for getting me back into rom hacking.

I remember asking you if you planned on getting back into rom hacking shortly after you left and your answer was "nothing short of a SMB3 disassembly".

lol

In any event, that map... it looks like it's one of those spiffy free roaming maps. Except you can only go where there isn't anything but pipes and bare green. I'm not sure how limited you are with that map just yet, but I'd like to see some kind of pathway to better highlight where you can and can't go. But, seeing as you've just started, I'm sure it will happen in due time.

Ninja Mario: I don't see any reason not to give him downward or at least downward diagonal shuriken abilities. Shurikens themselves don't seem like something that could do a lot of damage, so maybe you could just limit what they affect.

Boo Mario: I wish I was good enough to actually sprite for you, because all I can do is describe what I envision he might look like. Perhaps he's got an all white suit, not form fitting like his other clothes, but sheet-like and has a point near his backside like the raccoon tail. As far as functionality goes, why not have the game detect how many solid blocks he's gone through? if it's more than 3 or 4, then make him go out of his "transcendant mode".

I also would suggest, like Scrydan, to just make Mario small if he gets stuck in blocks. I can see that being a massive source of frustration if something like that happened to me.

It might be obvious, but it eludes me: What is that blue stuff in the last picture of that post?

Oh, I see. It would have been much more apparent had I seen a proper pool of water. I think it would look good for the aesthetics of the level. I've seen you do that before with another hack, and it looks great.

No doubt, I forgot to imply that I knew there were some, due to there obviously being water in that level as you said. My mistake.

Any ideas for sand land World 2?
