That glitch is known and will be corrected in a future bugfix. Thanks for sharing, though.

I think World 4 onwards is where this hack really picks up. World 4 is one of my personal favourites in CTT2.

By the way, World 4-2 is known as Ninji Cave, yet there are no Ninjis at all in this hack. What's the significance of the name?

So here's something. Hack #4 will most likely be coming out this year but you haven't seen anything yet! Might as well show you something.

So here it is. The very first screenshot of Hack #4 for you to enjoy:

Thanks!

I've tried to keep myself busy. There was a time after making NSMB2 and all the attention turned to SKJmin that I was thinking about leaving, which is probably why I never finished my SMB3 remake or my SM64 hack.

I think Clone Tag Team was the main reason I kept going. It was a crazy concept, but it was just what I needed to do to prove to myself that I am capable of making some fun, decent-quality custom content. But here's the real kicker- Clone Tag Team 1 was inspired by New Super Hacker Bros.! That's what rejuvenated my passion for making custom levels, and from then on I tried to take some inspiration from yours and ray's level design.

So for now there's nothing stopping me from continuing. Right now, I don't have any plans for a sixth hack but that's mostly because I know it would be so far away it's probably too ambitious to think about.

Endless Earth does have some ASM hacking involved, but that's not the core of the project. Skawo has patched some of his released ASM hacks to a ROM for me because I'm a derp, though I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of doing ASM on my own.

Bumping this thread because of an update.



Here's a Download Link to the new updates:

And a changelog:

1-2: You can no longer be pushed through the ceiling by moving platforms.
1-Tower: Fixed a camera issue with the Secret Exit.
2-2: You can no longer get stuck by jumping over the ceiling of the cave. Values of Star Coins 1 and 2 have been swapped accordingly.
2-4: Getting to the Secret Exit with Mario will no longer cause a Time Up instadeath.
2-Castle: A third Clone no longer spawns if you linger near the exit from the first Sky Area, fixes random instadeaths and audio errors.
2-A: Tile misplacement corrections, small change in level design with how Star Coin 1 is acquired.
5-Tower: You can no longer be pushed through the ceiling with Mini Mario.
Patch have been changed to .xdelta for Mac users. This also allows more advanced ROM modifications for future updates.

I have a question for anyone who's still following this thread.

I'm getting closer to reaching the end of development on Hack #4, but as it turns out, I'm a single Tower level short of a full remake.

So does anybody have any suggestions for any of their favourite Fortress-style levels they want put in the hack? I want it to remain consistent with the flare of the rest of the hack so it's going to be hard to find one that I like. So if you do have any suggestions please post them, regardless of whether you think it's going to be useful to me at all. You should know though that this particular level can only have one main area with the other being the Boss room.

And by the way, I've got some very special plans for a level in World 7 I hope people will get excited about. Let's just say that it's worth "300".

Hmm, maybe a level where things are falling and you need to avoid them? Like the spiked balls, idk.

Sorry, I should clarify.

I mean a remake of a castle/tower/fortress level from a past Mario game. I was thinking about maybe bringing in something from Super Mario Advance 4's e-reader levels but there was nothing there to my particular taste. It could be from any Mario game, not just the main series. For example, it could be something from Yoshi's Island. But I'll just have to wait and see if I get any suggestions that can fit.

I would make an original level, but it would mess with my planned layout of having the A, B and C levels as originals while the others are remade levels. Plus I'm lazy.

Upon reflection, I probably could use Coro Coro Castle. I can just change the Flurries to Snailicorns or something.
