TGCA REMAKE! (New screenshot + July trailer!!!)

[mariogeek2]

OK guys, due to popular demand, I'm removing the joke levels. Are you satisfied now?

No!!! How could you?! You jerks made him remove the joke levels. Those things looked awesome(Not really.

Although, all joking aside, I honestly love joke levels (That don't just spam stuff and don't use vanilla graphics). Joke levels can be fun if done properly. Like deadfish's submission for CC7.

I might, alternatively, though, if some people are interested, keep the joke levels, but then they will not have stars, but SMB3 ? balls instead, like the joke levels in ToB6. Only the secret joke level will have stars. However, I'm not decided whether to scrap the joke levels entirely or keep them for a laugh.

That's a good choice for removing the Joke Levels because they are, no matter how, useless. I am still looking forward to this Remake. I wish you good luck on it.

I say that the castle should have some added secrets, like the castle in SM64 (or by extension, SM63)
and one of the secrets is the joke room. The joke room could include my joke level and the others, but none of them will be required.

Yeah, and also the unused Twilight Town section as well. I might bring that area back as the joke levels area.

That is perfect! This way, players who want to play them can but players who don't want to don't have to.

If any of you guys have looked through the hub of the original TGCA, you should find an unused section with the SMW night background, a lone Ninji, SMB3 cloud blocks and a Message Block. This is the entrance to Twilight Town, which was originally going to be in TGCA but was scrapped due to the block limit of 1000 blocks and 50 warps at the time. However, since the block limit has been changed to 16384 and the warp limit to 200, it's going to be brought back in the remake! This is where all the new levels will be, so the positions of the original levels in the remade hub will not be changed. Here's a screenshot:

Will the joke levels be in Twilight Town?

[HeroLinik]

Will the joke levels be in Twilight Town?

Yeah. They won't have stars though.

[Kyo]

Will the joke levels be in Twilight Town?

Yeah. They won't have stars though.

Why did you make a poll if you knew it wouldn't affect your opinion?

They're still not finalised. Whether joke levels will actually make it into the episode will be decided by the most votes on the poll.

Hey castlewars, I have an idea about Mad Mad Volcano.
I think it would be interesting if, in the background of MMV, you can see Bowser's castle far off in the distance. I thought it would be an interesting idea because MMV and the outside of Bowser's castle use the same tileset. I'm not quite sure how you do that though...

I might, but I suck at making graphics. If I could get a graphics designer to help then it could be grand. Currently I'm using reghrhre's volcano tileset and the music for it is F-F-Fire! from Mother 3 in SMW style (this was the same music reghrhre used in his CC7 level). If you have any better music suggestions then please let me know! I take suggestions for this!

I could help with the Bowser's Castle thing. Granted, I might just reuse a sprite from some game, though I would need to know the design of the castle to put it there.

You could do this Bowser's Castle thing being in the distance by maybe basing it off this background:

This was used in ToB7, but make Bowser's Castle smaller and make the volcanoes foregrounded, so it'll look better.

Okay, but a... MMV's background, please?

[HeroLinik]

As I said earlier, I suck at making graphics. The background I gave you from ToB7 is just a guideline of what the background should look like. BTW do you have reghrhre's GFX packs? There should be a volcano tileset and blocks in there. You can fit the Bowser's Castle onto there.

Well, I'm not that good without a base, but when I looked at that background you posted as a reference, I thought of the castle in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, so I edited a screenshot of it.

Looks quite good. Try making the Bowser's Castle a bit bigger though, so the player can actually see it in the background.
