I'm having trouble getting this to work. When I apply the patch to my rom, it says that it was successful. When I go to save the rom I get this message:

The Signature for this ROM is corrupt and cannot be recovered. The author stamp is invalid and most likely tampered with.

I go ahead and save it anyways, but nothing seems to be changed when I play it. (Unless I need some special save state).



You may need a new ROM or something, I've never had that problem so that's the only thing I can think of...

I think a SMRPG Hack, that would keep everything original to the Mario series, would be cool. I think that is something the original SMRPG failed to do...don't get me wrong though...the game itself is great and a treasure to the Mario series...but I think it could have been a lot better in some ways.
The idea I have would, of course, have Mario as the main character but you also could use Luigi, Toad, Princess, and Yoshi as characters to fight with in battles.

I'd love to see old enemies that were never really used for SMRPG too like Fire Bros., Boomerange Bros., Koopa Kids, Koopa Troopas (The regular ones), Para Goombas, Bullet Bill (Wasn't a fightable enemy), Nipper Plant, (Wasn't a fightable enemy), Thwomp (Wasn't a fightable enemy), and there are many others. I would just like to see some of the originality in it instead of some of these newer enemies and names that really never was seen in the Mario series. A SMRPG game that reflects on adventures from SMB, SMB3, and SMW.

I think that the Treasure Boxes in SMRPG would be cool if they were changed into the original Question Boxes, LOL! And different magic attacks would be cool too, like maybe Mario using his Raccoon tail to attack an enemy or something to that nature, and when Mario uses his fire ball attacks, let him change into his classic White/Red colors while he is doing that assault.

Anyways, all in all, I have a good idea for a new/old SMRPG hack but I just can't get use to using the Lazy Shell editor so it's something I wouldn't be able to do...on top of that, it is very complex too but if anyone would love to take up the concept and let me help out with it, I think it'd be a great hack!

Well, all the things you described can be possible, but it would require much manual sprite editing, coding, and other things, even with Lazy Shell. I'm to Lazy to make entirely new sprites for the game, so I'll leave it to someone who is better and faster then me in that area. =p


Yeah, I'm totally lost in all of that mess, LOL! Well, I can change sprite colors okay, haha!

I have an idea for a sequal to the original to Super Mario RPG...unfortunately, I don't have the time or the skills to figure out how to use Lazyshell and other programs to do this idea that I have myself. But I think if enough talented people work together, there could be a creation of one of the greatests Mario RPG games ever!!! I would hope someone would use my whole idea in a hack but I don't know anyone who would do it so I'll just throw all my ideas on here and...who knows!

Anyways, I'll just post my simple ideas on here as a guide, but if anyone would like to use these ideas on a SMRPG hack, please let me know, I think that would be great, however, I want it to stay close to what Nintendo would actually make it, which means, no cussing or anything in that nature.

At any rate, I'm not going to post everything at once but this is just a little guide from my ideas that I have completed...I dunno if it will amount to anything or not but I guess I could give it a shot!

Yeah...I'm working on an idea but it won't let me double post so it's going to take a bit of time for me to post the whole idea on under SUPER MARIO RPG 2...my thing was to leave Geno in his star form and eventually you'll visit with Prince Mallow under whatever senario I or someone else decides...

Hey is the first couple of areas for my hack idea...I know a lot of this stuff will probably sound corny but this is just my first and basic idea for the hack. The objective here is to make a good hack that is a sequal to the first SMRPG but also stays on the classic side of the Mario Series. Anyways, I'll post more on here when I finish working on things but for the mean time, here is the run down on the first two levels of the game...and thanks to all those who read...

___________________________________________________________________________________

MARIO BROS. PAD

_________________________________________________________________________________________

This is the first level of the game, Super Mario Quest. It is the home to Mario and Luigi, nothing special here but there are a few things that should be acknowledged about this level. First off, the home should be a little bit bigger than the one in SMRPG, I'd also like it to include a small kitchen area and a two room, Bedroom, of course one room would have red decor and the other would be green. Second, a couple of hidden items here would be helpful too like a couple of Mushrooms or something, just something to help give a decent start to the game. Third, outside of the home, there should be a Save Point and maybe a Treasure Box with a few coins or something. Those are the three main things about the level, any other ideas would be helpful but just remember that this is the very first level of the game and there really shouldn't be but so much here to do, at least at the start of the game.

SCENE - The story begins with Mario sleeping in his bed. All of a sudden, a familiar voice is heard...

LUIGI - MMMMAAAARRRRIIIIOOOO!!!!

SCENE - Then Luigi rushes into his brother's room, waking him from his peaceful sleep.

LUIGI - Mario!!! Wake up!!!

SCENE - Mario quickly jumps out of bed...

LUIGI - Mario, I just came back from town...the Mushroom Kingdom is being attacked by Bowser and his Koopa Army, it's WAR!!! Koopas are swarming the entire area, we have to do something, and quick!

SCENE - Mario then jumps a couple of times...

LUIGI - I'm heading out, I'll be waiting for you outside, let me know when you're ready!

SCENE - Luigi then rushes out of the room, giving you full control over Mario. Besides exploring the house, there really isn't anything else to do here. Step outside to find the Save Point and then once you're ready, go speak to Luigi who will be blocking the exit.

LUIGI - Ready, Bro.?
SCENE - As soon as Luigi asked that question, three Goombas appear pushing Luigi out of the way...

LUIGI - OUCH! MA...MA...MARIO!!! They've made it to us!!!!

SCENE - Mario then jumps on one of the Goombas to trigger a basic battle against three Goombas. Nothing special here but it just gives you a feel of how to battle and so on. This would be a good area to let Luigi give players a basic class on how to battle and about Timed Attacks. Though, I'm not sure that many new players to SMRPG would be playing this game, either way, I don't think it's a big deal. Defeat the Goombas for some Coins and Experience Points...

LUIGI - Mario! We have to hurry, I bet the road to town is swarming with Bowser's minions by now! Lets roll!

SCENE - Luigi then rushes away! Once you gain control of Mario again, this would probably be a good time to take a nap to recover from the battle and to save. Either way, once you're ready, head to the exit to get to the next level on the Map, Mushroom Way!

___________________________________________________________________________________

MUSHROOM WAY

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Now begins the adventure! Mushroom Way is basically a simple level with plenty of enemies to fight, Treasure Chests to find, and the first boss to battle at the end. There are only two enemies here in this level. Goomba, who is basically the same as in SMRPG. Koopa Troopa, who will be a new enemy to SMRPG. The Koopa Troopa will be the basic, ground Koopa Troopa, I'd perfer the ones from SMW but the SMB version of them is fine too. Nothing too special about them though, just something to give off that class Mario taste. One other important thing to remember on this level is that Luigi will basically be taking the place of Toad from SMRPG, you know, how on Mushroom Way in SMRPG, he gets trapped by some enemies through out the trip and if you rescue him, he gives you a special item. Well, this time Luigi will be trapped, and in the end, if you successfully rescue him both times, the Hammer Bros. who are guarding the exit, will capture Luigi, save him, and he'll decide to join you...simple enough, right? At the end of the level, you'll fight two Hammer Bros just like in SMRPG, nothing too different about them, but this will be the first Boss Battle of the game.

SCENE - As Mario enters this level, you can notice that the road is filled with both Goombas and Koopa Troopas. This is the best time to fight and earn Coins and Experience Points. Besides that, there should be a Treasure Chest or two through out the area containing coins or something. However, one of the more important things here is finding that Luigi has been cornered by a Koopa Troopa, contact the Koopa Troopa to enter a battle with them and defeat them.

LUIGI - Wow! Thanks for the help, Bro! I guess I wasn't watching where I was going...this place is just crawling with Goombas and Koopas! We'll we best get a move on! Oh......take this!

SCENE - Luigi will give Mario an item, perferabilly a Flower, but it really doesn't matter to me what it is. Afterwards, Luigi rushes away again. Continue fighting enemies to reach the other end of the road. The next area is basically a continuation of the road, still Goombas and Koopa Troopas are marching around, some may even jump out of the bushes and attack. Once again, it's the same idea here, fight enemies, find treasure, and then find Luigi. Once again, Luigi will be trapped by some enemies, defeat them and rescue Luigi once again!

LUIGI - Hmmm...I guess they are a lot tougher than I thought! Thanks again, Bro! Oh...I found this too, maybe you should have it since you've bailed me out so much today, ha ha!

SCENE - Luigi gives Mario another useful item and then rushes off again. Continue fighting through the area to reach the final area of the level. Once again, fight enemies and find treasure! At the end you'll see two Hammer Bros. and if you successfully helped Luigi during your fight through here, Luigi will be here too, but captured by the Hammer Bros.

LUIGI - MMMMAAAARRRRIIIIOOOO!!!!

HAMMER BROS - Huh? Well if it isn't Mario...guess you wanna head to town! Too bad! Bowser will never forgive us if we let the likes of you through here! Ha ha ha ha!!! It's hammer time!!!

SCENE - Thus bringing you to the boss battle...this should basically be the same as the one in SMRPG, nothing too different. Defeat them for some well deserved Coins and Experience Points! Also once you beat them, you'll find a Hammer in their place, this will be for Mario to use...

LUIGI - ......Bro! Thanks again!!! I guess I should be more careful, I thought I was a gonner! Hey look! It's a Hammer, I guess one of those brutes dropped it......I think you should take it, Mario! You know what else? I think it would be best that we continue our adventure together...today hasn't been my day, ha ha!

SCENE - Luigi will then join your Party...also, Mario will have the Hammer to equip! Well, once you're all done here, continue towards the exit to head to Mushroom Kingdom Town!

___________________________________________________________________________________

MUSHROOM KINGDOM TOWN

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Mushroom Kingdom Town is the capital of the Mushroom Kingdom, duh! It is also home to Mushroom Castle, where Princess Peach lives, and home to other familiar faces. As the Mario Bros enter town, it should be dark and you'll notice that enemies are terrorizing the Mushroom People here. Up head should be Mushroom Castle, but at this time, it should be locked! You'll have to find the Key somewhere in town. The enemies here will be the Goomba and Koopa Troopa, just like in Mushroom Way, but also, there will be two additions. A Lakitu will be floating around the town dropping Spinys around the area. Lakitu is a very tough enemy to fight, especially at this level since Mario and Luigi should both still be weak in levels. However, I want there to be an area where you can jump and engage the Lakitu in battle. The Lakitu shouldn't be too much different from SMRPG. Also, the Spiny will also be a common enemy here, nothing special about them either, just the same as in SMRPG, except that the Jump Abilities won't work well against them. Otherwise, fight enemies, assist the Mushroom People here to earn items and coins, maybe something special too! Of course, there is also the Lakitu to fight for some major Experience Points, but he is tough! Also, at this time, the Shop and Inn will be locked...once you take care of the issues inside Mushroom Castle and leave, the enemies will be gone and the Shop and Inn will reopen, until then, well, tough luck! As for any bosses here, there will be two difference instances that you'll engage Hammer Bros, this won't happen until you enter Mushroom Castle, otherwise, that's about it!

SCENE - As you enter then town, you'll see that the people here are in destress...

LUIGI - AHH!!! See Bro! This is much worse than when I was here, we've gotta help!!!

SCENE - Mario jumps, agreeing with Luigi. As I stated earlier, the only places to visit are the Mushroom People's homes, everything else will be locked! Fight enemies and rescue the people here, one of the people you rescue will give you a Key that they found. Obviously, the key goes to Mushroom Castle. Fight the rest of the enemies for Coins, Experience Points, and special items; otherwise, head into Mushroom Castle to be greeted by an angry Hammer Bros!

HAMMER BROS - ARGH! That...that Bowser!!! Making me work overtime!!!!! HUH?!?! MARIO......and....Green! If I beat you two I'll be sure for the next promotion!!!!

SCENE - Fight the Hammer Bros just like at Mushroom Way...they should be a little easier now since you've leveled up some, otherwise, nothing to it!
SCENE - Once you beat the Hammer Bros you can explore the castle, but the problem is, everything is locked tight right now ecept one door straight ahead, which should be the main door to the Throne Room! Fight the Koopa Troopas that roam around here and enter the Throne Room to find Bowser, Princess Peach, the Chancellor, and two Hammer Bros.

LUIGI - YOU...YOU BIG BOWSER!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!?!

BOWSER - Huh??? You dirty plumbers!!! How'd you get here...I see my armies are still made up of dummies!

PRINCESS PEACH - MARIO!!! LUIGI!! HELP ME!!!

BOWSER - Hush up, my Princess! I have big plans for you...and them too! Mah ha ha ha ha!!! You see, I've been waiting for the prefect time to settle an old score, but I'm like, what the hay! I'll take care of some unfinished business here too!!! Peach is mine now...you may have stopped me from completely taking over this kingdom...but you won't stop me from taking the others...Mah ha ha ha ha ha!!! HAMMER BROS! ATTACK!!!

SCENE - The two Hammer Bros will attack Mario and Luigi to cover Bowser's escape with the Princess. Once again, it's a simple battle, nothing to it! Afterwards, you see that Bowser and the Princess are gone...the Chancellor is also hiding in the corner, shaking. Speak to him......

CHANCELLOR - MY SPORES!!!! Mario...Luigi...is...is Bowser gone??? WHAT?!?!?! THE PRINCESS TOO!!! Oh no! What are we to do?! Bowser's up to his old tricks again...but why? I'm sure he has something up his sleeves Mario Bros and all I can do is plead that you two bring Princess Peach back home!

LUIGI - Of course we'll save her, sir! Right, Bro!?

SCENE - Mario jumps, agreeing with Luigi...then some of the Mushroom Kingdom Royal Guards begin to rush in, checking on things and reporting to the Chancellor!

ROYAL GUARD - CHANCELLOR!!! Are you......Mario...Luigi!!!

CHANCELLOR - Yes, I'm quite fine, thinks to the Mario Bros...but the Princess has been kidnapped by Bowser again!

ROYAL GUARD - Sir...we have more bad news, I'm afraid! Toad is missing...we can't find him and we can only think that he was taken by Bowser too!

CHANCELLOR - Oh no! Toad is the head of the Royal Guard and the Royal Advisor...oh dear...what are we to do??? Mario Bros, I hate to ask of this but...

LUIGI - No need, sir! Me and Mario will take care of Bowser!

CHANCELLOR - I wish there was something more I could do for you two, we're forever in your debt...! Please, stop by the Vault on your way out...I'm sure the items there will assist you two during your journey! Good luck and we will be awaiting your return along with the return of Toad and Princess Peach!

SCENE - With that, you now have full access to the entire castle to explore and maybe learn a little bit about what Bowser is up to! Visit the Vault and get some items that will help during your travels! Once you're done with exploring the rest of the castle, step outside and there will be a big earthquake and the screen will go dark. The next scene, we find Mario and Luigi laying in beds in the Guest Room of the castle...

CHANCELLOR - Thank goodness...you're both finally awake! We were worried sick!!!

LUIGI - Wait...we have to save Peach and Toad...what are we doing here?!?!

CHANCELLOR - There was a great earthquake...when we went to see what it was about, we found you two laying just outside the castle......it's been hours but I'm glad to see you two awake now...

SCENE - Suddenly, another one of the Royal Guards races into the room...

ROYAL GUARD - CHANCELLOR!!! Something is happening at Shoot Star Summit!!!

CHANCELLOR - HUH?!?!

SCENE - Mario and Luigi both jump out of bed...

LUIGI - We'll go check it out!!!

CHANCELLOR - ............I can't argue...please...just stay safe and come back once you find out any news!

SCENE - You may now leave the castle...of course, the talk of the townspeople is the big earthquake that accured a while ago. Besides that, you may now visit the Inn and the Shop. Of course, the Shop is where you need to go to stock up on items and equipment. The basic items to be sold here include the Mushroom, Honey Syrup, 1-Up Shroom, and Able Juice. Another thing, as far as equipment goes, I believe that Luigi should still stay unarmed at the moment, but they should both get some sort of armor and then there should be a couple of accessories to choose from if you have the coins. Otherwise, once you're all done here, you can leave and head to Shooting Star Summit.

___________________________________________________________________________________

SHOOTING STAR SUMMIT

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Shooting Star Summit is basically a mix between SMRPG Star Hill and PM Shooting Star Summit. I don't really think this would be good as a long level at this point. The level is basically resembling a spiral mountain that you climb, just like in PM, however, the layout is the same as SMRPG Star Hill. Otherwise, I don't know what else to say about this level except get to the top of the summit. Although, it wouldn't be a bad idea to fight enemies on this level, I'm not sure what enemies would be good for a level like this. Anyways, make it to the top of the summit to find a familiar face, Croco and his gang of Theives. However, the only enemy that you'll be fighting here is the Thief, these guys are the same as the Crook from SMRPG, I just wanted to rename them. However, they are quick and have a habbit of running away, beat them for some coins and Experience Points. Otherwise...though this level doesn't look like much now...I plan on using it to gain entrance to a Secret World that can be unlocked near the end of the game.

SCENE - Mario enters the level and you can begin exploring the summit, there should be a large Star Gate that should be opened for you to go through...nothing to it but to follow the long road around and around and around until you reach the top of the summit. However, the enemies known as Theif, can drop down for a surprise attack on you. At any rate, the goal here is to reach the top of the summit to find Croco and some of his gang, looking at a Red Star...

CROCO - HUH?! Mario...and...errrr...Greenie?! What brings you here???

LUIGI - It's Luigi!!!

CROCO - This star, huh? Ha ha ha! It's not whatcha think...you see...I'm hired as a treasure hunter to search for the valuable treasures from around the world! I heard word that there could be something worth finding here so I checked...low and behold...a star...MY STAR! I found it and it is MINE!!! MINE...MINE...MINE...!!!

LUIGI - Wait a minute...that star looks familiar!!!

CROCO - YES, CAUSE IT'S MINE! AND NOT YOU OR THAT LARD WARIO IS GONNA GET IT!!! I leave my gang to see you guys out!!! Ha ha ha!!!

SCENE - The six Theives that were around Croco will attack you, triggering a battle, this will allow Croco to get away with the star. Beat the baddies for the next scene...
LUIGI - OH NO! Mario...that Croco guy has run off somewhere...what are we going to do now?

SCENE - While Luigi and Mario look around...a familiar star from Star World pays a visit...

???? - Hey...MARIO??? Could it be?!?! Of course!!!

SCENE - Mario and Luigi approch the star person...

???? - What?! You don't remember me...! Ha ha ha...well, I guess you wouldn't, not in this form! I'm Geno!

LUIGI - Ahh...Mario has told me about a great adventure you two had, what brings you here???

GENO - Well...I come from the Star Kingdom...it's a total mess up there! Someone from your world has caused a great quake that even the skies shook! The seven stars from Star World have plummited to the kingdoms of this world, but to make matters worse, a once sealed gate in our kingdom has broken and I fear that a powerful army could force through...for revenge of a past battle!

LUIGI - Sounds like Bowser! Bro, we have to stop him!!!

GENO - Bowser, huh? If this is so, Mario and Luigi, you both have to stop him and recover the seven stars! What?!?! He's kidnapped Princess Peach as well!?!? This is terrible...

SCENE - Another star flies towards the Bros and Geno as they talk...

???? - There you are!

GENO - Huh!!!

???? - We need your help back at the kingdom...we've got BIGGER trouble!!! Please hurry!!!

GENO - Please...Mario Bros...I leave this to you! Find those stars, I must go, but we'll meet again!

SCENE - Both stars fly into the skies...

LUIGI - That...that...BIG meanie, Bowser butt! We've gotta stop him once and for all this time!!! But for now, we have to find that mean, purple dino...the only place around here I can think of that he went would be to Mushroom Valley! I heard that there are hidden caves and stuff there that some of the baddies hide out at! Maybe it's time we clean it up and hopefully we can find that star!

SCENE - Mario jumps in agreement with Luigi and now you are able to leave the level...by making your way back down the summit! It shouldn't be anything to it, but this is why I don't want this to be a long level, you'll visit here enough. Anyways, leave and the map will show a never level, Mushroom Valley!

___________________________________________________________________________________

MUSHROOM VALLEY

_________________________________________________________________________________________

This level is a mix between the SMRPG Mushroom Way and Bandit's Way, however, I really would like this level to be like a maze with a few intrances to caves and such. Once again, not a terribally hard level, but not too easy either. The end of the level will be inside a cave hideout where you'll find Croco and some more of his Theives. However, beat him to get the key to the back room of the cave where a terrible monster is who now has the star that the Bros are looking for. I have no idea what to make this monster or what he should be or anything, I leave that up to someone else but to whomever does the Major Boss Battle, keep the monster boss as close to a Mario game as possible, but at the same time having the balance of a tough battle and so on. Of course, you win the big battle to gain the first star. Besides all that, enemies in the level will include the usual Goomba, Koopa Troopa, Spiny, and there should also be a few Thieves hiding out to jump you! Also in some of the cave hideouts, there should be a stash of coins or items, maybe even a rare item hidden in one of the caves. Anyways, I'm hoping for a fun level here but nothing too frustraiting to make the game annoying!

SCENE - You enter the level and make your way through the maze of trees, bushes, and hills; explore the caves and fight enemies. Make it to the next area of the level, I think this would be a good place to put a puzzle or something...maybe the idea that the bridge is out or something to that nature...the next area of the level I would want there to be a Treasure Box with a Super Star inside, this way you can knock out the several enemies in the area and earn a easy level up! Enter the cave entrance for to find Croco and his gang.

CROCO - Doggone it! I figured you'd come here! Guess there's no other way to settle this, besides, I owe you some payback from our meetings years ago!

SCENE - Thus you enter a battle with Croco and four of his Thieves. Croco has the habbit of stealing items and stuff so that can be extremely annoying, otherwise, fight him until he's done for!

CROCO - Ouch......ohhh......my head!

LUIGI - Give us the star you bad dino, or we'll whip ya some more!!!

SCENE - Croco then tosses over a key to the door behind him...

CROCO - I knew this was gonna happen...I can't stand you two! I locked the star up with my pet monster! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Have fun getting it back, fools! Payback is sweet, LATER!
SCENE - Croco then runs out the cave leaving Mario and Luigi. There should be a Treasure Box with a Mushroom or something in it, the kind that recovers everything 100%, and a Save Point wouldn't hurt either. Once your ready, unlock the door and go fight the Major Boss Battle for the star. I'll leave the rest to whomever does the monster and all. Win the battle, get the star, then Luigi will suggest you return to Mushroom Kingdom Town to speak with the Chancellor! There will be an exit that is now opened behind where you fought the monster, this will allow you to leave without having to go through the entire level again!

"Serious hacking"? Hardly. Lazy Shell is just a short cut (and not a great one at that). Is it really so hard to look up some SMRPG data documentation and just do it yourself? :\


I know for me, I wouldn't know where to begin...-UGH-

Speaking of the Koopa Kids, I was totally shocked to actually seem them in M&LSSS...but I think it would be cool to see them in an SMRPG Hack, though, that'd be difficult with all the work to do to occomplish that, LOL!

I am having an issue with a few sounds (Bowser Door Opening/Bowser Claw Attack) and it sounds horribly distorted. I'm not sure if it's the RoM and the Snes9x version that is doing it. I am using 1.43 (I am going to degrade and see what that does)

Any advice?


I have zsnes and it does the same thing, I wanna say it's just the ROM though but I'm not 100% sure either...

..........Here is the next several levels to my SMRPG Hack game idea! Thanks to everyone who has been reading and sorry I haven't been updating much, been very busy, LOL!

___________________________________________________________________________________

MUSHROOM KINGDOM TOWN
(2ND VISIT)

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Very little has changed here in town, but you can not continue the adventure until you revisit here and speak with the Chancellor. Anyways, there really isn't anything new here to do, but if someone wants to change that then that's cool, but I really don't think it would be necessary. Restock on items and whatever, while you're here, otherwise, nothing else to do but enter Mushroom Castle.

SCENE - As you enter town, head on over to Mushroom Castle and then continue on to the Throne Room and speak with the Chancellor.

CHANCELLOR - Ah...Mario and Luigi, you have returned!

SCENE - The screen then goes dark and then the next scene continues with Mario, Luigi, and the Chancellor talking again. That was just to show the catching up on things and information, of course.

CHANCELLOR - Hmmm...we're in grave danger I'm afraid! If the seven stars from the Star Kingdom have fallen to our world, I would have to assume that Bowser has caused this and that he has some sort of secret weapon! To make matters worse, I'm still worried about our beloved Princess and Toad! However, I would think that if you guys travel around and find all the fallen stars, then you'll be lead back to Bowser...I really don't think it would be a wise decision to face him right now......

SCENE - Suddenly, one of the Royal Guards races into the Throne Room with urgent news!

ROYAL GUARD - CHANCELLOR! I HAVE IMPORTANT NEWS FROM ROSE TOWN!!!

CHANCELLOR - Huh???

ROYAL GUARD - The townspeople there in Rose Town are being attacked by...BEES!

CHANCELLOR - OH MY! This is terrible!!!

ROYAL GUARD - The rumor is, something has fallen near the forest and has caused the bees to attack!
LUIGI - Hey...Bro, are you thinking what I'm thinking???

SCENE - Mario jumps!

LUIGI - Chancellor, I bet another one of those stars has fallen in that forest! Maybe journying to find it, we can learn something about Bowser's plans and maybe even find out where Toad could be!

CHANCELLOR - Yes...I fear that if this problem in Rose Town isn't taken care of, then the problem could come and disturb our town as well. Rose Town is part of our kingdom, thus, we must help them anyway! Mario and Luigi, I once again wish you luck and please...please come back in one piece!

SCENE - Once you regain control of Mario, you can do whatever. Leave town and a new area on the map will appear, now head to Midas Mountain!

___________________________________________________________________________________

MIDAS MOUNTAIN

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Midas Mountain is basically an underground passage following the mostly dried up river. There isn't anything to special about this level, but maybe it is time that Luigi finds some sort of equipment to use as a weapon. Otherwise, the enemies here will be all new guys. Buzzy Beetle, just like the ones from SMB Series, their defense is high and Fire attacks do no damage, they are a bit tough but not unbeatable! Bumble Bee, these are just like the Buzzy's from SMRPG that you find in Forest Maze, only a little stronger and you always find these guys in a pack of no less than four. A few Goombas and Koopa Troopas reappearing here wouldn't hurt too much either. Anyways, reach the otherside of the mountain for the exit, this shouldn't be a severely long level but a nice puzzle to solve to reach the exit would be helpful in keeping this from being boring. Once again, the entire level is underground and is part of the once, Midas River, which is basically dried up now. Not much else to say about this place...

___________________________________________________________________________________

TADPOLE POND

_________________________________________________________________________________________

After making it through the Midas Mountain, our heros find themselves at Tadpole Pond, unfortunately, this here aren't all that well since the days of SMRPG, the pond is very dirty and swimming with Cheep Cheeps as well as the land being dry looking. There isn't much that the Mario Bros can do here right now but talk to the few frogs who still live here, including an old friend, Frogfucius. This level, later on, will open up a path to a small village, but for right now, I'll go through this level on the first visit! The only enemy you will meet here will be the Cheep Cheep, they are a renamed SMRPG enemy, Goby. These guys shouldn't be too difficult if the right Special Attacks are used.

SCENE - As you enter the level, you see that the grass is dried up and that there aren't many trees around like it use to be. The water also looks pretty nasty and the tadpoles aren't around anymore. There are a very few frogs around whom you can talk to, they will tell you how the Midas River dried up and the Cheep Cheeps poisoned the water in the pond. There isn't much here to explore but somewhere there should be a small nest like area where you can speak to Frogfucius...

FROGFUCIUS - Well...well...if it isn't my dear friend, Mario! Oh...and his brother, Luigi! Come, have a seat! Oh, what happened, you ask? Well, not too long ago, the Midas River dried up and for some reason, these bothersome fish began hanging around our pond, poisoning it, running off all the tadpoles who use to live here. I'm not sure what the cause of all of this is but even us Frogs are unable to swim anymore! I wish there was something we could do, but I'm afraid we can't do a thing until those nasty fish are gone...

LUIGI - Hey! Me and Mario can take care of those pesky fish!

FROGFUCUIS - You think so? Well...ha ha ha...you are the Super Mario Bros, why not?!

SCENE - There should be an area where you can jump into the water and fight all the Cheep-Cheeps in the water. Fight them all then go back and speak with Frogfucius!

FROGFUCIUS - Well done!!! But......the water is still very dirty! If only there were a remedy to cleanse the water and maybe things would turn back to normal! Well, you did get rid of those fish! Here take this as a reward!

SCENE - You should received some rare and valued Frog Coins for your help! Leave the level now, there isn't anything else that can be done until later!

___________________________________________________________________________________

GARDEN ROAD

_________________________________________________________________________________________

When you finished the Midas Mountain level, the map opened up to Tadpole Pond and Garden Road! Garden Road is basically a new name for the SMRPG Rose Way. This level should be designed to look like a garden, maybe like a maze type level with small waterways and stuff. There are a few Mushroom People here who call themselves farmers. They'll talk about being the main producer of food in the Mushroom Kingdom and that their hometown, Rose Town, is being attacked by Bumble Bees and that some of those bees are trying to destroy the vegitation here. They also said that Shy Guys have also began stealing food and stuff too! Anyways, the only two enemies here are the Bumble Bee, the same as from Midas Mountain, and the Shy Guy, the red ones just like from SMRPG. Anyways, as the main goal on many levels, find treasure, talk to people, and get out of the maze to the other exit to leave the level! Otherwise, there really isn't much else to say about this level...

___________________________________________________________________________________

ROSE TOWN

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Now brings us to the familiar, SMRPG town, Rose Town! Here you find that the town is swarming with Bumble Bees, which by now, shouldn't be a problem to defeat! Just like in Mushroom Kingdom Town, help the Mushroom People by fighting off the bees and get rewards and stuff, the people will also fill you in that something has fallen into the forest just north of town. As you visit around and stuff, you'll find the usual Inn and Shop, however, the Inn, Gaz from SMRPG, is now grown up and in charge of the place, not only that, but he is also Mayor of the town! Also, something else that is important, the Geno doll should be stored in a glass case somewhere in the room, this will be important for later in the game! Anyways, there is much to do here, defeat all the bees and be sure to speak to Gaz! Afterwards, it's time to go to the forest to figure out what fell from the sky, as if we didn't already know, LOL! Anyways, the only enemies to fight here is the many Bumble Bees, which are the same as the ones in the other levels.

SCENE - You enter the level and notice that the Mushroom People here are under attack from the forest bees! One of the townspeople will approach you.

TYLER - Hey! You two...could you be the Mario Bros!?

LUIGI - Oh yeah!

TYLER - Oh boy! Could we ever use your help! You see, ever since something fell in the forest, these bees have been going crazy, attacking people and stuff. Most everyone is hiding inside their homes but there are a few like me that are trying to brave the attacks, looking for help or some way of stopping them!

LUIGI - Come on Bro! Lets kick some buzzy butt!

SCENE - Now fight all of the bees here, saving the few townspeople who are still out, defeat them all and Tyler will give you a special reward. You can now explore the rest of the town but the most important thing to do here is to visit the Inn for a surprise!

GAZ - Huh! NO WAY!!! It's...it's...SUPER MARIO!!!

LUIGI - Hey, what about me???

GAZ - Wow, don't you remember me? I was the young kid who knocked you out a long time ago with my Geno doll, ha ha ha! Well, I'm grown up now, running this Inn, and...guess what else??? I'm also the Mayor of this town!!!

LUIGI - Mayor??? Then you must know something about the bees that were attacking here!

GAZ - Bees? No, I've been stuck in here most of the week!

LUIGI - ......Nevermind......

GAZ - Say, what brings you all the way over here???

LUIGI - Me and Mario are looking for these stars that feel from the sky, we think one of them could be in the forest just north of here!

GAZ - You know, come to think of it, there was this guy from Mushroom Kingdom Town saying that he was trying to trackdown a princess, he came here for a rest, he looked terrible...then he up and left not too long ago...at least, I think he went into the forest.

LUIGI - Mario! That sounds like Toad! But...why would Toad want to travel into the forest unless Bowser was there???

GAZ - Toad, is his name??? Wow! All these famous people visiting town, ha ha ha! Well...it was nice seeing you again Mario! And, yeah, over there, I have that Geno doll in a special case...I will never forget that day when he came alive...do you think it will ever happen again?

SCENE - After speaking with Gaz, you now have the directions to head to the forest, but if you haven't already, it is worth visiting the Shop before leaving! Mario and Luigi both need new weapons, armor, and accessories; once again, I'll leave that up for someone else to do. It is also time to stock up on items as well. Once you're all ready, leave town and head north to the Forest of Illusion!

___________________________________________________________________________________

FOREST OF ILLUSION

_________________________________________________________________________________________

The Forest of Illusion is basically like the Forest Maze from SMRPG and Forever Forest from PM. The entire forest is a maze and puzzle to itself, once again, I'll leave someone else to constructing this level. It is long and somewhat difficult but nothing too terrible if you think! There are also plenty of enemies here, such as the Bumble Bee from the other levels. Wiggler will make his appearance here, he's the same as the one in SMRPG. Then there is the enemy, Shroom, which is basically the new name of the SMRPG Amanita, nothing else too different about them though. Also, the Shy Guy will also be hiding around here too! It seems like forever by now that you haven't fought a boss so blocking the exit of the forest is the Queen Bee boss who is basically a giant version of the Bumble Bee. She is strong but not too difficult, the biggest problem here is being poisoned and stuff. This level is where you also gain your next Party member, Toad. Toad in some respects is taking the place of Mallow from SMRPG. Most of his weapons are like sticks and staffs and rods, things like that. Here, he should already be equipped with a staff or something. His Special Attacks, at this point, I haven't really figured out yet, but I'll hopefully get some ideas when the time comes. Otherwise, that is about it, also, there should be a few Mushroom People scattered around the forest, one of them should speak of a hidden treasure here, just like in SMRPG, another one should state that he saw some ghost take some magic star to the Ghost Mansion on the hill, this, of course, will be the next place the team will visit.

SCENE - Once you enter the level, the first puzzle or maze should begin. Fight enemies and get treasures along the way, make it through and there should be a cave you can enter where you'll find Toad being attacked by five Bumble Bees. Once you enter the cave, the bees will immediately attack you so, there isn't much to say at this point, beat them and speak to Toad!

TOAD - !!!!!.........MARIO BROS!!! Did you come here to find me???

LUIGI - Yeah, and the Chancellor is worried sick about you and the Princess!

TOAD - Guys, I've really let everyone down! I tried stopping Bowser but I seemed to have really screwed up this one! When Bowser came to Mushroom Kingdom and kidnapped the Princess, you guys showed up and were being kept busy by the Hammer Bros! Bowser quickly left onto his Airship, which I followed to this point. I was able to set up a trap with some Bob-ombs over in the Midas Mountains, his airship went down, but somewhere on the otherside of this forest near the Mole Mountains! I came through Rose Town and these bees were everywhere, I got chased into this forest and now I'm totally lost!

LUIGI - Wow...sounds like you've been busy, huh?!

TOAD - I'm worried, I know Peach is on that airship but I wonder now if she is hurt?

LUIGI - Don't worry buddy! Me and Mario have come this way to set things straight with ol' Bowser butt!

TOAD - Yeah! Well...I'm coming too! I can't let you guys have all the fun without me, ha ha! It'll be like back in the day when we all use to adventure together!

LUIGI - GREAT! But...by the way...have you heard about anything in this forest, concerning a star or something that fell from the sky?

TOAD - When I was being chased into the forest, I saw some of those pesky Boos who chased me into this cave, they seemed to be worked up about finding something! I think those Boos were the ones who did something to those bees to make them go so darn crazy! But I really don't know why...

LUIGI - Well, Mario! I guess we'll have to continue our search!

SCENE - Toad as now joined the Party and now it is time to leave the cave and continue to the next puzzle or maze in the second area of the forest. I really don't have anymore ideas about the place but skipping to the end of this level, you'll find a big bee who is blocking the way and seems very angry!

TOAD - MA...MA...LUIGI!!! IT'S THE QUEEN BEE!!!

LUIGI - MOMMA MIA!!!

SCENE - Fight the Queen Bee boss, also helping her will be a couple of Bumble Bees. Win the battle and the exit will be cleared for you to pass. The next level is the Boo Mansion!

___________________________________________________________________________________

KING BOO'S MANSION

_________________________________________________________________________________________

This is going to be one of the toughest levels yet in the game. I really want the entire hanted house look and feel here, the house is a terrible maze of traps...of course there will be hints to help along the way. The enemies here include the Boo, who is the same as Big Boo from SMRPG, just a better name I gave them, LOL! Also the Shy Spook, who are the new names for the SMRPG Reaper will also be a common enemy here! There should also be Phantom, who are basically the SMRPG Fireballs, but instead of being blue, they should be green, like the ones from PM2. One other enemy that should be here is the tough, Box Ghost, a new name for the SMRPG Pandorite, this guy is extremely tough but beating him will give you a very special item. Besides all that, the Major Boss Battle here will be against, none other than, King Boo! He should be tough, he can also summon the Boo, Shy Spook, and Phantom; but no more than four of them during battle. I'm not sure what else to have in this battle, I'll leave that up to whomever but King Boo should basically be a big Boo with a crown, oh, and being very powerful, of course, LOL!

SCENE - As you enter the mansion, you hear a voice...

???? - OoOoOoOoOo......WhO dArEs EnTeR mY hOmE?!?! LeAvE oR dIe!!!

SCENE - Begin exploring the first floor of the mansion, of couse, this is where someone elses ideas on the level design and the puzzles or whatever, will come into play. Each floor you make it to will, you'll be warned to leave by that same voice from the beginning. Fight your way through and solve to puzzles to move on, as well as find the treasures. King Boo lies in the bottom basement level, there should be a room where there's a Save Point and recovery Mushroom before you move on to the boss.

KING BOO - Mah ha ha ha ha hahaha!!! I see you idiots failed to heed my warnings!!!

LUIGI - Ohhhhhh...I...I...remember this voice.....Ma...Ma...Maaaarrrriiiioooo!!!

KING BOO - BOOOOOO!!! HA HA HA!!!

TOAD - AHHHHH!!!

KING BOO - What dummies!!! What do you fools want that you must bother me?!

TOAD - You're the one who desturbed the bees and got them to attack the Mushroom People of Rose Town!

KING BOO - Ha ha ha! Funny prank, huh? You see, I heard tale that a wonderful treasure fell from the sky and I wanted it, but those stupid bees were in the way, so I figured we would frighten them to make them go crazy, elsewhere, Ha ha ha!!! Now I have this lovely and most powerful star and those dumb bugs are out of my forest!

LUIGI - Y...YO...YOU...AR...AREN'T...YOU AREN'T GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!!

KING BOO - Ha! Come get me then you freaks!!!!!

SCENE - Thus the Major Boss Battle begins, these guys are annoying being that they can cause fear to your Party which can be a problem! Win the battle to gain the 2nd Star, the Orange Star...

TOAD - HEY! WE DID IT!!!

LUIGI - Oh...I need to change my pants!!!

TOAD - Ha ha ha ha! It's okay Luigi! I think we're in the clear now!

LUIGI - Well, I guess we should head to speak with the Chancellor, check in, especially since we've found you Toad! That's something the Chancellor wanted us to do during our quest!

TOAD - Yeah...wait! We need to check out Bowser's Airship that crashed! Seriously! The Princess could still be on there and if we leave now, she could be hurt or something!

LUIGI - Hmmm...Mario, what do you think?!

SCENE - Mario does his famous jump...

LUIGI - I guess it's settled then, lets explore the area where the ship fell and see what we can find!

SCENE - The door ahead will leave to an exit thingi, where you can immediately, leave the level. On the map there will be a small ship on the ground next to the mountains. Visit this will be your next area, Bowser's Airship!

___________________________________________________________________________________

BOWSER'S AIRSHIP

_________________________________________________________________________________________

This level isn't very long at all...this airship was only for Bowser to visit places with, nothing for battles or anything like that. The airship itself will only have a few enemies inside the Para Goomba, who is a new enemy to the game, basically a SMRPG Goomba who can fly, duh! Then there is the Para Troopa who is the new name for the SMRPG Sky Troopa, yeah, he doesn't appear until now, LOL! Both enemies should be a little tough, of course. The boss here will be the Boomerang Bros! Basically a green Hammer Bros that uses Boomerangs instead of hammers. The two of these guys will be hard to beat, but you'll learn some valuable information from them before the battle!

SCENE - As you enter the damaged airship...

TOAD - Wow, this doesn't look as bad as I pictured it...I figured this would be rigged with Bob-ombs, Bullet Bills, and everything!

LUIGI - Looks more like a transport ship to me.

TOAD - Well, lets look around and see what we can find!

SCENE - Explore the ship for items left over and fight enemies. The goal here is to reach the Captain's Deck at the top of the airship, inside you'll find two, very angry, Boomerang Bros!

BOOMERANG BRO - ............you must be the ones responsible for bringing down my beautiful ship!!!

LUIGI - Where's Bowser and the Princess?!?!?!

BOOMERANG BRO - Who cares!!! Bowser's real ship picked him up and most everyone else! What's it to ya!

TOAD - Look here helmet brain! We came for the Princess and if you don't tell...

BOOMERANG BRO - You've gotta big mouth you shroom, let us adjust it!

SCENE - Fight the two Boomerang Bros in battle, not much difference from the Hammer Bros battle a while back just slightly different and harder of course. Win the battle for the usual and maybe a special item...
LUIGI - Well...I guess that's all we're gonna get, huh?

TOAD - Hmm...the way he talked, maybe Peach was able to get away or something...I dunno...

LUIGI - Maybe it's time we head home for a break and speak with the Chancellor! You never know, he may have found out some information for us!

TOAD - Yeah, lets go......

SCENE - Leave the airship by the same way you came in, it shouldn't be too hard, especially if you had already fought all the baddies that was here the first time through, it will be empty. Leave the area to the map and then head back to Mushroom Kingdom Town.
