1.I noticed in some of the earlier screenshots from this thread seems to have Mario looking like the Super Mario Bros. 2 Version of Mario and I would like to know how I can I get my hands on a SMB2 styled Luigi(This question my sound too off topic but It doesn't hurt to ask, right?)
The graphics that Mario takes on has been quite a subject for this hack. For now, though, I'm just going to reuse the original SMW Mario instead of making the problem even more complex.
Getting the proper Luigi sprites is just a matter of opening a SMAS ROM in YY-CHR and searching for the specified graphics. I don't want to get to much in detail with the steps, but I want to just give a general start location for you. It's better if you learn on your own.
However, I would suggest this set as the easiest solution. I believe that the frames were styled after the Super Mario Bros. 2 Luigi.

Once again, some of those videos are older than others. This hack has changed over time, and I've decided to use custom music alongside Smkdan's sample utility tool.
*EDIT* I'm going to freeze this hack until I get it all working properly again. Just to avoid further questions.
I thought that I'd just show something epic I did today.
*EDIT* If this sounded too good to be true, you're right. Mac just can't get along with SMW hacking. Let me list the details:
*Level doesn't show up. 50+ Frustration
Now that level design is out of the question, more things are wrong.
*It's whiny about emulators. 10+ Annoyance
*YY-CHR hates the palettes I offer. Ends up in garbled mess. 40+ Irritation
*YY-CHR lags like hell. 30+ OMGHATE >
It turns out that the only optional thing to do is to edit palettes. Whee.
New updated custom title screen of doom. For those who are wondering, I will be using the custom title screen thing in my hack. And what else to give credit to than this wonderful site?
This is the big version, which is the normal size of most emulators. I added the "and community" for some reason. Probably to gain more members or something.
This is the same exact one, only smaller. This is the usual size for screenshots I guess. I just realized how small that text is. I might have to change it.
Images may be output at 256 or 512 pixels horizontal resolution and 224, 239, 448, or 478 pixels vertically
Super Mario World uses a resolution of 256x224. Oops?
Also, there's no way you can fit all those colors/graphics... I don't believe...Aww, I can't have fun...
For people who don't know, I turned 14 today. Yay.
Update: More Story (Spoilers)
Yes spoilers. Don't read if you want to save the experience for the hack itself:
The whole hack takes place in an imaginary universe where separate dimensions drift through empty space enclosed in bubbles of cosmic energy. These "worlds" rarely have contact with each other, but when the time comes from time to time, it's almost severe to both of the dimensions. Each one is so diverse, that barely any have any similarity, which is why they cause so many problems when they collide. This time, two of these worlds contact without warning, causing trouble without any of them knowing. That is how the king in the earlier part of the story got possessed and destroyed the kingdom.
After the calamity, the people had to rebuild and try to get back to normal living again. They created the Rising Hearts: a royal group of shamans who planned to heal the world and regain life once again. Unfortunately, They realized that the king's mysterious possession wasn't the only problem, but other bizarre things were happening to their kingdom as well. They spotted strange new creatures wandering about that they later dubbed "Rogues". They were completely dumbfounded until one of the shamans spoke of a prophecy in which "Two heros shall travel though cosmic doors to reach thy resting prize.". Knowing what had to be done. They called forth their greatest power and created a pathway from the Mushroom Kingdom into their own dimension. Thus the Mario Brothers were called forth into a strange new world with many secrets to be unfolded.
Loooooong story, eh? Also, I'm making a name for the hack. I guess it will have something to do with the dimensions in space or something.

If you keep up spammy posts like that, I plan on stoling your ability to post.
As for the new title screen: nice stuff. I'm assuming you used the image inserter program thingy to get that working, right? It looks very clean and well done.

YES YES I CONFESS.
Mario and Sonic will always be rivals. Oh, and thanks SNN.
This is the first dialog you get in the beginning of the game. Names are (most likely) not the final choices. ENJOY. (Note: MARIO IS NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER, NEITHER ANYTHING FROM THE MARIO UNIVERSE PERIOD)

Well well... I've been expecting you.
You're our hero, aren't you? I'm afraid this isn't the same old castle and dragon problem we have...
You see, we have been settling here quite peacefully until disaster struck our world.
My apprentice, Jonathan, would be delighted to give you some more insight...
Thank you, master. This way.
This aged book page is all left of the event that raged nearly nine centuries ago. Our top archeologists have decoded half of it, which speaks of some sort of prophecy.
They stayed up entire days trying to make sense of the writings. Until one groggy morning.
It was at that point we discovered you.
Apparently, you are one of the ancients who experienced that same event. You see, we were just about to tap into an ancient art called The *blank*.
It was a powerful magic that was supposedly used by the king to destroy the old kingdom. We gathered a group of shamans who dedicated their life to bring it back to this corrupt world.
Then, we were able to call forth you from the past. But, it wasn't perfect. You have lost your memory in the process of accelerating through the fourth dimension.
I'm terribly sorry. Our skill wasn't great enough to pull off a perfect transfer. Also, you are unable to travel back. You are trapped in our time.
Don't look to glum, now. You will be the one to save our kingdom and bring it back to the golden ages! We will reward you with all of your wishes!
Now, my job is complete. Go and talk to my master, he'll tell you what to do next.
Ah, you're back. Let's get in depth with your mission now.
Your job is to travel to the northern mountains, where a pathway to the heavens can be activated. Once you reach the dead city, search for the shrine that held the scepter.
Our scholars are sure that that is where all of the strange shadows are emerging.
Oh, and one more thing; my daughter, Darlina has been most delighted to travel with you. Even with a few, complications...
Hello, father. Is it time?
Do not be afraid, this is just my daughter. However, she has tampered with the *blank* and somehow altered her own form.
She is now but a "spirit" of some sort. If you absorb her, she can provide help along the way with her vast knowledge without being harmed.
Are you ready?
*shwoosh*
Feeling alright? Ok. Your first destination should be the Starshaft Outpost. Our colleges are awaiting you arrival. Now, begin you adventure. We wish you the best of luck!

Love it? Hate it? Just for lulz? Just comment and I'll be happy.
This hack is out of this world!http://videogamedomain.createaforum.com/index.php

Personally, I don't like what the hack is becoming. It started out as typicial Mario game with a more detailed story. The graphics were Mario-like and nice to see, the fg and bg were Mario-like, too, and had nice details. But now...
The graphics become too detailed, they become kind-off linty like the graphics of Stranded, a hack which I don't like. Your old graphics looked so much better to me, because you wanted to use the old SMW style, just with more detail, but now you are too inspiried from stranded and so your graphics look less unique to me... Redrawn is already overused and your graphics look too much of redrawn too me.
The level design will still be the same which I've seen from your level videos so I am not worried about the level design, which will be full of ideas.
*blasts hack with ice ray*
This hack has been frozen for a LONG time. Too much stress combined with mental issues has forced me to put this hack on a temporary hold. But in the meantime, well... You'll see. ;)
the old graphics were betterhttp://videogamedomain.createaforum.com/index.php

I agree, I really liked the older graphics. They looked great.I like waffles.
I am now requesting a close.
Why?
Because I don't need this thread for the time being.
Huh?
Shut up. It's been frozen and it's obviously going to be for another month or so.
