[REMOVED] Super mario the best of the years ! - mamlazizou

Review:
The hack submission page is a total lie. All the hack is based on one level, which is also pretty short and not well done. Palettes weren't really pleasing, design overall didn't have anything interesting. But it had an odd distribution of munchers which made the level kinda hard, bullet bills that got me hurt unfairly on the net climbing area and an unnecessary distribution of 3-UP moons, which have no purpose because the level isn't even beatable! Sorry, I don't think this hack has potential.

Verdict:
It'll possibly get rejected, I'm sorry but I can't see a short not well done hack like this one being accepted.

I have to agree that this hack needs a lot of work. The level design is pretty flat, but is still bad; the climbing area is not pleasant at all due to the silent bullet bills. The water can be pretty confusing as well, because at times it acts solid while in others it's not, as well as some of the moons acting like lava. And lastly, the level is not beatable at all.

I suggest starting over, as well as design your levels in a way that most people can enjoy (I say reject this hack for now), hide well your bonuses and don't make tiles act like they are not supposed to.

EDIT: tweaked some things.

OK, I played through this hack. As Mirann says, the hack page is completely false. There are NOT 87 exits. In fact there are NO exits whatsoever.


Upon starting the hack, I'm greeted with a title screen containing bad palettes that says "IDIOT".


Unreadable menu due to overwriting palette. The menu also causes the word "IDIOT" to disappear.


Square and bland overworld.


Mario seems to be walking on water. Also, very easy to get 3UP Moon.


Mario is suddenly swimming.


Silent Bullet Bills. I would suggest inserting the No Silent Bullet Bill patch.


This moon acts like lava meaning you swim in it and die when you touch the top of the tile.


Bad cement block palette.


Tile above Mario's head is solid.


FOUR very easy to get 3UP Moons. The fifth one is fake.


This land killed me.


These bushes act like lava.


Another bit of fake land.


Another fake 3UP Moon.


Level ends here with no way to exit except to die.

VERDICT

I would say that the above screenshots warrants this hack for removal. The submission page is also a lie.

+1
This hack is definitely not ready for submission and I will explain why.


The hack starts off with an unedited title screen but with a twist! The palettes have all been darkened and it does not really look good at all. The palette also does not seem to be smooth in many areas especially the with the background. Moving on, as you can see, the overworld does seem to quite simple in terms of design. Not bad but the palette does not seem very pleasing to me and the actual design can be improved by add decorations and making the island less squarish. Another problem is that there is only one level and this does not make for a long enjoyable hack that many people would want to play.


Entering the level, I am greeted with custom graphics that do not look bad at all but the background palette once again does not seem to be pleasing. Also the fact that there are 3-UP moons that are easy to get is disturbing when playing a game as it can cheapen challenge and difficulty when it comes to challenges.


There are also several problems with the way the tiles act as shown above. In the first screenshot, you can see I am standing on the water but what the player is not aware of is that Mario can fall into the water when he is not walking or running. This is quite inconvenient to the player, I would suggest a info box explaining this concept and how the water acts. Even worse, there are tiles that do not act as they should as shown by the screenshots above. 3-UP moons and normal ground killing you? This seems like that "curiosity killed the cat" gimmick and I have to say this is NOT a good gimmick at all. I am sorry but please scrap it.


When reaching the end, I am greeted with a info box saying something that some people may not understand. Besides, there is no obvious way of ending the level so I stopped here considering all the other issues.

I would say reject the hack and I am also wondering why the creator uploaded different screenshots. This is clearly misleading so I suspect there is a lot of work to do here.

Edit: mockingod's translation cleared everything up. I am wondering what kind of people would waste time by doing this.

I can't even tell what exactly this is. It couldn't really be a first try type of hack, because the act like settings were changed and it has ExGFX. When I started out I had no idea what those things even where. Maybe the message boxes would help me out with understanding it, but sadly I don't speak french, so that won't work.

Also the level design is only trial and error. First there's a way too easy to get 3UP moon, but the next one you see kills you instead of giving you lives. Same for the ground. One time it's ground and then it kills you. The water also acts like cement blocks sometimes, which is really annoying and hard to wrap your head around.

The gameplay here just isn't really fun at all. It's not like it's hard, it's just hard to tell what everything acts like, which isn't the right way to go.

I'm voting for rejection, as it doesn't have gameplay that is anything besides annoying and the visuals aren't really all that good, either. The colors for the clouds are set up the wrong way and the sky color doesn't fit the rest of the scenery.

EDIT: Triple ninja'd

The ending message, "et voila ta perdu ton temps a jouer a ce jeu haha! Tu est fort ton cuit et au moins de 1! Bin aller je te souhaite tout le malheur de monde!" put into a quick Google Translate gives me something along the lines of "And voila, you have wasted your time playing this game! I wish you the misery of the world!"

I don't know French at all, so Google Translate gave a rough translation. This was obviously a joke hack.
This one is abviously to be rejected.
I don't think I need to privde screenshots, as everything that can be seen, has already been provided as a screenshot.

In general, this hack isn't worth playing. It doesn't even take 5 minutes to beat this one unfair level, which has unpredictable deaths waiting for you at every corner.
The old "turning a 3-up moon into a deathtrap" thing isn't even the worst. The worst is, that that completly random invisible object kill you.
This one doesnt even pass as a Kaizo hack. Sorry for the harsh words mister creator, but you have lot's to improve on your hacking.

The titlescreen aside, I don't actually mind the palletes that much :x

Some creators just want upload spammy hacks. They get rejected anyway.
It's not the only hack but also Super Mario Regular World[demo] have different pics then the hack itself. I've also PM'ed a hack moderator (Hadron to be clear because he's the first hack mod I've seen). Yes, some of them just want to do it. Like the five other above me, this hack of this thread should be rejected.
Basically what the above posters said. In addition, the level name translates to "Level for IDIOT(S)".

The intro message roughly translates to: "Welcome to the worst of the hacks you should've never taken this hack well suffer well forever! Don't take into account the insult!"

The first message box in the level translates to: "Bad day idiot! The water is solid or liquid you need a positive cooked [sic] to know but idiots like you don't know!"

The message box at the end of the level translates to: "here you go youlost your time playing this game haha! You is strong your cooked [re-sic] and at least 1! Wel, alright, I wish you the worst in the world!"

By the way, even the filename of the IPS patch is not advertising what it actually is. It translates to "Best hack in the world!".

For the record, "cooked" in French means "cuit". "cuit" is pronounced like QI (quotient intellectuel), which is the French acronym for IQ (intellectual quotient).

By the way, you can't finish the level proper.

Therefore, the hack should be rejected. The hack basically insults the player.

NOTE: The translations have mistakes on purpose, since I translated the content of the messages, which was full of rather terrible French (e.g. poor spelling, grammar mistakes).

First things first, the title literally translates to "Super Mario the Nightmare Idiot" (or alternatively, "Super Mario the Idiotic Nightmare"). That's about all I'm going to translate, since most of the text is chock-full of slang and barely understandable, even to a fluent French-speaker.

Secondly, what is Mario supposed to be walking on? Did Godzilla take a massive dino-dump all across Dinosaur Land? Is that why Mario is in what appears to be some kind of hell? And what is that number at the bottom supposed to be? A foreign phone number that we can call to complain about the hack? Is it supposed to be a cheat code that reveals the rest of the hack? (Hint: It's not.)



As stated previously, the menu is impossible to see against the background. It also covers up part of the title, but maybe that's a good thing. I don't need to have the word "IDIOT" staring at me all day.



Like I said already, I won't translate it literally, but it basically says "Welcome in the worst of hacks, you should never have taken this good hack, suffer forever! Don't pay attention to the insult!" Yeah, makes a lot of sense, and hypocritical at that.



The level title says "Level for (insert derogatory term here)", which is insulting but it was already stated not to pay attention to that, so disregard that for now. It only gets worse.

The overworld itself is flat and boring, but really not too bad, and if it is indeed supposed to represent a hell of some sort, it's kind of what you'd expect. Probably the best aspect of the entire hack.

(it is at this point during writing that fsvgm777 makes his post.)



Right away starting off the level, the palette of the tree trunks is messed up. Why is one muncher flipped but the other not? Other than that, it doesn't look too horrible, although I can't imagine there being a blue sky in hell. The ground tiles here actually look rather nice, to be honest.



Since the water surface tile isn't a full tile, it gives the impression that Mario is walking on air. I'm fine with the gimmick itself, but the execution just doesn't work. And why are ON/OFF blocks used? If the sole purpose is to avoid cutoff, there's always the option of ExGFX, which the author is clearly familiar with.



Unless an explanation is given beforehand, there should be no reason for a 3-up moon to kill the player. Even worse, the first moon in the level is real, so in the end it's just a mean trick. And if you're going to make it deadly, why use lava? Why not just use Munchers? It's not like there are any powerups or anything anyway.



It's tolerable with the water, where you either swim or stand, but the indistinguishable difference between life and death here is completely illogical and unnecessary. Trial and error should not be required to beat a level like this, and punishing the player by killing them and making them play through the entire stage (without a midpoint, by the way) all over again is terrible design. And there are multiple instances of this.



Really? Invisible lava? That's even worse. What's more, you only have two safe tiles to make that jump, which isn't easy when everything kills you in one hit.

---

The last bit is essentially just another death moon and a dead end with another insulting message.

If this isn't a joke hack, then the creator must be one sick "connard". There should be no reason to accept this whatsoever.

I won't worry about it, and also celebrating 1,000 subs on youtube :D and trying to beat nightmare mode on FNAF3 and 20 mode on FNAF 1 and 2
The title screen palettes were a bit off, and I couldn't really see what I was doing. You should fix this. Moving on, the overworld colors are fine but it's a bit flat and boring, add some variety.

You seem to be having a lot of problems with palettes and cruel and nonintuitive traps, which I really think you should get rid of because they screw the player over. The moons that hurt you are not only unfair, but the free 3-up moons are excessive rewards for your poor choice for punishing the player. Another tip, the water gimmick doesn't really work out, so if you're gonna have ON/OFF water tiles, actually do something with them because I was left wondering what was supposed to happen.

Anyway, your level design needs some work and you need to learn how to make effective palettes and overworlds. Keep up the work and try to make your next (hopefully not a joke) hack better. Best of luck to you.
