Mario Chat / Mario Fan Game, because everyone else is :(

« on: August 17, 2005, 12:06:26 AM »

Actually, no, this started after i learned about CashCrazed's UMB but before I heard about anyone elses. It is highly inspired by CC's UMB, actually. It is more-or-less a (you knew it) Mario Bros. clone. It also, much like CC's UMB, has an Adventure mode, but it is set up differently.

The game is completely based around the story mode (but you can unlock Arcarde and "Super" Arcade later), which is split into 5 chapters (two hidden). Heres the story:

One day in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario got sick of saving Princess Peach and everyone else by himself (with the occasional help of Luigi). Bowser was marching his army directly towards Peach's castle, and had requested to see Mario. Mario left the Mushroom Kingdom and went back to the normal world. Soon after getting there, he fell asleep. When he woke up, he was under the impression that he had been on drugs the whole time. A voice cried his name. It was Luigi. Mario turned to see a fat man with an owl head, and his assistant, a guy in purple with a Bullet Bill for a head, holding Luigi hostage. Now Mario is chasing them trying to get Luigi back...

CHAPTERS:

PROLOUGE: The End of Mario
Luigi is kidnapped by Arch0wl and BulletBill, and you kill Arch0wl. BulletBill gets away.
PHASES: 1 (0)
BOSSES: 1 (Arch0wl)
AREAS: 2 (Sewer Matainance, Old Subway Station (Boss Fight)

CHAPTER 1: Pursuit
Mario and Luigi are hot on the trail of BB, but he has plenty of suprizes for them...
PHASES: 15 (1-15)
BOSSES: 2 (BulletBill, BulletBill)
AREAS: 4 (Jungle, Abandoned Building, Elevator Shaft (wheefun!), Rooftop (bossfight)

CHAPTER 2: Siege
Mario finds BB's fortress, and is convinced that someone else is behind all of this...
PHASES: 15 (16-30)
BOSSES: 2 (?????, BulletBill (final))

CHAPTER 3: The Death of a Hero
The true villain is revealed... and Mario takes him to the bar and buys him a cold one.
PHASES: 15 (31-45)
BOSSES: 2 (?????, The Ying Yang Twins)

CHAPTER 4: Rebelion
A small group of rebels with Kalashnikovs rebel against the Mushroom Kingdom... and the leader is the last person Mario would expect.
PHASES: 15 (46-60)
BOSSES: 2 (Mecha Mario, Arch0wl + Clones (final))

CHAPTER 5: The Aftermath
Mario plans on taking a nice break after all of his hard work, but he is given the task of cleaning up the remains of his foes.
PHASES: 15 (61-75)
BOSSES: 1 (MechaMario (final))

If I ever post a link to this game, be warned that IT CONTAINS PROFANITY. Yes. And not just because the unedited Salt Shaker makes an appearance.

Anyway... progress is about 10%. The game is still freshly coated in bugs, and I had to remove pixel-precise collision because Mario could hang from his nose on the platforms. Most of the music is taken from various games, as is the graphics (I did the blocks myself though!). I can't think of any more to say... I need to go add some more to Chapter 1...

Mario Chat / Your favorite Super Mario level(s)

« on: July 06, 2005, 01:31:52 AM »

This topic is pretty self-explanitory. Post your favorite Super Mario Bros (any of them) level(s), and a reason why.

In Super Mario Bros. 1, I love World 4-1. It is fun to try to run non-stop in that level (on my NES I did manage to do a start-to-finish run without stopping, but on the emulator the pirahna plants always get me XD).

In Super Mario Bros 3, I think the Tanks in World 8 are a blast. Literally.

In Super Mario World, I would always go mess around in the fourth Bowser's Dome place (the one with the lava and the Chargin' Chucks), because it is fun to dodge them and watch them die in the lava. Other places I like are Star World 4 and the Special World area shown on the Title Screen, just because.

in Super Mario 64, my favorite area is the Lava area in the basement, because it is fun to knock people in the lava (wheefun!).

Mario Chat / Another Stupid Question: SMB Utility

« on: June 20, 2005, 10:24:07 PM »

Well, I've been messing around with SMB Utility, and have even started a hack. Two things have been bothering me: 1) I know how to add more Worlds, but how do you add levels? For Example, I have 9 Worlds, but I do not know how to create the levels for it, so the Warp to world 9-1 gives me a blank screen. 2) After messing around in the menus, I found out what the
"Minus World Warp Zone" actually is. It is actually the Second Warp zone, note how the middle pipe leads to World 5. So, anyway, I was testing my game in FCE Ultra, when I got to the end of 1-2 (for some reason the 2 appears as a symbol, same as 1-3), so I did the Minus World glitch. The Minus World was now a really messed up Coin Heaven. Where is the data that the Minus World is pulled from, and how would editing the first level effect it? Thanks in advance.

Mario Chat / Super Mario Bros 3 Patch Menu Music

« on: June 19, 2005, 09:46:46 AM »

I was messing around with the Super Mario Bros III patch by MegaByte, the one that lets you view the 15 areas that the programmers forgot to remove from the game, and I was wondering what the music in the map screen was from. Could anyone tell me what part of the game that music was from? Thanks.
