If you can't figure that out on your own and need help for that many things, there are strong chances you lack the motivation and skills needed to make such an ambitious hack.

Never mind, I figured it out. But, when I saved my course on it, it turned into Rainbow Road! What gives?

I've decided to quit "your" hack, because:

1) I don't want credit for it.
2) I've never played a Bubsy game.
3) It's a waste of my time in general.


I'm sorry, but if you want a Bubsy hack to be complete, do it yourself.

Jeez, now I'm left in the dust. Great. Just... Great.
I tried to make some graphics, but it didn't work out...
I can't make driver sprites AT ALL. Oh man, I hate this.

You should quit, DizzyForPigs. You should quit cause you can't do this by yourself.....

Incorrect. He shouldn't quit because he can do this by himself. However, he should quit because he seems to have a general lack of enthusiasm and effort ready to be put forward in this.

Editing the sprites in Mario Kart is (won't say simple as, never done it) editing the graphics via TLP, YY-CHAR, your choice, and tweaking palettes with the help of other friendly board users. In know way is something like this going to take one or two days to do, which you seemed to think. I'm also willing to bet that you just stumbled on the hacking scene within the past two weeks. But back to the point, patience is a key to sucsesfully completing a well made hack, and things can't be rushed or else they look like:

A: Just another "hack".
B: Crap.

Also, the concept of having others do major work for you in a hack is quite dumb. How are you going to give them the "special thanks"? I raised this same question with a kid who wanted others to draw all his sprites for his Sonic game a while back. He said he would give credit, I asked if the credit would be in the form of contributors names being jammed in every tile, and he said some unrepeatable remarks.

Just focus on your own project, set your own pace, and only do what feels right. Or don't, won't make any difference to me.

I will give them credit, and perhaps, one thing they want.

Super Mario Kart graphics hacking takes time and skill. You have to edit the sprites ahead of time, copy them gently and accurately to tile layer pro, and make sure that the colors are what you want them to be. Like I said, it's very hard. I've been working on a Super Mario Kart hack since last October, and it only has 6/8 of the characters fully complete.

I recommend beginning on something easy, like Super Mario Bros. As you get more and more farmiliar with Tile Layer Pro, graphics editing, etc., then it might be time for Super Mario Kart.

And it's even harder if you make graphics from scratch rather than merely editing the SMK ones...

I can't even hack SMB graphics. There all scrambled into no order at all. And the palllet makes it look mind-numbing.
