These are really anything special or jaw dropping, but I was screwing around with some backgrounds and decided these were legit for the graphics forums. I may add more, but here are two of them. I will actually add more if people like them, enough I guess. I did use backgrounds from the ultimate graphic pack and others, so I give you all fair credit and if you have any issues with these backgrounds please PM me and they will be removed if a legit reason is given.

SMB3 Recolored SMW Rocks with SMW Hills [Save as background2-33]

SMB3 Blocks Background with Expanded Features [Save as background2-1]

These are being used in my project so please give credit if used, if reasonable.

First one looks useful, although the amount of layers makes the perspective look a little off for a mario level. It looks like you're looking from high in the sky down onto the plains.

2nd one has 1x1 pixels good job 10/10 would never look at again.

I see that the second one is only 500 pixels in height. SMBX uses a 800x600 window. In addition to addressing the 1x1 pixels, you may want to fill in the remaining 100 pixels on the top or bottom.

Just for fun, I did that myself and scaled the second one down to half size to eliminate the 1x1 issue. The hills do look a little too bumpy, and the angles of the leaning blocks could be "regraded" a little to eliminate bumps there too.

1:1 (a 45 degree angle), 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1 are all smooth in 8-bit and 16-bit graphics. The leaning blocks in this background from left to right appear to be 13:6, 2:1, and 8:5. The block in the middle is good, but the ones on the left and right need to be adjusted, and all three need to have the 1x1 pixels fixed.
