Super Mario Bros. X Forums

Joey suggested we do this and a couple weeks back I started modifying smbx.exe with tools such as HexEdit and Extractor with help from DarkChao. Soon enough, when the site maintenance is over, we'll be releasing this little update for SMBX. Here's a changelog:

• Changes for 1.3.0.1:
  
  Editor
  -The button icons for various items no longer use GBA palettes.
  -SMB2 Grass slopes have been fixed.
  -SMB3 Wood slopes have been fixed.
  -SMW Castle tiles have been fixed.
  -New SMB3 sizables have been added.
  -New SMW sizables have been added.
  -Graphics with the GBA version palette now use the SNES palette like the rest of the graphics in the game.
  -The score effects now use sprites from SMB3.
  -Various other graphical fixes.
  
  Players
  -Tanooki Mario is no longer missing a row of pixels on top.
  -Toad now uses the sprite from SMB2 for the SNES. (He has more spots on his hat.)
  
  Main Game
  -New Princess Cliche has been added as a default episode.
  -Two new battle stages have been added.
  -There's a new intro level.
  
  Music
  -All music now has increased quality.
  
  Sound
  -All sounds now have increased quality.

Yeah, it might not sound all that special, but it's something.

Wish that Peach and Toad were SMB3 styled.

It looks nice, but unfortunately only the first screen looks like it's truly new. The others are just reskins. At least there will be new powerup and Yoshi!

You realize that the pick BMV showed was fake and that Toad is over Mario/Luigi. Also there is no new yoshi.

"if you like this game then show your support to nintendo and buy a wii u" lol
also,

-_- Aw well, we'll wait for someone else to make a large update. Nice work anyway though.

That maybe happens in like 100 years.

Hopefully by then this will be made:

So, you're deciding to remodel SMBX years after Redigit stated that he would request no other modifications would be made so it would be more simplistic for him and his relationship regarding Nintendo? You're like screwing him up. At this point, maybe someone else will get sued, but frankly those deserve it. Look, I'm grateful that someone is ATTEMPTING to make a new version, but hell guys, it's not going to last; you might as well give up this very instant. Everyone is enthusiastic, while a lot of users like Quill and BMV are showing counterfeit screenshots and mentioning disloyal remarks. Don't get your hopes up about any "prodigious" changes, just saying.

I apologize for the attitude, but not sorry about the fact that some of you are screwing Redigit up.

What bugfixes will there be?

We can't get in trouble since we don't have ads.

I don't remember what the conditions of the cease & desist were, but I'm pretty sure Redigit won't get in trouble for us posting SMBX here. Not to mention Nintendo only cared because of ads.

No other details will be given out past this point.

Darkonius64: is reddy aware of this...?
Darkonius64: i think yes...?
Valtteri Tim Black: he couldn't care less

That too.

(not sure if he's aware exactly of what's going on but he probably doesn't care either)

This will never be released

Will there be more updates where this came from?

doesn't excite me at all

I didn't realize that. I thought Redigit was sued for ripping REAL SMBX graphics from other Mario games and therefore Nintendo felt they shouldn't tolerate that. At least that's what I heard from some dude.
Redigit won't get in trouble, but I thought he'd get US in trouble. That was why I made a huge deal out of that.
I'm fine without anymore details. Good luck.

Redigit got a cease & desist from Nintendo of America. We're not sure exactly why, but the general consensus is that it was because of the ads (either on the site or in the download, if the latter even has ads). However, lots of other Mario/Nintendo sites have sprites and other copyrighted content and are just as popular and don't get taken down.

Redigit couldn't care less about this anymore.

This is truly something special to me.
If you want, i could even work on a launcher for this seperate from the world manager. About the manager, I've already talked to Joey about potentially implementing it so we'll see it's up to him really.
