New SMB hack in the works
I recently stumbled upon a pretty promising SMB hack a guy is currently working on. Definitely a thorough hack, not a sprite swap-out bs "hack." In the creator's own words:
"Some features include:
* 32 all new levels (31 completely unique levels) with fun and attractive layouts ranging from easy to somewhat challenging.
* Themed worlds with different palettes and looks
* Tweaked controls including super stomp jump like in smb3/smw
* Two new power ups: stopwatch (freezes enemies like from smb2) and Mushroom retainer idol (gives invulnerability for a while)
* Unlimited lives
* Collect 100 coins for invincibility (this is good for those levels which you just can't beat.. eventually you collect 100 coins and can get past tough spots)
* All new graphics and backgrounds with animation
* New coin type to collect for 100%
* Many other changes and tweaks"
Check out this link if you're interested in seeing more about the hack: http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php/topic,4882.0.html (Not sure if linking is against the rules, if so, please remove it). There are also a couple of videos of gameplay on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/SuperMarioUnlimited. I'm pretty excited about this one, as the guy who is working on it is paying attention to every little detail to ensure full compatibility (PowerPak!). He says he hopes to release before Summer 2008.
