Cool hack you did there. Maybe reduce the scale of some levels and increase the scale of some levels. Some levels are too big and the others are too small.
I got 4 stars before I actually stopped playing
I don't even give a shit about this website anymore
That's one good and decent hack you made, but there's some things that got screwed up.

1. Fog on dark and misty courses: I get lost everytime and there's no clue giving which spot where you supposed to go.

2. Where's the 3 cap switches? Of all of the levels I went through, there is none.

3. The Bowser fight will never end after throwing Bowser into the bombs, cause there's only 3 of them. He keeps falling off the ring at the last bomb hit depending of the angle or spot. Also, there's a beginner's trap where you spawn right next the Heave-hos before starting the fighting, you die instantly.

Other than that, I beat the game with 10 stars. I don't feel like exploring around to huge, empty and unobvious areas. And one more last tip: reduce the textures at the correct scale, and remove useless faces. They keep getting in the way, and they cause invisible walls and make you stuck through the floor.
SUPER CRASH TIME YEAH!
1 - I wasn't aware of this. Thank you, i'll fix this problem !

2 - For the cap switches, have you searched in Sunset Autumn Woods ? It's near the boss battle.

3 - Same than 1.

it's all way too big and empty... and you didn't use UV mapping.
What is UV mapping ? O_o

this covers the basics of UV mapping. For actually good UV mapping you'll probably need blender.
The download link no longer exists. If the fixes already done, please re-send the hack download link.
SUPER CRASH TIME YEAH!
Link is fixed !
50 coins star for Course 2 may be not available, depending of the emulator you use. (I normally use PJ64)

Hey, I went back high and low at this game and I had almost 44 (not exactly 46 in total and I left Star 5 on course 5.) And I literally attempted to speedrun it.

Anyway, as I progressed through your MK underground model for a mini-hack, on hold at the moment, I was wondering if a complete level revision by me would be okay for you? Like the guys and I said back before, a new redesign would stand out better.

If you're okay with it or not, then I don't mind. I had less side-projects to do with SM64 like Kaze, Brodute or you does... so just asking...

I apologize for bumping the thread too... #w{:>}
SUPER CRASH TIME YEAH!
I always wanted to do a "Luigi and the Forest Ruins Redone", with all the unused levels, some unused ideas and redone level design (but I haven't got the time to do so atm) so I'm completly okay for a level revision ! ^^

(Good luck with speedrunning this, the "Below Mushroom Kingdom" course is pretty hardcore !)

Hurray! Thanks for permiiting me to rework on your hack! The levels are still the same but will get some major design scenery and I already thought of replacing stars which I think they were hard to find and get.

Anyway I got in total 50 stars in the game's final count. 7 unused stars were added by the yellow switch, also it made Luigi completely capless if you save the game. I'll remove that crazy bug, with the switch along. And thanks, I'll try to do the speedrun with the fastest route I got in many attempts! #w{=)}

If you have all the models, let me know so I won't have to start out from scratch.
SUPER CRASH TIME YEAH!
I've sent it via the PM section, you should've received a message from me :)

Anyway, aside of Below Mushroom Kingdom this hack is pretty much made for speedruns, as only 8 stars are required to beat the game, and Course 4 is very small, allowing to collect stars quickly :p

50 stars ? I'm kinda startled, as they are only 47 "normally" :

- 7 from each course (42)
- One after beating Eyerok in switch palace (43)
- Two from MIPS (45)
- One in Peach's Castle (46)
- One in the secret wing stage at Nuro Forest (47)

So I'm pretty curious about these 7 secret stars ! I mean, where they actually come from ?
About the Yellow Switch glitch, I was aware of this, but only in the multiplayer version. It was supposed to be a (sort-of) easter egg, but if it's causing strange glitches, I prefer to remove it.

I'm pretty excited about this reboot though ^^

I got them, thanks! #smw{:peace:} Yeah I know, I think only Course 4 and 6 are the easiest to do fast. However, mastering the last level and Bowser is hard.

I swear the yellow switch doesn't activate anything, it removes Luigi's cap and adds a random amount of stars like 5 (not 7, I was wrong).

The second MIPS doesn't appear either, so I might remove the two rabbits in the remake. The switch palace will be hidden somewhere else instead of Sunset Autumn Woods. Eyerok will be in Desert Grounds for a new star mission.

Peach's Castle Grounds will act as the ending level, because I found it both funny and crazy to recreate the inside castle and getting killed by the scrolled-up waterfall... really? What the #smw{:trollface:}!

I've drawn a map for the new insides of the Nuro Forest/Palace and the Underground Ways. Once they're done in Sketchup, preview coming soon!
SUPER CRASH TIME YEAH!
