QUESTION: Is the name "Watery" taken???? I'm so confused; some people are saying I stole a hack name????
Watery Super Mario Bros. U is my first rom hack ever! All level design, music, etc. is by me!

- Two worlds or 17 new levels to play.
- Beach and Underwater themed courses
- Plenty of new Star coins and secrets
- Mario music from other games
- Custom title screen and map (maybe)


Videos:
1-3 Showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4Dk8pKaMKw
Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf8Q5tgNjMFfGuuA8WeyI5A?view_as=subscriber


The hack will probably be released sometime 2021
A demo will be released when 1-Castle is completed.

Current Progress:
W1 - 62.5% - 5/8 Levels Complete
W2 - 0% - 0/9 Levels Complete

Overall Progress:
29.4% - 5/17 Levels Complete

Level 1 is way to vertical for a beach level and is a bit weird for a first level. The visuals are also a bit tacky, with it starting out with grassland tiles and the general lack of decoration. Level 2 is a lot better, though I think you should do something more visually interesting for the sky bonus area.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm fixing the grassland tiles on 1-1 (I'm really new to this and I didn't know how to add the beach tileset by then lol). I tried keeping it to the theme of geysers an that's why it's a bit vertical. I'll be sure to add more decoration. I'll also work on the sky area as well.

Judging by the video, the level design is very weird and doesn't have a good flow. The music is pretty good though

I redid the entire level 1-1 so it should be better now. (I don't know if this is how you reply to someone directly. Forgive me if it isn't.)

Yeah, that looks a lot better. However, the floating coins look out of place and I think you should use some kind of underground or solid beach tileset for the water section with the clam, and maybe add a zoom out or move the floor so the screen doesn't scroll. Also, probably put a warp zone at the bottom of that sky area in case someone with a mini mushroom falls through. Besides all that looks really solid. Also, people usually use quotes to reply.

What exactly do you mean by adding a zoom out so the screen doesn't scroll?
