Hack Idea: Need feedback

So I've been working on this hack for a while, It's coming along pretty good! So, I was thinking about how I should make the overworld, and I came up with a pretty good idea: So, basically, I thought that the worldmap would be separated into 4 islands, (well, 5 considering the first world) and you would get a boat and ride between the levels. Heres what I have gotten done so far:
My idea is that you can ride in a boat and ride between the levels. In each map there is a switch palace, and the goal is to get all 4, and then the you unlock the last world. I'm pretty sure how to do this, except the boat. This is not so much of a question, and more like asking how you guys would do it. Thanks!
Currently working on:
Super Kekcroc World 4 (lol jk)
Wow, I got exactly same idea (Without boat tho) for one of my future hacks. Well, I like this idea.


If you're going to build just few worlds, I'd recommend to:

- Use only the Main Map;

- Bigger Maps;

- Avoid 90° and 45° tiles as much as possible, they make the ground look square.

Yeah, that map was just thrown together for a picture, I plan on fixing alot of it. I was just wondering if you guys liked the idea, and if you had any ways you recomend to do it. I'm thinking more along the lines of the raft system in smb3.

IMO SMB3 map must go with whole SMB3 GFX and if you're planning to make the islands like water and grass together and use SMW GFX don't put the brown wall tiles near the water.

The raft will be cool anyway.

I'll be waiting for the next pic! =D
It's a good idea, but is there an overworld sprite or anything that allows for the boat?

Also you should really work on that island in the upper right, the perspective is all off.

Looking forward to see what you can pull off!

Upper left, you mean?

Now that you said I've noticed that the Upper Right and Bottom Left are the same map flipped! That's is just a sketch though...

If you're going to use a boat, I think both of them look cool:



Or maybe you can make a submap that links to all others submaps, you could make a "ship map":



Would be interesting too.

Hope these help!

Oops, yes that's what I meant. Silly me.

Your ideas sound interesting. Hope they can be pulled off.
This claims to have a boat Overworld sprite.
Look up this JP hack, Romancing Mario by 774.

It uses this concept as well, but with carol's old OW Yoshi Flight sprite. Maybe it could help you brainstorm some ideas?
There are playthroughs on YouTube.
