The changes may occur but you might not have noticed them. Also, it may just be data the game has not accessed yet (maybe data for a later level, later song, song credits, bonus stage, certain enemy, etc etc). What you're doing is just corruption, a brute force method (though it can be very effective) in figuring out how the data in a game works.

Ok here's some screens of the bonus stages

Collected 3 Goal Cards - last one is the Star


Playing the Pipe-Guessing game, got 60 seconds to find it


Guessing this pipe


Right pipe!


But I took a while finding it, so I only get 3 1-Ups


Time to exit the bonus stage


Back to the map screen


Grabbed 3 goal-cards, last one here is the Flower


Taken to the coin collecting stage, fireballs are starting to rain!


The level continues with more coins being melted




And once time runs out, back to the mapscreen

It's definitely not too early to ask those kinds of questions, I've been working on the hack well over 16 months now. However I still have a good ways to go before the hack is complete. The most part is doing levels for Mario's side, but I've recently opened up a ton of accessible free code so now I can add just about anything I've ever wanted to add before, so it may be even longer. I'll shoot for the end of this year though.

Edit: Just had to add here that I created yet another new enemy. This enemy cannot be killed, it's called "Thor's Hammer Bros.". When you see the sky flash, watch out! That means he's about to throw hammers down on you!

(I couldn't capture the sky flashing with this and no, for now there is no sound effects)

Yeah, these are some awesome ideas. Only two things I can think of to suggest:

1) In the coin-collecting minigame (where you grab 500 frozen coins), won't it be too easy if you have a fire flower? Maybe you should add some frozen Goombas to make it interesting. (Just hack it so you don't lose a life or have to re-do the level if you die in the bonus game.)

2) Why make the first 2 cards useless? You should go to more rewarding games if they match. That is, if you have 2 cards the same, it chooses from a different set of minigames that tend to give you more bonuses, and if you get all 3 the same you go to one that's practically just giving it away.



1) Actually one of the drawbacks of firestorm is that you're limited to your fireballs since the game uses the player's fireball sprites. So if there are 5 fireballs falling from the sky at once and you try to throw one, you can't. It affects boomerang throwing as well. So it may make the level slightly easier, but not by much.

2) A more complicated bonus stage selection scheme is possible. I could do different bonus stages or make super easy versions of other bonus stages for all matching cards, or maybe double up the prizes. Only problem is that I'd have to create a butt load of bonus stages and I'd rather not have to do remakes of the same stage

Ok ok... well...

You guys wanted it and I sort of did it

Now, on the Warp Zone you can switch between Luigi and Mario, thus, you can complete the game as either Mario or Luigi. Right now their respective completeness of their worlds are seperate, but to make things interesting, I could make it so beating World 1 of Luigi's side will open open Worlds 2 and 3 for Mario and Luigi both, making for a HUGE amount of choices in the way you play. When switching between characters, you keep your coins, score, lives and items (though Mario/Luigi only items cannot be used by the other character).

Also, lets say Luigi had Fire Power before switching characters, if you switch to Mario, then back to Luigi, Luigi retains his fire power, hehe.

Edit: Ok it's official. Now you can play as Luigi or Mario by switching them on the World Select screen. Completing on one side will open up paths to both sides. Your inventory items do indeed transfer (buy an item on Mario's side and it shows up in Luigi's box and vice versa). However, you cannot choose each other's items (put a stop to that bwaaahahaha). This makes for even more interesting gaming.






Edit Again: I added actual power-up items of the Ice Flower and Star Feather that you can actually obtain in the level (couldn't do that before) make the game have 8 unique suits you can grab now (Super, Racoon, Fire, Panda, Mouser, Boomerang, Ice/Star). I'm thinking of adding another ability to Ice powers, but not sure what to add.

Interesting how this works. Everytime he "charges" at you, a number is increased. This number decides when he breaks his chain, not the timer, unlike with the Strategy guide says. This could make for some very interesting levels if chain chomps were more proan to breaking lose.

Thwomp Data:

Normal Thwomps:
0X86F6 = Rising speed
0X86B3 = Falling speed

0X86AB + 0x86AD = These two bytes combined affect the range at which the thwomp
will fall, I'm not entirely sure how it works, so play around with it.

M3I (Mario 3 Improvement) lets you edit what the Mushroom Houses contain as far as item choices go, so try using that.

You probably removed the sprite in the level that tells the game to place you on the other side. For the Tower Ending there are 2 enemies, you probably deleted them all.

Go to an unaltered rom, go to the Tower End, save that as a M3L file, then open that M3L file and save to rom offset, save it over your hack's Tower End and re-edit it and don't erase all enemies, just modify the one turtle there.

Well I did another Power-up. This one is Mario-only (leaving only one power-up left to get, thank goodness).

This is the SMB2-style heart shield. Use it, and you get 3 hearts. Getting hit with this will protect you from losing your current power (sorta like Magic Mario's power in MA1, but this applies to any power cept small).

Selecting the item


Notice: World is replaced with the heart amount.


About to get hit


Got hit, but retained powers, heart count decreased

oh sorry guys, but things like suits will not be made anymore. I've alrady got 5 new powers, so we don't need any. What I'm looking for is effect power-ups. Examples:

Firestorm: effect - rains fireballs

Safety Wings: effect - infinite flight (P-wing)

Mega Star: effect - Infinite star power

Hearts: effect - 3 heart protection

Things like that which don't add an ability, but rather compliments others.

You could make it more valuable by making coined enemies give 5 or 10 coins instead of just one. You could call it the Greed Flower. (The only problem I can see is that using this along with Fire Storm might be a little cheap.)


As said before, this is a standard feature in this hack

If luigi has 100 coins trade coins to get a mushroom..or somthing-.-


Something like an item shop? I've installed item shops so you can use coins to buy items now

Actually that's a good ability to add to the Ice Flower's powers, ability to freeze coins and water.

I said an idea in the other topic, a suit that you can swim in lava which you could go to new routes and find things like hidden level layouts, or pipes that lead to new areas that you can't get to in normal gameplay.


Boomerang Suit and Kuribo's shoe lets you walk on lava

Do you already have a POW Block-style powerup? It may be a bit, er, obsoleted by the Mega Star and other such powerups, but it's could come in handy (and possibly cost a bit less than the Mega Star).

--Kamek77


POW Block is a Luigi only item. You equip it and get 2 uses out of it (but you an equip it multiple times to added to the number of uses). Press select and it destroys most enemies on the screen (doesn't touch bosses).


Let's do a quick run down of what power-ups I DO have...

Mushroom
Flower
Leaf
Mouser Suit - Lets you create and throw Bob-ombs and do a spin attack.

Panda Suit - Lets you walk on ceilings and do a better spin attack than Mouser suit's

Boomerang Suit - Fire proof from fireballs and lava. Can throw boomerangs.

Level Clearance - Completes a level as soon as you enter it

Power Bag (Luigi Only)- You get 5 uses out of this. Press Select when you have a power and your current power will be removed and stored into your inventory box.

Starman (Luigi Only)- You get to use the star power at any time in a level by just pressing select. Very useful in those really hard spots.

P-Switch (Luigi Only) - Lets you use the P-switch any where in a level (doesn't work on "Collect ## coins" stages). Also turns enemies into red coins (worth 5).

Key - Used to unlock locks, of course.

Mega Star (Mario Only) - Gives you infinite star power for one level.

Safety Wings (dual effect) - For Luigi, with this equipped, when you fall in a hole, they wll activate. You will turn into Raccoon Luigi and be sent into the hair and giving flying time so you can recover to safety. Mario - Works like the P-Wing.

POW Block (Luigi Only) - Gets 2 uses. Press select to destroy all enemies on the screen, Equip multiple times for more uses (up to 9).

Hearts (Mario Only) - Gives Mario a 3 hit safety. Getting hit with this will prevent you from losing your current power up.

Kuribo's Shoe (Mario Only) - Lets you start with Kuribo's Shoe, you can walk on lava with this.

Stop Watch (Luigi Only) - Press select with this equipped to freeze enemies. You can equip this up to 8 times to have a multiplier effect. Eqipped twice, it freezes enemies twice as long and so on.

Ice Flower (Mario Only) - Gives you Ice powers. Ice balls turn enemies into ice blocks. Soon, you will be able to freeze coins and water. Also, there's is one secret way to obtain this power...

Star Feater (Luigi Only) - Gives you Star powers (not the same as invincibility). Lets Luigi fly from a standing point by holding down B to charge the P meter. Press Down + B will turn him into a Star. A Star can destroy any enemy and destroy blocks and SMW style blocks that you may be standing on. However, star mode decreases your time much faster than normal.

Fire Storm (Mario Only) - Causes fire balls to rain from the sky for an entire level.

And that's all I have for now.

I'm not looking for suit power up effects. A power up that has an effect.

I already listed the suits above (Mushroom, Fire, Leaf, Mouser, Panda, Boomerang, Ice, Star)
