As I've been working on Journey to the Mushroom Kingdom, I started a side-project, which was a bit less fancy, not much custom GFX and whatnot. I eventually turned it into a full fledged project. So as I'm fixing up bugs and stuff in JTTMK in preparation of its release, I thought I might post stuff about this little side project, so here I go.
Gimmick Mario is a hack where in each level there's a random gimmick (like a random puzzle, or a sprite that takes away your coins and you die, etc). Your goal is to work to beat the level despite the gimmick holding your skills back. In other words, you must use the gimmicks to your advantage. There is no story, just beat all the levels! I'm getting pretty sick of the whole Peach is kidnapped thing.
Yeah yeah, if you saw the trailer for JTTMK, I know I did it in that hack, but... uh... fine, you got me.
The overworld in all of its incomplete glory!
I'm planning to have 30+ levels.
I just didn't snapshot the rest of the OW because it's unfinished and looks horrible.
This is the overworld so far.
This is the OW with the events complete, at least for now since I didn't do the events for the other levels yet.
