Yeah. I don't think Meow Thwimp is supposed to be like that.

Are you supposed to be able to get up on top of that mountain thingy?

Ooh.

Yeah. Not really a bug, but still notable. When you carry the P-Switch from the last area into the pipe, and run into the goal with it, the turnip/radish gets stuck up there. Try to set it so Demo cannot carry an item into that area. :) Problem solved then.

All the issues I found were put in spoil tags. :D

It's a difficult hack, but something I could enjoy on some downtime.

[raocow]

other than the sqashed p-switch, I do believe I've adressed everything mentionned here yet.

Keep it coming guys!

Level 2: The porcupuffers. If you hit the crumble blocks just right you can kill both of the ones at that point and make a good portion of the level really easy from then on.

[raocow]

I am tempted to leave it as is, in a way. I mean, it is level 2, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have an 'out' for peeps who can figure that trick out, I think.

[FroggerbobT]

RC, on level 2, was I supposed to be able to take the yoshi past the pencil spikes? cuz...uhh i did and the level was really effin easy after that (i fast forwarded a lot and won really easily).

[raocow]

there's no yoshi until the goat house in the actual game, so.... (I removed the yoshi and the test pipe in the latest update up there)

[morsel/morceau]

I've only played the first three levels of the latest patch so far. Gotta say I really like it. Unusual music, original graphics, lots of good ideas. Echoing the 'very hard' sentiment. One way of making it more palatable might be breaking up the levels some more. IMO, all of the sublevels in 'sand forest theatre' is good enough for a level in itself.

Whatever, here are all the graphical and other bugs I found (not all of which affect playability):

now here
now not; boo cloud sometimes stops moving as well
sometimes just a block, sometimes just wings
safe to land...
where did he come from?
should be arbitrary
is the cloud meant to be unoccupied?
these three guys apparate when I kill the cloud guy
bouncing on noteblock
if I didn't have a shell to kill myself how do I escape?
where's my vine?
ditto
ditto

[raocow]

version 0.4. Attempt at adressing everything mentioned up to now except the squashed p-switch.

I'm also not sure what to do about the note block, since that's not the only stage it's an issue. I'm tempted to leave them be as, well, the stages affected would be completely and utterly different if I changed the spritesets, right?

It's a concession that I'm ready to make, at least.

[Argumentable]

You can fix it with ExGFX (in some cases) as the noteblock graphic is in GFX13. I know it conflicts with eeries and pencils, but if there's none of those in those levels, there's no reason really not to fix it

Oh, is that so?

Since my problem seems to be constantly be noteblocks and castle-stuff.

Dang it, I have to buckle down and understand how to work ExGFX.

[Argumentable]

Just get GFX13, copy the noteblock, then paste it in the same spot in your castle/ghost GFX then save it as ExGFX###.bin

Also if you are doing that anyway, you might be able to use hex to change where the eerie graphics point to and have both eeries and noteblocks

[raocow]

That is it?

That is litteraly it?

Why do I keep remembering it being more complicated then that.

[morsel/morceau]

Just finished version 3. Initially I feared the oil cave wouldn't be possible, but somehow...then, the fish bouncing in the goat house. However, having got through that, my guess is the Yoshi house isn't supposed to scroll vertically, right? Baby Yoshi wouldn't even eat the berries I could see.

Other issues:

got there from underneath as layer 2 scrolled down

I get hit by the blaarg and this apears under me

hardly an issue really

I hit him, he went for a walk and ended up there

invisble coin block remains invisible somehow; also strange thing with coins in this whole area - I'd collect them (hear the sound) but they stayed visible

can pass through the block from underneath, after couple of tries you can interact with it

what do I do? *scrolls screen*...

...oh, there it is

thought it was funny you could eat your reset door

these blocks are weird; standing still here

fell through the apex

ball at top of screen is glitched very slightly here

sometimes when restarting this area, this happens

invisible flying platform

I'm standing in the top left of the pipe

this is as far as the house scrolls when I get out, Yoshi won't eat the berries and...

...the chimney kills me

[raocow]

didn't fix anything in this version except to make the goat house possible to beat. (I'll be working on the rest later tonight)

[BlackDS]

I love it. I hate it.
It should be nicknamed Kaizo Mario 3.
No hub at the top? What the hell?
Very appropriate title.
Ahhh, the level length. It burns.
I would make a terrible LPer, I gave up on the second level about here.

Oh, and to make fun of SMWC, a hack was removed because of this.

Dang it, the music block has the same space as the swinging mace!
So I can't really replace it in a lot of spots, including the wood level.

Hmm...

[Chdata]

You can use something like these custom blocks. I really like them.
These are bouncy

Or you can go in translhextion and remap the bounce block sprite to some spot that's unused, do you use the coin game cloud coin? you can remap it to that and have the bounce block fixed for all levels.

Hmm...

No it doesn't, it takes up the moving spike graphic like I said. The mace is on SP4 and the noteblock uses SP3

[raocow]

I think I'm doing something wrong.

I created ExGFX80, loaded it up with SP3 on level 3, and I still get the glitched up note blocks.

I'm sorry if this is getting frustrating, but there are these things that just don't click with me and I'm really getting disapointed with myself here.

[Argumentable]

Ok I may have been slightly wrong about it, but you had the noteblock graphic just a little too far to the left

If you have this problem again you can just look at the glitch and then open up YY-CHR to see what its loading

Oh, and to make fun of SMWC, a hack was removed because of this.*pic*

Did you even read what SNN said, or did you just think that that was a joke?

Anyways, the hack is pretty cool, rao, but yeah, fricken' hard.

[raocow]

Now with (hopefully) behaving note blocks

[FroggerbobT]

ugh im still on v3... gotta rename stuff now...

shit, RC, it got hard in lvl 2 with no yoshi...

[raocow]

hahaha, that's what you get for telling me it was TOO easy with the guy!
