Here are some updates on Castlevania Chorus of Mysteries:



I've been messing around with the enemy data for our Castlevania hack. I've been testing out many hypothetical ideas for enemies. The most significant thing I was able to do so far was create this boss in the above screenshot using the engine for the original medusa boss. Here are some of the things I made it do:


- It moves very fast
- It moves across left and right and stays in that same row on the screen, moving up and down only slightly
- Unlike the medusa boss, it stays one color. And it's red.
- I sped up the animation of the sprite to make it look like it pulsates
- It shoots those little green things (originally the snakes), which chase you around in the air
- I gave it new graphics (though they might be a little out of place for this game)

In edition to messing with the enemies, I also have been creating a good deal of new sound effects. I have been able to mimic sound effects from Castlevania 2 identically. I also created several of my own. I also made them happen for certain situations (for example, giving the meat chop it's own sound effect). Nothing more advanced than that though.

The message blocks are supposed to be Bowser talking to Mario, right? The tone seemed about right if that's the case.

This is just a little thing I'm looking at working on, just for a little fun. It's based off of a picture of an Alucard sprite that I saw, that Thaddeus made, I shortened the legs to fit the Simon Belmont sprite. I'll have to try to figure out if I can ad a tile to the whip swinging animation though if I plan on doing anything with it.

Anyways, I think I want to make another Mario game hack. I want to continue with this treasure finding theme for Toad. But I want it to be a SMB3 hack. Does anyone happen to know if there is patch out there that swaps Mario's GFX for Toad's? If there is, did the hacker bother with the various power up GFX.

*Imagines Toad with raccoon tail and Toad in Hammer Bros. Suit*

Also, what SMB3 game editor do you guys recommend? I use Win XP.

I remember there's a hack out there called Toad Bros. (SMB1 Hack) It looked like Omniverse made that hack back in the day but as for Toad having sprites with suits doesn't exist. The Toad smb1 hack has some Toad sprites you might wanna use to jump start a SMB3 hack. Here's a preview...



And for hacking SMB3, take a look here. You'll have no prollem using those editors in Windows XP, but MI3 didn't work too well on my pc.
