zachary@zachary-linux:~$ "SCREENSHOTS:

Co-Creator: Uncle Dumbass
Dead-Man Mario World is a ROM hack that's between the lines of Vanilla and Custom. Currently, we are looking for play testers, so here is the download for it. Hope you enjoy!

CHANGELOG:
dev 0.2.1:
Fixed minor bugs.
Fixed a major bug where the Cheap Switch Palace's completion before the 10 house of trials would make Luigi's path impossible to finish.
Made minor level/palette edits based on Erik557, Berkay, cheeyev, and The Average Aaron's suggestions.
The Bonus Game plays music now
Airships tweaked for big Mario/Luigi.
Replaced P-Balloon with a P-Balloon block in Fire Hill's secret area.
Jarate Palace changed to be less of a blatant edit.
Forest Hills changed to be less of a SMB1 1-1 remake.
Other fixes.

Story [Updated 11-Jul-2015, Written by Uncle Dumbass] One day, Mario was sitting on his couch watching the Discovery channel when Luigi called him saying, "MARIO!! Help me! I went to see Yoshi at his house when some short, fat bozo with an Orange Mustache, a propeller hat, and overalls came in his 1976 Dodge Pioneer RV and STOLE YOSHI'S HOUSE!! He then kidnapped Yoshi and his buddies, along with the princess! I escaped to Bison Island where Yoshi had setup another house and now I stuck here with that WEIRDO! Help us, Mario, you're our only hope!"

With that, Mario made his way to Weird Island, where Yoshi was kidnapped. All he finds is an empty Yoshi House with no one is sight. Mario now will make his way to the River Castle to see if he can find anyone. Can you help Mario on his adventure to find his Brother, Yoshi and his buddies, Princess Toadstool and defeat the crazy master mind? Or will he fail and go home to take a nap? It's up to you!

Features [so far]:
Super Leaf
Exclusive Luigi Levels
Faster Overworld, even faster with Yoshi.
Overworld Arrows
Many Different Levels
[Sort of] Seperate Stories at the beginning for Mario and Luigi
Custom Music
[Some] Custom Graphics
HDMA
Much More"

I find it kind of odd that you didn't put the screenshots here, but whatever. Also, it sounds kind of bland from here. I mean, what's the plot and stuff? Try also looking in this thread for tips and such about it. But I'll try it out.
I have a DeviantArt, if you do want to see my art on there. I don't really visit it much now, though.

This lava palette is weird.

Screenshots look nice, but, as cheeyev said, put them here. Also, try to be more descriptive.
Your hack looks decent so far, but mainly vanilla hacks rarely look revolutionary. Screenshots 5 and 14 are pointless to show, because 5 is basically 4 and all that 14 has is Luigi and a pipe. Also, were you going for an autumn look for screenshots 3 through 5? If so, they look weird with the red grass. Maybe try using a brownish-reddish color instead. Otherwise, not bad.

5 was not meant to be uploaded, and 14 shows the Super Leaf. 3-5 is not autumn, but instead something else."

Does it happen to be Dead-Man's Land. Haha! #tb{:DD}

Oh, I forgot to mention: darker colors (in your gradients) should be less saturated and lighter colors (again, in your gradients) should be more saturated.
Got through the first two levels, here are my thoughts on them.
Nice riff on the title screen. WeegeeBen is right, Nintendo doesn't present these hacks.
"Uncle Dumbass"?
MarioSuicide.smc? Just kidding, nice intro screen, though.
Uh, okay then..
Well, this is interesting. The World Bowser Music surprised me.
FLASH! AHHHHH, SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE!
BB?
Although not pictured, Mario moves much faster in the Overworld now, which also surprised me.
Oh, so this is a Uncle Grandpa SMW crossover? Would have been nice to tell that in the post.
Although not bad or anything, you can take the bottom route if you don't jump to the upper platform.
See previous reply. Also, there's no actual fire that hurts you in this stage, just some free fire flowers.
If you miss this P balloon, you die. It would be helpful to include this block in replacement.
Urine switch palace? You may want to change that..
ORIGINAL THE SWITCH PALACE DONUT STEEL
Oh great, this is going to turn into another Kaizo hack, isn't it? Also, caps and three exclamation points.
Slight cutoff.
The red star block changes into a question mark block for like a second due to it being a sprite and such.
I was correct about the kaizo bit, but at least you can go down back to the ground. So it's a neat variation of it.
I got stuck here. You can't jump high enough to get out of the "pit", so using the trampoline is the only option, but then there's a section where you need a trampoline to continue, making this level impossible. Also, if the silver P-Switch runs out of time while you try to get there, you're pretty much forced to lose a life, so I recommend adding some sort of reset door or maybe using
this.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, although you're wrong about that last bit. Although, thanks for reminding me to move that platform up. And I will make sure use the reusable switch actually. And yes, you are supposed to be able to take the bottom route."

No problem, and okay then. I'll play through the rest of it and give out my thoughts soon, and yeah, I know.
EDIT: Played through the rest of the levels. Here I go again:
These platforms fall, endlessly.
I like the fact you put a pipe as if he was about to go to the next level via a pipe (And he does).
Welcome to purple shy guy valley!
You're forced to sacrifice yoshi or leave him to progress. It doesn't help you get your first yoshi here.
You have to drag a key to the end of the level to get the secret exit, meaning you have to effectively play this level two times to get both exits. Maybe you should have put it somewhere else?
What happened to the hill?
Unedited level!
!!!
If you teleport here, can't move anywhere unless you teleport back again.
Yet again, another unedited level.
See above.
Interesting land scupture.
Like before, if you miss that P-Balloon, you're dead.
More interesting land scuptures.
This is just kaizo.
Iggy. Self explanitory.
"Mario has found an almost unedited message and desided to keep peach captured and just find his brother."
ORIGINAL THE SMB1 STAGE DONUT REMAEK
How is one supposed to get up there?
I start behind the purple coins, and.. No music? Huh, this is just creepy..
Bowser's airships aren't big mario friendly.
Did Bowser leak his coin stash into this section of the level or something?
Here are those ropes in the screenshots. They're pretty odd and sometimes irritating to get onto.
Here, the beach just.. Melts. The angry sun must be powerful if it melted a section of sand in this beach.
What's better than a ghost house? Two ghost houses!
Some noticible cutoffness if you break that block.
And there goes the HDMA.
This is the only upside-down question mark box in the game (That I know of) that isn't a trap which hurts Mario/Luigi.
When the lightning flashes and you read a message box, this happens.
It's the great fire flower silhouette, Mario! (A.K.A: Put a hole in the BG there so that doesn't happen.)
Gee, I don't know where to go! Maybe those coins in the shape of a door will help me! (And if the P-Switch runs out, you have to do this section again.)
Now it's underwater? This is a serious mind screw. Then again, it is a ghost house.. A Double one at that. Also, Layer 2 doesn't wave.
See above.
I hope you like rising lava!
Spin jumping on those blocks gives you a glitched up shatter sprite, as well as making it much harder to go up.
Like before. And I hope you know you can go through those orange pipes!
Now I'm reminded of the sinking tower in Astro Man's stage.
If you got the leaf or know what to do when jumping on those flying koopas, you can get a 3up Moon.
And there goes Morton!
This is Koopa Fortress. It has a unique gimmick in that you have to kill all the koopas in each screen in order to progress into the next one.
See above with the pipe.
And that's the demo, and no problem.
I have a DeviantArt, if you do want to see my art on there. I don't really visit it much now, though.


zachary@zachary-linux:~$ "New update! See changelog for info."

So, I took a quick look and I dislike this level. Why? Because it's not clear what you can pass through and what you can't.
GOOD MORNING!! I'm Uncle Dumbass, but you can call me Polara. I along with Gamed9x are the creators of DMW, without him this project wouldn't exist, so I have to thank him (as I do in my Credits if he added in the post.) anyways this hack is in development so if you find bugs or anything that is wrong with the hack please point them out. If and when you do me and Gamed will look at it and consider if we should correct it or what we should do. For those who don't know, this IS my first hack so go a little easy on me ok ;-;. Anyway here's plot.

One day Mario was sitting on his couch watching the Discovery channel when Luigi call saying "MARIO!! Help me! I went to see Yoshi at his house when some booze with an Orange Mustache, a propeller hat, short, fat and overall came in his 1976 Dodge Pioneer RV and STOLE YOSHI'S HOUSE!! He then had kidnapped Yoshi and his buddies, along with the princess! I escaped to Bison Island where Yoshi had setup another house and now I stuck here with that WEIRDO! help me Mario your our only hope!"

With that Mario made his way to now Weird Island where Yoshi was kidnapped only to find an empty Yoshi House with no one is sight. Mario now will make his way to Iggy's River Castle to find anyone. Can you help Mario on his adventure to find his Brother, Yoshi and his buddies, Princess Toadstool and defeat the crazy master mind? Or will he fail and go home to take a nap? It's up to you!

Updated thread to reflect a proofread version of the story.

Understood, I will correct that.
EDIT:
Corrected, better?
"

That is much better. The plot is weird, so it fits with Weird Island.
I don't think it's better. Maybe it'll look better if you remove the outlines and make it look flat.

Well, that's a strange username, but okay. And for a first hack, it's actually pretty good!

Also, gamed9x, did you read my edited second post?
