| Eeeeeeek! The last patch I submitted was made from an unclean ROM. Sorry about that!
Well, after several months I have finished my hack, titled Super Challenge World. I didn't know any ASM at the time, but I did put in some minor graphics hacking. There are nine worlds in the game, four mini-worlds that can be accessed by secret exits (mostly from the castles), and a total of 120 exits. The switch palaces are fiendishly long puzzle levels, but very entertaining. You can download and play it from SMW Central, or you could just click here: http://www.smwcentral.net/download.php?id=141&type=hack. Please tell me what you think of it!

| 1) Nothing new
2) Blah. Whats with the timer? 3) Whats the geen column dealy? 4)I'm not too fond of that hill... 5) Originalish, which is good 6) Looks like a screenshot from my old hack with a different background 
7) What is this? 8) Fishies 9) Pretty neat 10) Has potential 11) Hmm 12) Dangerous 13) Does mario swim through the lava? 14) Same question 15) Is the Goomba wearing glasses? 16) Looks tricky 17) Pretty original 18) Suicide on a platform 19) Crazy, but it works 20) Blue! Is this like a winter ghost house? 21) Nothing special Pretty good. I'll download it later. However, I reccomend not using high timer settings unless you have really long levels. |

| Hmm... It's extremely glitched up for me. All the graphics are junk, it freezes if I watch the opening demo for too long, and no message comes up in the intro level, so I'm stuck there forever. Am I applying the patch wrong, or is anyone else getting this?
I like that you've used a custom palette to give lighting effects to the sprites. I really hope that's not supposed to be a Spiny, though. I'm OK with the hill, (looks like you used existing tiles to put a face on it, which is neat) but the shoreline on deserty area is all wrong. |

Well, I think it goes downward if you go down the desert area... 
I can see some issues too... And, why are there two ways from the caste to Bowsers castle? Just curious _¬ And the pipes in the Overworld are somehow... plain (I mean the color) |

Completely garbled graphics for me. I even re-downloaded and re-patched.  ? |

| I haven't downloaded this yet. Maybe he accidentally mase it so that you have to apply it to a SMW rom that has a 200 byte header? Maybe not.
If that isn't it, then Kiwisauce, you need to recreate the patch and upload the new one. |

| If there are really 120 exits, this hack will take a LONG period of time to play. But when I download it the ROM only shows up lots of garbage instead of what it should be. Please check that if you have made the patch from a clean SMW ROM.
Or please reupload it. Note: It is 3:50 am here(Why do I stay up so late is because of the damn homework) |

Yeah, I made the patch from an unclean ROM. (It said "Super Mario World (Originaloriginal)". I kind of assumed that it was, you know, the original.) Sorry for making you all look at glitchy graphics!  I've updated it now.
In response to some of you: The time limits may seem generous, but you haven't played the level yet, now have you? Also, I didn't really want time to be an issue for this hack (except certain levels). I think it's more fun if you have time to explore. My hack does require knowledge of glitches or little used properties for certain secret exits. You can beat the game without knowing these, though. Mario DOES swim through the lava on the overworld, but not in the actual level (i.e. the reddish water). I'm not that nice... That goomba is a mutant in the nuclear waste area. BEWARE!!! (In that level I made nearly every enemy into a mutant goomba of some sort.) Bowser's castle does have two paths that lead to it. Hyper Hacker: Notice that it's a RED yoshi. The red yoshi is required for that level. BWAHAHAHAHA! (Translation: Good luck finding the red yoshi!) And no, the spikes don't actually come down. They're just for decoration. I'm not that mean, either... You all seem to dislike my hill.  Oh, well. It's not like you'll be staring at it very much.(edited by Kiwisauce on 10-06-06 06:09 PM) (edited by Kiwisauce on 10-06-06 06:10 PM) |

I wouldn't trust a ROM called "Super Mario World (Originaloriginal)". Seriously. 
"Super Mario World (U) [!]", on the other hand, sounds less suspicious. (edited by Stifu on 10-07-06 04:35 AM) |

| Hm.
I can't remember the last time I saw a hack release that I was actually immediately interested in trying. Which I think says more about me personally than it does about the hacking community.. Edit: Found a slight oversight in the first level.. Edit 2: Okay, I cleared out the first world. So far it's a very promising hack. The level design is good, and the graphics -- while still the original SMW graphics -- are very well put together. The only part I'm not impressed with is your sprite memory index settings. So far I've had enemies disappear, I've had platforms disappear, I've had item boxes that didn't spawn any items, not to mention all the sprite lag in the part with the Splittin' Chuck. Now, the lag part I can deal with. Even the original SMW had it sometimes. But randomly disappearing sprites -- sprites that may, in future levels, potentially be critical elements to solving a puzzle.. that's just never good. I would suggest playing around with the memory index and re-testing, see if anything works better. Maybe see if you can de-clutter a couple enemy-intense sections. Hopefully you'll be able to improve on an already good Hack. (edited by Kailieann on 10-06-06 11:56 PM) (edited by Kailieann on 10-07-06 12:15 AM) |

| Hah, my SMW ROM is named "Super Mario World ORIGINAL UNHACKED DO NOT EDIT.smc" and is read-only because I kept editing it. |

| Dude, your hack is really worth playing, but do you know it is VERY TERRIBLE to place 2 Layer 1 Mario Paths tiles one next to one? Mario's walking will become scrambled.
There is another problem that Layer 2 event tiles doesn't look correct on some places, please connect them together. Thanks. |

Originally posted by Kailieann Eh? That's... very odd. Maybe it has something to do with the sprite loading problems you're having. That hasn't ever happened to me on any computer I've tested the game on. Could you list some specific areas where the sprites don't load? I agree, it's not good to have important sprites mysteriously vanish, but it is kind of hard for me to fix it if I don't know where it's happening. Is anyone else having this problem?
Originally posted by 3.14159265358979323846 Err... do you know of any places where this happens in the hack? I've tested it pretty thoroughly, and I think I've fixed all the paths. I assume you just used RLM to open it, and viewed my overworld. Please let me know if you find anything wrong, though. Originally posted by 3.14159265358979323846 I'm not sure I know what you mean. As far as I know, all my events work properly. Could you post a screenshot or just give an example? |

| The screenshot I posted has nothing to do with disappearing sprites. It's at the end of the first level. You neglected to stretch the ground behind the goal all the way to the end of the last screen.
As for areas with disappearing sprites. Mushroom land 1, on the first screen, if I have Yoshi, and I trigger the popup mushrooms but don't collect them, half the koopas on top of the hill don't show up. Alternately, if I DO kill all the koopas on the slope, but don't kill the ones on top of the hill, the goombas at the bottom won't show up. And, if you follow one of the sliding blue koopas back to the beginning, it will slide right through the pipe. Really, I could keep going with this, but I think the problem is that you did your level design and testing based on the assumption that most people would go out of their way to collect most if not all of the powerups and kill most if not all of the enemies. The mushrooms are particularly bad, because unlike most enemies, they don't get cleared from RAM when you go off-screen, not until you get a fair distance away from them. |

| Okay, I tested Mushroom Land 1 again doing the same thing you did, and I can see what you mean about disappearing sprites. I think I stopped doing things that would cause this problem in later levels as I got better at level design, so I don't think any puzzles will be unsolvable due to this, but I'll try to unclutter the first few levels.
As for the ground past the goal post, I beat the level and watched the ending closely, but it seemed perfectly normal to me. I guess I'll stretch the ground out anyway. If anyone else finds something wrong with one of my levels, please tell me about it so I can fix the problem in my next release. Thanks! (edited by Kiwisauce on 10-08-06 02:19 AM) |
