I wanted "fire" in there somewhere and Phoenix sounded cool. Then I put a zero just for the heck of it. Therefore: FirePhoenix0. Of course, I had to MISSPELL Phoenix on the Nintendo NSider Forums, becoming FirePheonix0. Oh, that was a true spelling failure...

Oh, and by the way, I lauched a basketball about 40 feet.

---

We launched our tennis ball 56 feet at max.

---

The tennis ball weighs less than 1.4 times less than the basketball so I think he wins.

Although I'd be lucky to launch it 5.

---

Maybe, but it depends on how big his trebuchet was too. If they were both 5" tall, then I guess he does win.

This same friend of mine used to have a 10" tall one that he launchhed pumpkins from into his yard. He has three acres of land to do this in. He also does crazy stuff.

Oh well, a five inch trebuchet that throws a tennis ball 56 feet would be awesome.

Not in SR1 and i haven't played SMW+1. so i guess it would have been SMW+1.

anyway, zshare hates me, could you upload it a different way? maybe geocities?

---

I could try that, but I don't have one yet. I really wish the attachment function was here...

---

well, they're free and it don't take long to register, 'specially if you already have a yahoo name. That's where I upload my files. You don't even need to make a webpage!

---

I can't find anything about uploading files. I checked my account and mail.

If a 5 inch trebuchet could throw a tennis ball 56 feet, how far could a 5 foot tebuchet throw it?

---

Did the math, and it would be hurled 672 feet.

Holy Hell, that would be a deadly ballistic.

Okay, let's take it from the top! A-one, a-two, a-one-two-three-four!

Screens:
1: Okay by me.
2: A bit bland, but okay nonetheless. Perhaps add some ? Blocks or something? Even the original game (and SMB3) had those breakable blocks (Turn Blocks in SMW) in places with nothing in them, so you could break them. Just a though.
3: Nice underwater area. The palette doesn't strike me as underwater, though. Maybe you should make it normal ground, but darker. Heck, you could even make some special GFX for it that makes it look like the farther down you go, the darker the ground gets.
4: Here, the palette seems to be wrong, and.... Why do you have clouds in a forest? Shouldn't the clouds be ABOVE the forest?
5: I'm not exactly liking the red spikes.... I like them better as yellow ones.
6: No comment. It's fine as it is.
7: How'd you get the Bowling Ball to work?
8: Nice shot, but the Piranha Plant is wrong. And don't start it with "The Piranha Stem Fix doesn't work no matter how much I patch it", because you can't see the changes in LM. Just follow its readme, and it'll be fixed. And if you follow the optional step, you get to use both the Classic AND Upside-Down Piranha Plants in ANY level. How's THAT for a bonus effect? Though, it's just another offset you have to change. But trust me, it's worth it, since you get to use both Plants in any level you want, without the need to switch SP4 to 4 using Super GFX Bypass.
9: Where did you get the branch GFX? It seems oddly familiar....
10: This is an okay shot.

Uhh....Work on your levels a bit more.

---

2: To be honest, I never really think of adding much more than I need to complete the level and have the five Yoshi Coins. I'll probably add more things to levels because for one, that level in the shot is quite devoid of blocks.
3: Well, I think the palette at least looks more underwater than the original game palettes did.
4: Eh, they probably would be, but then again who ever heard of walking on clouds in the first place?
5: The red spikes were an idea I had. I thought of bloody spikes but putting red on only part of them didn't work and I ended up making them totally red. Maybe I'll try some ExGFX.
7: The Bowling Ball is sprite A1 (I believe). I inserted it manually and then used the Super GFX Bypass to load the correct GFX file for the bowling ball. Easy.
8: Yeah I know. I'll play around with the patch again. And for the record, it's not that I saw them as wrong in Lunar Magic, It was that they were wrong in the actual game. As for the finding the offset, I need to read some stuff on hex first then I'll attempt it. But, it will change for he final version.
9: The branch GFX was custom made by me, so I'm not sure what you could be relating them to.

Super_Mario_Eternity.zip.

To Kles: That should just be coincidence. Though, it is hard to have anything but blocky levels when the majority are forest/castle/switch palace/ghost house levels. But there are some normal ones and the World 3 I've begun has plenty of hills and stuff.

New England Clam Chowder...in a can.

You eat a lot of canned foods. Canned broccoli and cheese soup, canned stag chili and now canned clam chowder.

Try boxed foods instead.

I've had that idea of levels connecting to previous levels before, but I've never implemented it. I may do that at some point in my game.
As for the P-Switch Blocks, those look pretty interesting to use. I'll bet you can make a lot of good puzzles using them.

---

Yes, especially since I also have the P-Swich Reverse and Silver P-Switch Reverse blocks in the hack, too! But you'd be surprised at what puzzles I have in store. In fact, just the other day, I got the idea to use more of those movement blocks to make more underwater currents. Maybe I'll do that.

---

Just be careful not to use them close to walls or Mario can get stuck and killed in the wall. Unless you want that as part of the challenge.

I played it today and it was pretty good! I'm only missing two Red Coins in Castle Canopy and then I'll have a PERFECT! for World 1. I'm looking forward to the rest of your hack.

Those look excellent! I'm aware the Mario/enhanced original graphics are premade (I forget who made them - was it Googie? Bad memory ftw!), but the personal touched you've made to the other levels look excellent! I'm quite fond of the level design and color scheme as well, nice job.

---

It was Icegoom that did the graphics. (Go bad memory!)

Those screens look very good. I've never seen that Yoshi's Island background used in a SMW hack before. It also looks like you got the coloring of the BG down real well too. Question: What does the Normalizer block do?

____________________

I'm wondering if there's a way that someone could make a block (or something else) that turns off the effects of the Special World. I think it would be awesome to hit the block in a level somewhere and then on the overworld, day has turned to night through the use of the Special Passed palettes.

I saw this before but never tried it. I wonder how i'll do . Well that's two right there. ...Oh well, I tiaRGGH, TRIED to t...

You know what? I suck at this.

I should try to get my mom to do this sometime. Think she'd do pretty poorly compared to some of us.

---

Yes.
Why is it that parents usually use less effort in things than theire kids? It makes no real sense tp me.

---

Possibly because tehy think that their experience will get them through things, so they just dont put in any effort?

Life experience that is... not personal experiances or other silly whatnot...


I shoul get my mom to to do this once. She types like, 100wpm and its crazy fast ;D

---

My mom would never try this. I don't even think she'd sit down a nd use a forum. or board. I don't en even know hat ... how sfast she types. (Oog that wasn;t that good.)
