Yay, I stopped procrastinating on the development of NSMB: Blasting off Again! But I came across a problem. To make the decorations I placed not have cutoffness, I needed to make a certain row of tiles 4 tiles wide. Above this row is a row of 3 item blocks. So it looks off, because an odd number of item blocks is placed above an even number of semisolid tiles.

But I've played NewerDS and some other hacks that placed tiles (usually coins) halfway on the grid, to make coin circles look better. How can I achieve this, since it would solve my problem. Probably some Map16 shenanigans, but how do I do this?

There's a coin object in the sprites tab (sprite 57 specifically), this coin can be decentered and placed in front of decorations. However, you cannot place decentered blocks and bricks, you could make duplicated blocks that are decentered in the Map16 tab, but it would look odd, they wouldn't work properly and they also wouldn't be animated. The most feasible solution would be just increasing the width of your platform, or place less blocks.

Yeah, I guess, since I will make custom tilesets anyway (the vanilla ones are a placeholder), I can make the grasslands tileset's blooming bushes and fences (or whatever will replace them since it'll be a beach tileset) loop every one instead of two tiles to fix the cutoffness and make the semisolid bridge 5 tiles wide.
Offtopic, but could you link the code hack you usec in TNW for the fourth warp pipe colour? I want to colour it to look like a clear pipe so I can use that one nearby jyotyu water.

I did not use a code hack for that, I just replaced some of the already existing pipe tiles with blue pipe graphics, more concretely, the "pipe-cross" tiles and the pipe joints, in addition to that, I would not recommend using jyotyu water since it'll make pipes look semitransparent, if you want to use jyotyu's water, you should add it to the tileset itself.

I wanted to abuse the transparency by making pipes that look like clear pipes. But adding tiles with water behaviour to the tileset is something I need to do anyway, since otherwise all water that isn't an actor has to be a geyser.
