Constructive Criticism please, and tell me if you liked it or if there is anywhere to improve on?

I got a chance to play it earlier. I got to 2-4 before getting stuck at a seemingly impassible spot where you somehow have to use a life to cross a lava pit while avoiding a long Fire-Bar.

The only faults I noticed: Some of the sprites protrude into the ground, and while this doesn't produce collision problems, it looks kind of ugly. And there are a few level design flaws - it's possible to jump over the ending flagpole in 2-2, sending you to an endless expanse of nothingness. The Piranha Plant hidden by a cloud in 2-3 is kind of nasty, too.

The graphics used in this hack were made by acmlm, and the protruding of sprites in the ground is seen in quite a few graphical mods of SMB.

I will make an adjustment there on World 2-4 VinnyVideo.

As for the Piranha Plants in 2-3, The weird thing about SMB is that the background scenery can actually hide Piranha Plants when coming out of a pipe, the only way to solve this is to MOVE the pipe, which I will do eventually.

And for the springboard that you said can allow players to jump over the flagpole, is seen in World 1-2 of my SMB hack and two underwater levels when exited, lead to halfway mark of the room used in World 1-2. Modifying the springboard you pointed out near the flagpole actually modifies World 1-2's flagpole area by extention. Plus, If I move it 1-block back, the maximum points for the player to score on the flag in World 1-2 is 2000 (right on the sprite of the flag).

Final tuned. Addresses most of the design errors of levels upon furthur testing.



First post has been edited to show the final release.

I gave it a try and got to World 5 before giving up. Seems like it's well-made, although I can't offer much critique since I haven't played many recent hacks, and since I'm not a big fan of games that try to be as difficult as possible.

Also, you might want to fix the help file - there's a lot of typos and grammar issues. Correcting those would improve the overall presentation.

So I noticed some minor nitpicks that I needed to fix, specficially, pipes where I thought it wouldnt warp Mario and well, it did, as well as another minor adjustment in 4-3, as that stage is notable for well, not producing or spawning enemies if more than 5 is presently on screen, mostly due to Lakitu, so it now made it able to be crossed without much of a need to stomp on a parakoopa to pass.



Major, drastic changes to levels will be undertaking in another, more advanced, graphically changed, watered-down difficulty version of my SMB hack.

Okay, so I lowered the difficulty on a ton of stages that would require players to savescum and exploit glitches.

In other words, now playable on a real NES.

Confirmed functional on OHW via Everdrive N8.

This actually isnt bad either. I like what you have done here.
