Hello everyone,

Some people asked me how to create a Star Coin selection screen like this:



So I am going to show you step by step how to create your own.
Let's get into it.

Step 1.
At first you create a view of 272x192. This is the size of the height and width of the screen.



Step 2.
Create a small box of 5x5 and put it right under the view at the the centre.


Step 3.
Create 3 arrows made out of Tile God sprites (Tile creator/destroyer).
Each arrow has it's own sprite data.
The sprite data for each arrow is listed down below.

Tile God arrow 1 sprite data: 01 00 00 00 11 00
Tile God arrow 2 sprite data: 02 00 00 00 11 00
Tile God arrow 3 sprite data: 03 00 00 00 11 00



Step 4.
Put down 3 switches inside the box upside down, this is the area where you controll Mario/Luigi and where you decide to which area they warp to.
The sprite data of each Switch is listed down below.

Switch 1 Sprite data: 00 2F 00 10 02 01
Switch 2 Sprite data: 00 30 00 10 02 01
Switch 3 Sprite data: 00 31 00 10 02 01



Step 5.
Put down 3 warp sprites.
The sprite data for each Warp sprite is listed down below,

Warp zone 1 sprite data: 2F 00 00 08 00 11
Warp zone 2 sprite data: 30 00 00 08 00 12
Warp zone 3 sprite data: 31 00 00 08 00 13



Step 6.
Create 3 Zones. Each Zone has a size of 16x48. Put these zones over the Warp sprites.



Step 7.
Put down 3 times the Event Controller-If uses zones sprite above the view wherever suitable.
The sprite data for each Event Controller is listen down below.

Event Controller 1 - connected to zone 1 sprite data: 00 01 01 00 00 20
Event Controller 2 - connected to zone 2 sprite data: 00 02 02 00 00 20
Event Controller 3 - connected to zone 3 sprite data: 00 03 03 00 00 20



Step 8.
Select the player enterance and put it right into the centre of the 5x5 box.



Step 9.
Put down 3 Star Coin sprites 1 tile under the arrows.
The sprite data of the Star Coins has been listed down below.

Star Coin 1 Sprite data: 00 00 00 00 00 10
Star Coin 2 Sprite data: 00 00 00 00 01 10
Star Coin 2 Sprite data: 00 00 00 00 02 10

Can anyone guess how I did it? It's pretty simple actually lol. (no particles, smooth animation, works)

(Star model is by Wesley, gave it to me for testing this thing out only)

Rotating Triangle Lift sprite maybe?

Ah, you got it. Good job lol. It's a background which says Select the Mission which I'll reposition slightly, and the arrow is a compeltely black textured Rotating Triangle Lift.

Anther tip:

Insteand of retexture the Rotating Triangle Lift, you can use this!
So, you can use the Lift, too.

Wesley, you did a great tutorial.
