu and the lightning, something besides 07 and 0C so Lakitu's Cloud doesn't glitch. |

That also messes up Lakitu's Cloud |

Originally posted by spel werdz rite Glyph Phoenix's patch does that and as for Lakitu throwing something random on frames, read this: Go into Lunar Magic, select "Edit Extended Animation Frames". Select "Normal" or any other entrie, leave the "Palette" entrie intact, put in the "Destination" FF and in the frames put "1400" or "2B00". If you want Lakitu to throw depending on the P-switch or the On/Off switch, just change them to that entrie. And as for the tilemaps of the Lakitu, here they are: Normal Lakitu 0x9DEE-0x9DF3 Pipe Dwelling Lakitu 0x16BE6-0x16BEB Both of them share the same graphics but have different tilemaps. |

Couldn't we just find the pointer to the sprite lakitu throws and change it depending on something random (i.e. Mario's X position or current frame)? |

Originally posted by Cirvante Making the Lakitu throw spinies and lightning can easily be accomplished if you know how to take advantage of PalEnemy and Lunar Magic's Extended Animation Frames. But to make the Lakitu have more HP, it would require some in-depth ASM hacking. The work I have done in SMW hacking only reaches the surface of ASM.
Yes, I'm already aware of that. But I have my own version right here. It appears we both take advantage of existing codes. |

You're totally missing my point here. I meant hacking a Lakitu so it can throw both spinies and lightning in the same level, and giving it more HP, so we could use it as a pseudo-boss.
As for your other idea: Here. |

Actually I used an existing code that allows me to have the original Lakitu and Thunder Lakitu in different levels, so there's no need to hack his x position.
What's this code? Spoiler:
PalEnemy. I did this as an example, so that instead of creating new sprites we should take advantage of existing ones. Thunder Lakitu is an example of this. KT and Ghettoyouth have already done this with their modified Bullet Bill Shooters. Perhaps, we should begin to hack the sprite generators so we can have the original and our own generators on different levels. |

hey! the blizzard Lakitu was my idea! ì_í (but I posted it to share it, so whatever XD)
hack the pallete and the graphics and you'll have a 90% YI Blizzard Lakitu (I think it throws the lighting to Yoshi instead of directly to the ground, and the fire was longer... Is there a way to make this?) |

Actually, Cirvy, it requires editing the tilemap. Normally lakitu is in same place as the fire. |

Post a patch. |

Well that was easy.
$01:EA32 = Sprite Lakitu throws. You just changed that so Lakitu throws Sumo Bro's lightning Now all you need to do is hack Lakitu so that it can throw Spinies as well as thunder (X position hacking, maybe?) and give him more HP, and we could have... Lakithunder! |

it's nothing new or hard to do, just need to change the sprite spawned by lakitu and some of the sprite tilemap |

Did you ever wanted to have a Thunder Lakitu just like in SMWR? Now it's posible, take a look at this:
There's the Thunder Lakitu in action, it seems that Mario will have trouble with this "new" enemy. |
