Hold shift and scroll. Pretty basic.

^^The editor uses the sprite database to find the sprite settings. Putting "see x" gives the sprite no data at all in the editor.

Was kinda annoying, that.

Eh, better effort than Nintendo.

There are a lot of sprites that I never got around to using in my hacks, so before I'm done with NSMBDS I want to play around with as many as I can. This is how I decided to use the pointing hands. They point to an invisible flying ? block, and to cross the chasm you'll need to jump on top of it and ride it to the other side.

If you fail and/or accidentally hit the block, you can always take an alternate route (open world, yeah!).

That Splunkin placement goes against every rule of decent level design. I suggest you not do that.

I can't figure out how to run using the B button. I have a lot of trouble running and jumping at the same time.

How do I run by holding down the B button? What is this, some advanced MMO-style key combination?

Why must Nintendo make these games so difficult and unapproachable for new players? You have to be a no-life to figure out how to run with the B button.

This might be one of those background-dependent things.

 Ndymario, try setting the Bottom BG of Area 1 of your level to 0 and change the sound set of your Bowser Jr. area to 0D.

Let me know how it goes.

If someone has an answer they will reply.

No I need this for my self-esteem

Not much to say. Sorry for the delay, I was tired after work last night and forgot to post it.

I actually proposed this a couple weeks ago, but there wasn't much discussion about it.

Glad to see that other people are also interested.

Doesn't do any harm, I believe.

NSMBe expands the ROM size as it's needed anyway, though.

Since before all those things you said.

One of my favorite environmental tropes is the snow world, so naturally, Mount. Frostyhike is my favorite area to play around in in Super Mario: Endless Earth.

Then keep using the gray one.

3D Mario has me super hyped. I picked up these things from the video:

-There's a shop called 'Crazy Caps', and on a related note, Mario's cap has its own physics. Maybe this indicates SM64-esque cap abilities that you can buy?
-There's a beacon in the distance in the village. Perhaps indicating where the goal is without forcing linear level design?
-There's an umbrella with floating purple arrows marked above it, I assume standing under it does something.
-The Recovery Heart from SM64 can be seen, indicating the Power Meter is back.
-No noticeable time limit or live count. Maybe they've finally forgone the useless arcade game tropes?
-There's a frozen fountain in the village and large chunks of ice in the background of the other area.
-There are NPCs in the village.
-Giant moon in the sky, and stars in the daytime? Galaxy? There's a noticeable curvature of the planet too if you pay attention.

Looks fine to me.

I'm absolutely positive that the only reason Trump even ran for president was to stroke his own ego.

The problem is, he did this by striking a chord with the insensitive, bitter (and frankly, backwards) group of older Americans whose views and values are as dated as they are.

Check this shit out.

Could've, should've, but didn't. Lazy.
