Super Mario Bros. X Forums

I couldn't find a decent Dark World theme so I decided to make my own. I followed the MLBIS theme and recolored sprites left and right. I know that there are dark NPCs already made, but I figured I would make my own version using YI and SPP sprites, as well as a few of Squishy Rex's recolored NPCs (Banzai Bill and Bill Blaster). I also recolored Valtteri's animated Bullet Bill. I hope you guys enjoy the content.

This content will recieve updates in the future.

More NPCs
More BGOs and tiles

I really do like this tileset but the red eyes in the BGOs
just don't look right to me they seem too red to be a background.
but besides that This tileset is
pretty cool and I can't wait to see more
of those dark npcs

Ok I'll make them darker in the next update

New content added to tileset and more NPCs were recolored!! See forum topic for details!

Oh man, not only you made a Dark Version of Bowser over Ludwig, you even made a whole set of Pack like this. I really like these. You made a good work.

thx, I'm basically making these for my episode lol

Wow, this looks fantastic. Kind of makes me want to add onto somehow. Maybe a Dark Castle tileset or something. Anyways, despite this being really awesome, I have one tiny nitpick. The outlines are kind of inconsistent in my opinion. Some NPCs have black outlines while others have gray. This could be kind of disorienting for some people, and I think I would prefer it if you recolored all the outlines black.

yeah I was noticing that too lol and ur right, they should have all been outlined black. Just a minor detail I overlooked, I'll fix it in the next update.

I Liked, go help me in my episode.

But... where is the dark mountain background? I think that are enclosed.

I didn't make the dark mountain bg but you can find it in the ultimate graphics pack located in the castlevania folder

This a great pack! I will certainly be using this if you don't mind.

not at all, feel free

UPDATE: Added sizable blocks, dark cloud BGOs and fixed the NPC effects. See main post for details.

Good job using this tileset the wrong way ;P
Those singular dark pixels shouldn't exist, it's a tile for the fourth grassy piece, the largest one which drops a shadow into the tile below.

The recolour itself is, well, a recolour, so nothing crazy is to be expected. My only complain is that the red eyes are far too flashy for the rest of the environment, even though it's designed after Bowser's Inside Story's Dark Enemies.

so what ur saying is that I should darken the eyes.

This.
This is awesome.

Somehow this reminds me of the final battle in mario and luigi bowser's inside story. :p
