UPDATE : beta 4 available





Hi everyone, I'm maybe new to this forum but not necessarily in hacking.
Anyway I present my hack, New Super Mario Bros For Super Players (NSMBFSP to make it short).


Why the acronym For Super Players ?
_Well I was in a dire need to find a name for my hack, I knew that the japanese version of Super Mario Bros 2 (the real one) got renamed Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels when it got internationally released on Super Mario All-Stars (SMAS), oh crap NSMB The Lost Levels was already taken, hmm...
But then I remembered the japanese version of SMAS (called Super Mario Collection btw), and that SMB2 got renamed Super Mario Bros 2 For Super Players.
You can say that this hack aims to be to NSMB what SMB2 was to SMB (and no NSMB2 doesn't count).


24/80 levels done :


Some screenshots to see the overall look of my hack.


Some videos as well, because why not ?


Hack's features :
_Addition of a 4th pipe color (blue, glitch-free);
_End-of-level castle are now in NSMBWii / post NSMBWii style;
_Grey End-of-level castle for secret exits (with correct behavior to boot);
_Mini-mushroom / Blue shell / Mega-mushroom / Spring spawned from Brick Block;
_Mega-mushroom spawned from Invisible Block;
_Spinning Logs were completely revamped;
_Sprites/Objects that synergize well with each other AND team up well against Mario/Luigi (think for example of a level filled with Scale Platforms and ... Sledge Bros !)

Download patch (EUR, not US)

NOTES :
Initially I wanted to make the hack public only when it would be fully finished, but I eventually realized that I was dragging this for too long so I'm releasing a beta now.
All tilesets and backgrounds in this hack are free for use.

CREDITS (you'll see, I'm NOT good with giving credits):
Dirbaio, Treeki (and everyone who participated / is still participating) for NSMB editor, me for the levels.

Dont worry about using NSMBW tilesets Your level design is good. (the castle level was awesome BTW)
My only complaints are the grassland dark tileset, because it looks odd, and the underground level feeling empty.

Well sorry for the graphics, originally I planned to keep the graphics as-is, but I know the trigger that make me fell into the trap, it was because I found the mushroom platforms (sky levels) not so pretty , so yes I am a little weak here lol.

And thanks for the feedback.

Good job! I liked the honey thing from the 7th screenshot. (SMG2, isn't it?)
Also, I've never seen hacks with that black and white panels of the first level.
And your level design is great. This will be a great hack once finished.

CSMB is cancelled. Instead, I'll be doing a mini hack soon.

So... Hi and welcome to the forum!

This hack looks GREAT. From watching the video, I can tell you have some great original ideas. I'll definitely play it sometime soon and come back with some feedback.

Nice hack, I like the animation of coin and the background in the 8th screenshot
Good work for this project

Thank you all for the nice feedback, I'll try to not disappoint then

I finished level 2-3, but I'll update to beta 2 only when all World 2 is done, so for the time being here is a screenshot so you have an idea of the layout.





EDIT :
I'm finished with level 2-6 as well, only 3 more to go and beta 2 will be available.
(Credits to  ray for the sand waterfall idea)

W0W! Your hack looks so amazing!!

Gotta agree with KingYoshi, its does looks really awesome and cool!

Beta 2 is uploaded :
Not anymore

The same hack but with World 2 complete

I updated the first post to reflect the change.

Some pictures of course:


As well as a trailer of sorts

OMG! I cant believe this hack is... PERFECT

That looks really good!

Took down the link for now, see the first post as to why.

Should work fine as of now.
... Or so I thought, it's still not good, argh!

cool hack!

There's still another problem, everytime a ROM is patched the jyotyu tileset FREAKIN' reset its tiles behaviors to default, every time; problem is it kinda... breaks the game as the blue pipe no longer works and is needed to get some secrets...

So I decided to switch versions and work on EUR version as of now, which means that US version is now discontinued.

EUR version works, but even then it only works if it's patched via xdelta, a nmp. patch will still break the game like the US version.

Here is the link: http://nsmbhd.net/get.php?id=1313

This is the version 3, still 2 complete worlds, no new levels but some graphics were rehauled.











I really hope this time there won't be anymore problems lol.

Nice grassland tileset

Hmm, I still cannot patch my rom, tried both US and EUR version and xDelta does not accept the patch
