1-1 (NO NAME LET)






1-2 (NO NAME LET)






1-3 (NO NAME LET AND UNFINISHED)

Beta Testing Build

There's a beta testing build (Ver 0.1.4) for this project that is available to be play when playtesting can check if there any bugs or errors they encounter while playing the project.

This build currently has all of the levels of World 1, World A, most of the finished levels of World 2 including a "NEW" 2-B level "Countdown Mineshaft", the first level of World 3 and the "NEW" 3-2 level "Bubbly Cascade" which is when you can get the "NEW" Bubble Flower powerup.

There are bugs that I have encountered while working on this project but I haven't been enable to fix them let.
Note: A bug when the Red Coin Sprite respawn in invisible after going re-entering a section.
Note: Platform slopes don't react to npcs some times.
Note: Some Npcs have glitched death effects.
Note: The Big Blue Shy Guys and Big Blue Snifts may not work on slopes and the used blocks in A-Castle.
Note: Getting a Powerup or taking a hurt in a level with moving layers will screw up the position of the layers.
Note: Screen scrolling when entering the boss arena for Larry and Lggy will not move the backgrounds. (Parallax NPC/Bitmap Backgrounds by Yvahnek and HengShao for adding frames support I think)
Note: In 2-Ghost House, Getting the Bubble Flower powerup will not display the blowing bubble frame for mario. This does not happens if the player has the bubble flower state at the start of the level but will trigger this bug upon switching to a different powerup and back to bubble flower again.

Glad to see some of my graphics in use. Keep it up!

[TheOrangeToad]

One level from world 2 is now finished and the second level for world A is currently in the works.

2-2 (No Name)



A-2 (Spiky Garden)

Note: The level is not finished as explain by the second screenshot.

I also going to try and upload a playthrough of 2-2 to showoff the level in action soon.

[TheOrangeToad]

A new video which showcases 2-2 is now uploaded on Youtube.

[MarioStar]

This project looks awesome! I like vanilla graphics in Super Mario World (I guess)
Congrats, man!

[TheOrangeToad]

Sorry for the two months wait but here's more screenshots to showoff 2-3 and A-3 alongside some enemy battles.

A-3
Be careful while riding on those platforms, those pesky fuzzies will try to hurt you so you better watch your jumping skills.



2-3
Don't slip while riding on the skull rafts or your will become a burned chicken.



1-Bro (Hammer Bros) and A-Bro (Goomba Blockake)
If you win in these battles then you will be award with some great powerups or even world map items.


I also wanting to code stuff for this project without any major bugs that prevent the codes from working but we will see.

[Just_Thomas]

Really beautiful, also love the SMM2 stuff included, as it greatly expands the original content (specially the forest).
There is ONE thing I noted:

(https://postimg.cc/bZjmHTbY)
The background wooded plattform thingies: Can you make them smaller and a little bit and/or reduce it`s saturation?
I mean, even if you do not want to (or it is too troublesome at this point), it looks fine enough.
But I love how you made it look curvy (the slopes).

[TheOrangeToad]

I'm very sorry for the four months long yet again but I finished two more levels form World 2 and World A respectively.


A-4
This level's main focus is about Grinders from SMW which can now break broken blocks but also introduced a new type of grinder that I coded myself, Homing Grinders which follows the player movement.


2-Fort
This fortress level introduced Bob-Ombs and Bombshell Koopa (from Super Mario Land) which you will need because of the cement blocks that block your way from reaches the second mini boss, Mouser.


Not only that but I also made a userbar for this project.

Feel free to use this userbar on your signature if you like to support my project.

[anonymousmariofan17]

This is amazing! Your level design looks clean and fun to play! Really looking forward to your episode

[Just_Thomas]

If designed well, I never get tired of "original styled" levels. Colors do fit well.

[TheOrangeToad]

Here's a newer redesign level of 1-1 with a name: A Sliding Beginning
A introduction level featuring Goomba and Galoomba that slide down to you DOOM!


And as you can see in the screenshots I have a new hub now.

Credit goes to Victor ManuelMR's [HUD] Default-HUD that I used for modify my own hub for this episode.

[willizika96]

Loved it! It looks like a real sequel of SMW. Gonna play the demo ASAP.

[TheOrangeToad]

Sorry for the two mouth gap but I back to post some more progress.

1-2 (Redesigned)
This level's main focus is about throwing vegetables at enemies and introducing a green spiny variant that can stay on ledges, move slightly faster and when throw by a Lakitu, it will can turn into a spiny ball and chase the player.


1-3 (Redesigned)
In this stage, you will be faces some walking, sliding, flying, bouncing and hidden Rexes that will try to end your quest but luckily this level introduce the Raccoon Leaf that allows the player to fly when they have a enough speed on the ground.


A-Castle (WIP)
As you can tell by the last screenshot, this level isn't fully finished but it will be done by the time the 3rd demo of this episode get completed.


Hopefully the next progress update won't be as long as the previous updates.
