Update 07/04/2024: This hack has been moved to the Discord server, if you'd like to see updates, you can consider joining there, I constantly upload some stuff from the hack there ^^, also, this post will get eventually updated with new screenshots, more videos and a download link when the hack is finished ;).

Well, I started NSMB rom hacking in December, and I had always wanted to make a hack, but never had the opportunity until today. Now, I want to present to you a hack that I have been putting a lot of effort into and that I am excited to bring to you, I decided to call it:



The mechanics of this hack are somewhat simple, the worlds are exactly the same as in the original game but redesigned in my own way, many of the levels are inspired by various levels from other franchises in the Mario universe, as well as including complex and challenging levels for the player. It also includes Special-Themed levels such as Candyland, Autumn Forest, Ghost Ship, Sky Sanctuary and Totem Towers (Like in NSMB2), and much more!!

Here are some screenshots of the hack (Spoiler Alert)



More screenshots coming soon ;)



Please know that this game is still in progress, so I appreciate that you don't ask me for download links nor do you ask me "when will the hack be finished?", it will be finished when it's finished. Anyway, if you would like to see progress of the hack, you can always check out my YouTube channel by clicking here, I constantly upload videos of the hack there. Also, this post will get eventually updated as I progress, so, stay tuned ;)

Most of these backgrounds are combinations of some parts taken from other backgrounds, and others of them are images that I get from the internet and I rearrange them so that they fit well :) (I really hate when people upload fake transparent images).

As for your request, let me see if I can fix the grass in the background a little, I made it that color so it would match the vines.

Edit: I tried to make the grass darker and also added some "hot dogs", but it looks a little bit ugly in game

Give me your opinions  crook

Edit 2: I made some backgrounds, I need to hear your opinions

This background is an adaptation of some jungle tilesets from "Contra 4"


A Peach Castle BG as requested, I don't think it looks good anyway, also, I tried this background in game and it looks glitchy...


Hot Dogs!!! >:)


A background meant to be Peach Castle or Rushing Rapids bottom background, lost a little bit of quality in game but is still manageable :P

What do you think? Tell me if you want me to change or improve something.

What do you think about this background?


It's a background that I ripped from "Donkey Kong: Jungle Climber", I thought we could use it for Snowy Savannah.

I was just going to ask you if I could make a city tileset, I'll start making them tomorrow.

As for the rainbow tileset, what would you like to see included in the tileset?

Alright, after hours of work, I was able to make two versions of the same Tileset, tell me which one you like better or if you would like me to change something.

Version 1


Version 2

This one includes some texture rips from Rainbow Road from Mario Kart DS and some other stuff, here's a video of how the tilesets look in game:

Thank you so much mate, I feel good to help with Tilesets and Backgrounds, as for Neo City, would you like some sort of futuristic city Tilesets (like in Mario Kart 7)?, and for the Sky City Tilesets, I found some Sky City Tiles from Newer Wii in the Uploader, what do you think?

Edit:

I was thinking on making another Space Tileset with no Rainbows, since that first Tileset I made is a little bit monotonous in my opinion, Rph didn't sent me any level ideas but I have some in mind.

Also, the doodad appears in MKDS Rainbow Road as a ring that makes a star sound when you pass through it.

Edit 2: After many hours of work, I was able to make some awesome Sky City Tilesets

Click here to download and click here to see a preview of the Tilesets, sorry if the video has bad quality.

TILESET PACK BY ME

After days of work, I managed to make some World-Themed Tilesets for the hack, you can download all of them by CLICKING HERE. I still plan on making more Tilesets, but for now, here are some previews of the ones that I finished:

MUSHROOM GORGE


Man, It took me like 7 f**king hours to make this goddamn Tileset...

MUSHROOM GORGE 2


This one includes some decoration, paths and a simplified version of the bridge, we could use this one for normal Mushroom Gorge levels and the other one could be used for Mushroom Gorge Atlethic levels.

SNOWY SAVANNAH


Includes a blue variant.

SNOWY SAVANNAH 2


This one includes ice, mini mario blocks and paths, I couldn't include those in the other one due to space limitations.

RUSHING RAPIDS (Remastered)



This time I included some "Hot Dogs", windmills, and improved some other stuff, the ZIP file also contains a redesigned version of the level I sent before, since it got really messed up with the new Tileset importation.

That's all for now, what do you think guys? Any question or suggestion is well received.

It's really sad that this forum hasn't been too active lately, but hey, the Discord is a nice place, and yeah, here's a lot of useful information and cool resources

Indeed, wise words, in conclusion we can say that Discord is better for communicating and the forum is better for retaining information that people can easily search like Thierry said, and no, the forum isn't dying, it's just ^{not as active as before}, sometimes I take look at here when I need specific information, tutorials or assets for my hack, and nostalgia as well.

_{Also, Thierry, why don't you join to the Discord too? Would be nice if you were there}

NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. 2 TOTEM POLE TILESET

Sorry for the bump, and I know  poudink already made a Totem Tileset, but his Tileset has restricted SubNohara and this new Tileset has more objects, with all the respect in the world to poudink and without any desire to discredit his work , also, sorry if the Tileset looks messy

In my personal opinion, both Discord and NSMBHD have their positive and negative sides, communicating on Discord is more comfortable and faster, but you can also do some cool stuff on this website (like customizing your layout) it's just that both Discord and NSMBHD have a different essence, at the end of the day, it's up to people which one they prefer more, and we can't force people to join Discord if they don't want to. I feel like there's nothing we can do to "revive" this forum, some people lose interest on NSMB modding and other people simply want to dedicate to their personal hobbies and aspirations in life, and that's completely understandable, as long as we continue to inspire and help people who are new to this, I guess that's all that matters
