What does that have anything to do with this thread? o_O
Well yeah, This hack is awsome. I have it on my computer. Awsome as hell. I once had a YI hack to. But i never finished it. I start discussing with S.N.N to. But then he still had anhoter nickname to. Jeez. I bet you cant remember that anymore S.N.N :P
Bumping for an update...

I'm currently working on 4-7. I plan on releasing a 4-world demo once World 4 is done, obviously.

Here are three of the latest screens...

4-5: The Sky's The Limit


4-6: Balloon Bonanza


4-7: Let Go Of My Babies!


As you can see starting from the 4-6 screen, I've enhanced the Yoshi colors so that they match those found on the intro scene. And starting from the 4-7 screen, you can see that now each Yoshi has its own custom boot colors.

Also, there will be three new Yoshi colors that will be used in Extra levels: orange, white, and black.
Alright, about time for an update on this hack. I'm still hard at work on this hack, and am currently working on World 5. I decided not to release a 4-world demo as I've said, since the hack will only be 5 worlds. Now, before you go all hoopla, it's only 5 worlds for a reason. I've implemented "Secret" levels into each world, similar to those found in SMA3, only instead of unlocking them when beating the game, you unlock them alongside the Extra levels when scoring 100 on all levels in a world. In order to make room for these Secret levels, I had to cut out the 6th world. Now, you may ask, why not just keep everything as is and just have 6 worlds? Well, pretty much for the sake of doing something different and innovative for a change. Plus, implementing the Secret levels only takes the total level count down to 50 as opposed to 54 in the original. Besides, I feel that I've made plenty of nice adjustments to make it feel like an appropriate 5-world hack :D.

Okay, there is now a slightly modified story in this hack...

STORY: Oh no! On his way to delivery Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to their parents, Kamek kidnapped Baby Luigi from the stork! During this uproar, Baby Mario fell to Yoshi's Island, where the Yoshis decided to work together to reunite the brothers. The Yoshis decided to take turns hauling Baby Mario around, until meeting up with the Chosen One. With his immense power, the Yoshis knew the Chosen One would be able to defeat Kamek and reunite the brothers once in for all. Will the Chosen One actually be able to beat Kamek and Bowser? And just who is this mysterious Chosen One?

Now onto some new screens...

Extra 4: Pit Of 50 Trials


5-2: Fish With Big Appetites


The rest of the final world is being kept under wraps though :P.

Now, onto the new title screen and map screen. Big thanks to Mattrizzle for the new graphics in these screens, except for the Secret level icons, which S.N.N. did for me.



No major changes here, but it has some nice tweaks, such as the "SMW2+2" title, the Copyright 2008 Golden Yoshi, and if you look closely, I edited out one of the castles, to keep it consistent with the five-world theme.



As you can see here, new map screen icons. Also, notice how the world tabs are now larger, to make up for the missing 6th world.

Whew, well, sorry if this was all a bit overwhelming, but I realized I hadn't updated here in a while, and was about time for a nice generous update.

Oh, and if any would like...



Plus, here is a video of one of my older level's in action, for anyone who may have not played it before.

Thanks for everyone's help and support so far :D.
Nice graphic skills.
I need to improve D:
Your layout has been removed.
I must be blind troopa pride because I don't see any graphic changes...
Just back here to browse a bit.
The only graphic changes I saw on Golden Yoshi's post were the new title screen, the new Yoshi color which isn't really new, and the new level icons.

It's explained right there b2t ;).
Heh, those new level icons look fabulous. :)

I have a strong urge to hack YI all of a sudden. ._.
I like the idea of that level.
Mind if I use the same idea for referencing GTA? XD

You're referring to the Grand Theft Mario level?

Speaking of references, SMW2+2 will have its share of pop culture references. See if you can find them all! :D

Her haps a Leroy Jenkins level were you just charge in and fight big mobs of enemys without having time to think?
A good title would be "YOOSHIII JEEENKINS!!"
Errr, a good title that is, if you have the room.

Ha ha ha...

No.
mmmmm
How about SMWCentral level?
You could probably try to make a SMW level in a YI style :P
And we all know what the level icon would be.
INCOMING BANZAI BILL WITH MARIO JUMPING INFRONT OF IT Z0MG!

Well, thanks, but I've already got everything planned out for this hack. And by pop culture references, I simply meant just in the level names. Several level names in this hack will have references from various mediums in pop culture. Everything from Guns N' Roses, to The Little Mermaid, to Forrest Gump ;).
I currently have 10 11 of the 30 unique icons finished. What are they? You'll have to wait until you can play the hack in its entirety! ;)
Where can I find SMW2+? I went to your website (shown on the first page) and tried to download it there, but the hack's opening sequence spat out 2 garbled messages, the first of which instantly disappeared, the second of which halted the game.

Do you have a version of the hack that.....works?
I bought a cactus. A week later it died. And I got depressed, because I thought, Damn. I am less nurturing than a desert. -Demetri Martin.

The one you downloaded does work. That hack has been out over two years and many have played it in entirety. It's not my hack that's problem. You patched it to the wrong version of the ROM. It has to be patched to version 1.0 (U) of the Yoshi's Island ROM. Patching it to any other version will yield the problems as you described.
But I deleted all my files on the game.....thats not enough? Well, Ill try again anyway.

What? Why did you delete all your files on the game? I didn't say to do that. That doesn't have anything to do with that error.

I said you downloaded the wrong version of the ROM. You need to download version 1.0 (U). That's why the game crashes and has garbled graphics, because you patched my hack .ips to the incorrect version of the Yoshi's Island ROM.
