Hello guys! I am new to the NSMBhd website, but not new to hacking, as I have been doing it for some time.
Yet, at the same time, I wouldn't consider myself a "pro".

I started this hack about a year ago and just continued adding to it slowly. As Newer SMB DS was released, I started pondering about a crossover.

The hack has it's title from being exactly as it sounds. "New-ISH"

It's almost finished, and I am taking my time with it so I can make sure that the finished product will be pretty good.

The hack is about being in the middle of both the original SMB DS, and Newer. It's basically a combination of the games. I imported some custom tilesets, such as Ice Tower from the Wii, and Volcano Outside from the Wii.

The game has Newer DS music, custom Logo, and I inverted the colors of some on the Bitmaps.
One thing I will not appreciate is that none of the boss battles (Except World 1 Tower and World 8 Final) will have sound due to the background's code. I will attempt to fix that later. So for right now, I left it as the first tower, you get victory music as your "first victory battle".

I do have some screenshots on what the hack will look like, so scroll down. I expect that the hack will be released sometime in May, but no release date since I don't want to rush it.

None of the Map textures or objects will be changed, and the coin/block/pole will remain the original.
There's no ASM hacks in this game either, but maybe in the future.

If there's any comments or questions, any recommendations, feel free to post them here!

Current Progress: [Updated 5/8/2018] (100% Finished)

World 1: 100%
World 2: 100%
World 3: 100%
World 4: 100%
World 5: 100%
World 6: 100%
World 7: 100%
World 8: 100%














Mario has a staring contest lol.




Thanks for reading, and I am very excited!!

Nice! A new hack that's almost done! I love when this happens because you can provide updates about the hack, and also we'll be able to play a full hack soon! You should still provide a screenshot or two so we know what to expect from this.

How are you combining the two games? Is it a hack of NewerSMBDS or NSMB?

Good luck with this!

Thanks for the awesome question and comment!

I actually started hacking by just fooling around. I heard you could hack mario and so I just played with the editor. After a while, I started making custom levels, and then when Newer came out, that's when I got the idea.

The hack is the original New SMB DS ROM. I will update the game's status with a new thread soon with provided screenshots! As a matter of fact, I just finished a level today!

I actually just imported a couple of tilesets from Newer onto the hack, along with the full soundtrack of Newer, but still keeping some original graphics to the game. I also am custom making every single level in the game, and trying new ideas. Some levels are short and sweet, while others are nice and long. (Depending if I can get the checkpoints and progress paths working in some)

I do have a video of one of the levels, 6-A, is a desert themed level. I had to speed it up with a video editor due to such lag on DesMume.

On another note, this is a link to the video, but this video is before I speeded it up, so it's really laggy. But you can see the whole layout of the level. All 3 starcoins are shown, so spoilers!

This level is kind of a Wii based level. Here's the link to the video:
https://sendvid.com/v47qltyv

For the record. No. I do not have a youtube channel. Don't ask why.

The hack also includes a couple of remake levels from NSMB Wii and NSMB 2. I will not tell you which levels because spoilers. Just look out for them though when it's finished!

I also had a journal the whole entire way. I wrote every single level down as a list and crossed them off. One by one!

Anyway, thanks for the comment and questions, and enjoy the video!

You don't need to post a new thread. As far as I know you can just edit this one to add the screenshots.

Thanks for saying that! I would never knew you could edit posts and add screenshots after the post has been created.

Quick, dumb stupid question... How do you post screenshots? I tried and I couldn't figure it out.

Cool, you're including clones! Do a lot of levels have clones or are there only some? Or are clones exclusive to world 7? Also, will world 4 and 7 have to be unlocked, or can you just get them by beating W2 and W5?

The clones you see are exclusive to that haunted house stage. I played Clone Tag Team and thought it would be a good idea to include that as a haunted house gimmick. It's really difficult as avoiding certain death and it's also a puzzle. And world 4 and 7 will have to be unlocked normally with mini mario.

Uh, i think you should fix this. I mean, beat the world 3 to unlock world 4 it's a better idea...

I was going to leave it part original and part Newer, so the unlocking is part of the original. Also, I can't code XD

Ok. Make the minishroom easier on Castle 2 and Castle 5, though...

I changed the "unlocking with mini mushroom" part for world 4 and 7. Now they can only be accessed by the cannons.
W2 Cannon -> W4. W5 Cannon -> W7.
