Introduction:
Well, it's about time that I make a thread for this. Yes, I froze my previous hack...it just wasn't working out. This hack, which I started recently, is to have ExGFX, custom blocks, custom sprites, custom music (though it will be inserted last so there will be more tracks), and maybe some other stuff. It also has a sort of story, it's not much, but it explains everything. I'm trying to make my levels less short and linear (those who have played my previous hacks should know what I mean). Many levels will have multiple paths through areas, and the route is not straight. Story: It is said that the Star Summit is where the Stars live, and that it could decide the fate of the universe. The Star Summit could only be accessed via a gateway at Peach's Castle. Bowser, being his usual self, kidnapped Peach and went through the gateway. He then commanded the Koopalings to split the gateway into seven pieces and guard them in their castles. How this thread will work: Like my previous hack's thread, not only will I post updates, but I will edit my first post with the updates. This ensures that anyone who wants to view them all at once can. Title Screen: 
The text at the top has a color animation. Level Screens: 
A screen of the level "Riding in the Clouds". It will likely be the third level. 
Use the Koopa to reach new heights! 
Hit the multi-coin block, but don't let the platform pass. 
Watch for the chainsaw... 
A different level which will likely be the first level in the second world. It has donut lifts!  The graphics were ripped from SMAS, but the corner tiles were tweaked due to them cutting off some corners.
There's another path to take here, which is a sort of secret. 
Here, either go right... 
...Or go down. 
A secret path. Secrets lie behind the brick walls! 
Some screens of a castle I'm working on. This is the castle entrance. (Yes, I know about the SMAS graphics, but the forest is at least a step away from that) 
Inside the castle. There are many pipes and many rooms, basically a big maze. 
You can enter some of the pipes. 
A different room. Watch for the reflecting fireball! 
A corridor with spiked balls on chains. Is that a secret up there? 
A screen of Peach's Castle. It doesn't have many enemies because it's the first level. 
There are two paths to take here. 
Watch out for fireballs! 
A screen of the top of Peach's Castle, accessible via an alternate path. 
A part with firebars. Mario's gone because he just took damage, and the screen was taken when he was flickering and invisible. D: 
A screenshot of a new level, called "Peach's Garden". Note that I got the different colored flowers working. 
Watch for Venus Fire Traps! 
How do you get to the ledge? 
A part with waterfalls. 
What's the vine for? 
... 
A bit of platforming. 
The castle levels will be long and filled with puzzles, instead of death traps packed with enemies. As you see, you must go up the staircase, but to get through the yellow blocks must be passable... 
My, that set of staircases looks important... 
How to hit the switch without trapping yourself? :O 
Another small puzzle. 
If you want the powerup hidden in one of the blocks, you have to avoid the Spinies! :O 
A Spiny guards that passage. 
Bounce off of the Koopa to reach the ledge! 
Some platforming action. 
There's something in that last block... 
It's an underwater level. :O At the start, you can go either left or right. 
Going left results in a powerup. 
Going right allows you to advance. 
See the Zs? :O 
Looks like I'll need a P-switch. 
The Yellow Switch Palace. What does that switch do? 
It made some coins appear...but also released the Koopas. Yes, it seems like a ripoff of the original one, but it's not. There's not much to do with switch palaces. 
As you see, there's a lot going on in this desert level (it has Pokeys, Money Moles, Volcano Lotuses, and fireballs!). 
Use the P-switch to get the Yoshi coin up there. 
You need to have a Mushroom to get those. Graphic Screens: 
I created custom sewer tiles, because YI's sewers don't match the style I'm using. 
I needed a forest tileset, so I made my own. Hopefully it doesn't suck as much as my sewer tileset. XD 
It's a garden tileset, complete with trees and flowers. This has been updated, so check the level screens. 
I took koala_knight's advice and put a gradient on the floor in my SMAS castle rip. 
This is meant to be a sandy/beach tileset. 
A desert/mountain tileset. Videos: The video is slightly outdated, because I've modified it as to fix the errors that everyone has pointed out, but it's meant to show the full design. General Update Screens: 
Remap power!! Ignore the incorrect poison mushroom and pirahna palettes, this is just for testing the remapping I did to use all those things at once (actually, I can also use flopping fish here, but it's not shown). 
As you see, the ON-OFF block has been changed from blue and red to green and yellow. This way, each color block changes based off of the corresponding color switch. EDIT: It has been changed back to red and blue.  ____________________ "There are 3 types of people in this world: Those who can count and those who can't."  |

I'm not using anything from that graphics hack. I ripped the graphics myself. 
Anyway, I'll get some new graphics to use, because I agree that SMAS is ripped from too often. ____________________ "There are 3 types of people in this world: Those who can count and those who can't." |

Posted by pieguy1372 Damn straight, that sewer tileset looks like lobster shit so you should just stick it to ripping, not creating. Otherwise it looks very awesome, especially the level design. ____________________ |

I'm stuck, though. Does anyone know of any good games to rip from (I only play SMW, SMAS, and YI )? ____________________ "There are 3 types of people in this world: Those who can count and those who can't." |

Why don't you try to go to a ROM site and look for other games? ____________________  |

*pieguy1372 bumps the thread*
I've got some new screens.
I needed a forest tileset, so I made my own. Hopefully it doesn't suck as much as my sewer tileset. XD
Some screens of a castle I'm working on. This is the castle entrance. (Yes, I know I'm still using SMAS graphics, but that forest is at least a step away from that)
Inside the castle. There are many pipes and many rooms, basically a big maze.
You can enter some of the pipes.
A different room. Watch for the reflecting fireball! EDIT: I know about the cutoff tile, no need to point it out.
A corridor with spiked balls on chains. Is that a secret up there? ____________________ "There are 3 types of people in this world: Those who can count and those who can't." |

Your castle looks a lot like the Forest Temple in my hack. Nice job though, I'm looking forward to this. |

Actually, that castle will be one of the later levels. Probably in the sixth world, or around there. ____________________ "There are 3 types of people in this world: Those who can count and those who can't." |

I've got some new screens.
A screen of Peach's Castle. It doesn't have many enemies because it's the first level.
There are two paths to take here.
Watch out for fireballs!
A screen of the top of Peach's Castle, accessible via an alternate path.
A part with firebars. Mario's gone because he just took damage, and the screen was taken when he was flickering and invisible. D: Please comment! I haven't been getting many comments lately...

From what I can see, the level design looks good so far. I just don't much like the SMB3as FG graphics in general, though. I'd suggest going in and trying to smooth out some of those harsh edges with some gradation. |

Posted by pieguy1372 Different of some people, I like the SMAS graphics. Your hack looks also interesting but I don't like the floor of the castle in the 5th picture in the top of the castle, the rest is great! Keep it up! ____________________ |

Wow! Fine, like Mario vs. Donkey Kong. The blocks look very similar to FPI's On/Off blocks but I like it anyway! ____________________ |

I got a new tileset done today.
It's a garden tileset, complete with trees and flowers!
