Nope, I just used whatever custom sprites and blocks were available to download at SMWCentral, plus I put in a few requests for other ones.

I suppose I wanted it to still have a SMW feel to it. Plus, I guess I was a bit lazy this time around.

Well, it's good to see an LP soon after the release. Looks like raocow stays current.

Oh hello, S.N.N. I've had the opportunity to test a small demo of this hack, and I was thoroughly impressed. Don't think I can give too much away, but it was a very innovative and interesting SMW hack experience. Anyway, I rarely look forward to SMW hacks nowadays, but this of course is an exception...

Hack is done and has been released.

I gotta way to fix that. LP SMW2+2 next.

Anyway, nice job with the LP's, raocow.

Hm. Sadly, the game seems to be somewhat lacking in the last levels :( . I don't know, the difficulty curve is kind of iffy - today's was really easy, probably by the fact that the once feared lakitus of SMW1 are a complete joke with vertical tongue available and the wall guys take forever and a ha...

Yes, you can. In fact, the last flower is hidden in the water. In the video at 1:28, you can swim UNDER the mud ledge to get a flower hidden in the water.

Great level, great job, though you should notice the pattern by now: If there's a door randomly standing in a hallway, it's almost guaranteed to be a sidepath for points only...don't remember any example where it wasn't, and you always get SO distressed by those ^^. Simon That is generally how I li...

I can imagine raocow lping this.. "i missed a red coin... dang it!" and then to redo the level :p I can foresee that too. However, this time there's no reward for getting 100, just the satisfaction of doing so. :P I'll toss in a couple more screens: http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/584/...

Just a question: how will the collectibles work if it's just one level? I mean, will there be the usual number for a level? Will there be a reward for getting everything? Yes, there will be your usual 20 red coins and 5 flowers. I'd love to give some type of reward if a perfect score is earned on t...

Seeing as raocow has an LP of my previous YI hack in progress, I figure I should post this here as well: Golden Yoshi Returns will be my third YI hack. What I'm doing different this time is that this hack will only contain one level. Two catches/gimmicks/whatever: 1. The level will be VERY long. I i...

I see at smwcentral.net Jacob making a new YI hack. but until that time, let us enjoy this one! also, I rember raocow commenting another players let'd play fo this. Perhaps we will get the favor returned? :P Oh yeah...I oughta make a thread about that hack here as well. Although it will only be one...

Hahaha, the transition when you go from the castle to outside was so abrupt. The ghost enemies are awesome here. Yea, there's really no special reason I decided to do that. I just thought it'd be interesting to mix it up a bit. :P Fun fact about this level: I was originally planning on using Marchi...

So wait, if you really wanted too, you could just straight up finish that level in three seconds? Again, an awesome level. The extra levels in the original Yoshi's Island never served any real purpose. The biggest challenge was usually scoring 100 points on them. I tried to keep the extra levels in...

how do you get that one flower that's like completely trapped underground?

"Mother Ducker" is by far the best phrase ever, hands down. There's also a level with the theme of kidnapping in smw2+2 called "grand theft mario", huh. In retrospect, I think "Mother Ducker" was a bit too edgy of a name for a cutesy game such as Yoshi's Island. Oh well.

Also, the level icons don't have anything to do with the level because back when this was made, they didn't know how to change the level icons around like Kamek's Revenge did. So what you see is not what you get in this case. Not true. Back then, I just didn't have anyone to draw custom icons for m...

This looks like a really, really good game so far. I def think the puzzles in each level, really making you earn those red coins and flowers, is what sets it apart from normal old Yoshi's Island. But looking back at SSSkinner's LP of SMW 2+2 in comparison, SMW 2+ looks like it's a lot more difficul...

Wait a minute, I'm a little slow on the uptake, Jacob is Golden Yoshi? Thanks for all the wonderful games! Do you still hack these games or have you given up? Yup, I am Golden Yoshi. However, I no longer make ROM hacks. Just wondering, is that by choice or due to some limitation? By choice. There a...

I think in SMW2+2 Jacob made an entire secret level based off it if I remember.

Not an entire level, but a small portion of a secret level in SMW2+2 used the same concept, yes.

If you'd really like the technical explanation for this issue... If you collect a coin, red coin, flower, or ? cloud in one screen, leave the screen, and come back, all other collectable items in that screen that were vertically parallel to the collected item will vanish. I didn't know what caused t...

I remember this first Yoshi's Island hack. It was kind of a mess, I just wanted to jam as much stuff into it as possible as I was finally able to edit Yoshi's Island. The levels were kind of all over the place.

And yes, I'm a he.
