The Dimensional Rift - A Collaboration (see latest post)

Standard

Yup.

Plot: Mario, Luigi and the Princess were walking around chatting when Bowser's airship fleet appeared in the sky. A beam shot out into the clouds from the head airship, ripping open the fabric of reality itself. Bowser went in, laughing evilly. Mario was going to let it fly, thinking it would do no harm until the princess told him that it was a heavily populated dimension without a military force, and the only way to access it is to rip a hole in space and time. She leaves to find Doctor Flab R. Ghast to borrow his Reality Distortion Ray while the Mario Bros. set off to find each of the Koopalings and interrogate them for information. And so it begins...

Ready...GO!
hehe wow
title is extremely original

*cough* Anyways, will this hack be chocolate or vanilla or choconilla?
I will join this no matter what but since I'm slower than a goomba (+ already working on another hack.), it proably will take me a long time xc

if it will be chocolate, will its graphics be cartoon-ish or realistic?
Actually, I'm just going to have this be a very diverse hack. If you want to make a choco, choconilla or vanilla level it's fine with me.

Speaking of which, I forgot to put a list of claimed ExGFX.
New thread for my level in those forums: click
triple post

New threads relating on two important miscellaneous things I want done in the early development stages so that people don't have to deal with it later. What do you guys think of the Title Screen I whipped up?
Mario's standing position on the title screen looks odd, but maybe it's just me? There seems to be a wrong tile on Bowser's clown car, in the space in between his hands. It's pretty nice overall, but it looks a bit cluttered too. I think you should darken all of layer 1 and 2, so the layer 3 text stands out more.
Added Hailcrash, who PMed me a week or so ago.
Am I late for the signups? I enjoy building hard (but not Kaizo) castle levels.
I really need a layout. :<
I never said that signups were over. Until all the levels are claimed in a world, anyone can sign up for a level.

Oh, and added.

You sure? The OP still says that 1-Castle is unclaimed...

Fixed. Don't forget to let me know how your progress is doing.

EDIT: Added Nintendo Presents screen to the things you can claim.

EDIT 2: Added Overworld to the things you can claim.

On a scale on 1 to 10, 3 being SMB1 difficulty and 8 being SMB:TLL difficulty, where do you want the first castle to be? More importantly, what feature do you want to see used in this level? I was thinking nets (like with SMW's own 1-Castle), but it's up to you.

Maybe 4, and the gimmick is whatever you want it to be. Freedom is key here as long as it doesn't take up too much space in the base ROM.

OK. I was just wondering if there was a specific gimmick you wanted in this level, but I guess not.
And if I may put in a custom music request, I think the NSMB Castle theme (pretty sure there's a port of it floating about somewhere) would work very well for castle levels.

EDIT: I didn't notice the IPS when I started on my level, so I'll upload the MWL file so it can be added in. I'm using levels 150 and 151 for it, but Ctrl-I in LM can fix that.

PS: Sorry for the late reply. #smw{^_^;}

There's actually a song I plan on using for my level too. It's Final Hours from Majora's Mask. When I first came up with the idea of remaking my first level for my own project, I thought this song would work well there, and I still think that now.

Since I'm working on this level for your project, I'm going to be putting in a ton of effort into the level design, and I'll worry about inserting music and graphics later.


Vanilla Twist!
1-Castle's done.
*links removed for anti-theft*
I really need a layout. :<
Good thing one person is done...

I've made a few small (mostly aesthetic) edits to your level. I hope you don't mind me adding/removing a few enemies and a ceiling to your level.

To everyone who plans to join: Any and all edits I make to your levels will be for the better. They will be small and barely noticeable.

That's alright. I hope you didn't move the first Dragon Coin lower than it was; it's possible to get that one, even with Small Mario.

I didn't, but the new ceiling makes it slightly harder to get.

Since we all have played the vanilla bosses to death, I think we should use custom bosses. Nothing too fancy, just something to avoid anti-climactic bosses. I'm going to search the sprites section for an easy to implement koopaling boss, and if I can't find anything that interests me, I'll keep the World 1 boss slot claimable.

EDIT: Perhaps we can use this sprite and have someone draw custom graphics?

That's definitely a possibility. Also, in case you didn't notice, I pointed the boss door to Iggy's room.
