I know when I was watching Authorblues playing a bit of this, he laughed at ILLUSIYELLOW but I am unaware of the context of the joke.

Mud boot mud level was pretty neat with using the weird physics of that weird tile, maybe could've done without the sun section but it's fine I guess. Bubble level also could've stood to be a bit shorter and maybe not been as happy with using those bounce blocks. Somehow it ended up being one of the first levels to start giving me some actual trouble outside of oil zone and Arduous Harbor.
Because Touhou OCs can in fact exist, sounds fake I know.

I can't change my username but I go by Vali/Claire now (aka call me Vali or Claire at your leisure ^^).

I never update this currently playing section anymore, it's probably an RPG or something.

SMW level names are by default 19 ($13) characters long, so the ILLUSI and YELLOW in FOREST OF ILLUSION and YELLOW SWITCH PALACE are crunched up a bit to fit in the space. If you've ever seen like how Star Ocean's translation patch handles some of the longer named techs, it's basically like that.

IIRC they're also placed right next to eachother in the alphabet + layer 3 graphics bin

Ohhh. Huh, never quite noticed before. Makes sense though, I've seen examples of that before, just never noticed it with SMW somehow.

Something I've been wondering. Wether it's collectible or not, is there a moon in every level?

I was gonna copy and paste my youtube comment about the context of ILLUSIYELLOW in here but it seems someone's already explained it.

Also this thread's naming gimmick's pretty good

Always nice to see Demo again, especially a pleasant surprise in a completely unrelated hack.

This is correct, and WHY "ILLUSIYELLOW" is a thing at all. If they weren't, they'd be JUST graphics, but since they're right next to each other, it becomes hilariously coherent...somehow.

The Bootstrapped is my favorite level so far. You go in thinking it means "Bootstrapped" as in "Bootstrapped Leitmotif", but then you find out it actually means "Boots trapped".

ILLUSIYELLOW is also pretty fun. Even the sprite coins from fireballing enemies are illusionary!

ILLUSIYELLOW is very interesting level. Though it was weird for me that munchers (they are mostly black) and rainbow shells will be considered yellow. I really liked this level. Even though I felled for every yellow thing in this level and died 50 times. I still like this level.

Here's what ILLUSIYELLOW actually looks like. What an easy level!

amazing, it's like a genuine 'kinda there' hack, it's fascinating how much the smoke and mirrors just change everything.

Man ILLUSIYELLOW was real funky. I wonder how technically difficult it was to make the sprites selectively interact like that?

Really though, Jump 1/2 seems to be among the most creative hacks I've seen in a very long time. Each of the levels manages to have it's own unique flavor so far!

i want to believe it's just a combination of uberasm for the sprites and custom blocks for the yellow ground

Yes.

To be specific, the way the gimmick works is that the yellow sprites are in a background. Normally only net Koopas can be in background in Super Mario World, but there is nothing preventing other things from becoming background sprites. To avoid yellow sprites from appearing behind foreground, the graphics modes are configured so that Layer 1 is always behind sprites (this was inspired by how pipes in TSRPR have priority enabled, so that Piranha Plants would appear below pipes due to unusual graphics settings set by HDMA patch TSRPR is using).

I'm xfix, by the way. If you happen to be an admin on Talkhaus, and see this message, feel free to change my username here to "xfix" (without quotes), thanks :).

Again, it's better to contact an admin yourself if you want a name change. Who knows if if one will see your post.
