Hey there! Some people might remember me as Tob from back in the day (I lost my log-in information unfortunately). I've recently found an old NSMBDS rom on my computer that I apperantly began working on a year ago. I've picked it back up now and some progress is happening! I don't have any big ideas or even a title for this yet, but I figured making a thread to keep track of progress would still be a good idea.

Something I want to have consistent throughout the entire hack is slight modifications of the original games assets, most notably in the tilesets. You can surely spot some differences in the screenshots below.









As progress on this continues I will try keeping this thread updated with any new post. I may even come up with a name at some point or maybe won't ever work on it again after posting this thread, who knows!

Oh hi  Tob. I remember you. Can't say I expected to ever see you again, though. This looks really neat, though.

The backgrounds and the graphic design look very cool. I think you should keep working on that

Thanks you two!
I am bringing a small progress update today. The first 2 levels of this have been finished! Namely 1-2 and 1-3. You can find a very outdated Video of 1-3 in action here. The level has gotten some changes since the time of recording (The 2nd Starcoin was moved to a bonus area accessible with a vine, the graphics of the noteblocks have been greatly improved and multiple sections were tweaked and adjusted). Furthermore I have added extra detail to my grass tileset by adding the small purple flowers that can also be found on the worldmap.



Lastly here are a few screenshots showing the new things I mentioned in action:


New noteblock graphics!


Level 1-4 will revolve around scrolling pipes leading to little secrets and bonuses.

It looks good, like a prettier version of the original. I loved the detail of Mario's clothes. I think it's very good in general.

Tob, this is working very well, it is a hack in which I do not complain about anything although I have not tried it, keep up the good work my friend, Tob is a good graphics designer that leaves you speechless just like me also

*applause*

Thanks both of you!

I finished 1-4 earlier today and also uploaded a video of it. Feel free to take a look!
I'll be doing the final tweaks to this in the coming days but overall I am pretty happy with how this one turned out.

It looks very original with the mix of connected pipes and pipe cannons. Keep up the good work
