Hey all! I've been working on a Super Mario Kart Hack for a while now, and now I've finally finished. (Well, almost. I couldn't figure out how to extract the graphics. I'm such a newb at that stuff lol) These are some of the things that have been changed:

New, harder courses (mostly just because I've added new shortcuts that are very risky)

New battle courses

Slightly different Item Probabilities

And some text changes

Here are some screenshots:






Here's a link to the IPS File: Mario_Kart_Krash

Use Lunar IPS to patch it to this ROM: "Super Mario Kart (U) [!].smc"

(yes, I know there are places where you can get trapped, I put them there on purpose because I thought it would be funny, so you might want to use savestates while playing to avoid them, in case you make a mistake)

If you have any comments about the hack, feel free to post here. I hope you guys enjoy it.

As much as I like SMK (see name) it bugs me that all the hacks I've played are only minor edits of the original tracks in most cases. A japanese hacker found out alot about the AI data and made an editor for it, though it seems kind of hard to use and only tolerates japanese ROMS (I corrupted mine). If this gets around, maybe we'll see more original tracks!.

That aside, I think you've presented the edits fairly well. So many hacks are incredibly tacky when it comes to this and I think you've done a good job making the tracks fairly clean. I still can't shake the original feel though, they're just so similar.

The battle courses generally mean free reign so it's dissapointing to see that they're so simple. You want intricate networks of walls, jump pads and plenty of item boxes to make the battlers work for their kills. Generally the only place you'll find people using these tracks is online so try it out there (if you're any good, that is).

As far as the current standard of SMK hacks goes, actually, this turned out pretty well. Give that utility a go if you have a japanese ROM on you, I'd really like to see some completely original tracks someday.

Glad you liked the hack. I think I'll start hacking the japenese version and try out that editor (not sure if I'll be any good at it though) Thanx for showing it to me.

Dan: the author of Make recently added support for the US ROM. (http://www.dirty.plus.com/MAKE/MAKEUS0071.zip)
Besides, note that I haven't given up on my own editor, and hope to have something to show sooner rather than later... I'll also need your help again at some point, of course.
