Drack Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 As far as mario hacks go, I thoroughly enjoyed "Super Demo World" It's not an extreme difficulty hack, it can be beaten without savestates (I've 100%'d it without cheating), but it's definitely several notches harder than the original SMW. The creater of SDW released a SMW rom editing app. This is why there are so many SMW hacks out there. It's called Lunar Magic. Also, Super Demo World implemented a lot of Assembler hacks that allowed the greation of new blocks and backgrounds and powerups. A few examples are Goomba Blocks (Blocks mario can't pass through but enemies walk through), a pyramid level (SMB3 style), Ice blocks that you destroy with fireballs, SMB3 style pipes (there's a highly reminiscent pipe maze level), small pipes only small mario can go through, fire cannons (like the ones in SMB3 airships and New SMB's final castle (this came out way before NSMB). It's a really neat hack that I heartily recommend. It's in English too. Also, so no one misses out on the hardest levels in the game (extra levels spoiler) -> There is a second exit in Bowser's Castle, leading to a whole new area. Access it through ducking under a small space in the castle, then unducking. You'll slide through the wall. Here's a vid: <- SpoilerAlso, so no one screws themself, when you do the star road, beat the levels the normal exit BEFORE you do the keyhole exit. The normal exit opens the path to the next level, the keyhole exit turns the level into a warp star out of star road. Here's an example level: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMQJCpW1fSw and a ridiciculous Star Road level, TAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-n-j-i-n Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 The others are fellow goons. What did you expect?Also, the one triad linked isn't tool assisted, so you get to see someone actually complete this by trial and (a lot of) error. I'm sorry, I'm not an SA goon or whatever but found that video to be the best. I love actual human reaction in my videos for one. And you're making it sound like there weren't hundreds of trial and error in those videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

q-pa Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hey is anyone having problems running the program under Windows XP SP2? It always tells me it's configured wrong and to try reinstalling it. Edit: Yeah, Drack, Super Demo World is the shit. Hard, but fun and creative as hell. Me: I'm permanently stuck on the Backdoor Star World level where you have to fly through the spikes and saws and stuff. Is there *any* way through that??

Brithor Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I finished yesterday in like half an hour with -313 lives. All that for a goddamn melon? I have to say it was a fun little game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I love these games to death, but I haven't had the time to try them yet. But I agree that Super Demo World is a CLASSIC. Possibly better designed than most SMW levels. Actually, most of these mods are almost universally better than the old versions, except for the times when they mess up the physics (like demo world) a bit.

DarkAura Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 He calls it "Cat Mario." He did a playthrough of the game, no tool assistance, and live commentary throughout the playthrough, lasting for 6 videos. Quite funny, most of it.

Try figuring out the way to get to the watermelon without looking at any guides... damn, took me like 100 more lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybell Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 THE CLOUDS KILL YOU WHAT IS THAT I beat this game, but I had to look up two things. One being killing the robot with the shell, and the other being getting the melon. They are just ridiculously absurd and if you figured those out on your own you are a danger to those around you.

The Legendary Zoltan Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I've got JUST the thing to add to this thread. Automated Mario levels. I think they use the slide physics a lot because in some videos Mario's feet look so dang slippery. Enjoy. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Numbers 5, 7, and 8 are so amazing! It must have taken a long time to make art like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uthlu Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Beat this after an hour or so...only had to look up the melon cause I didn't know if the chicken part was the end or not...wouldn't have put it past these guys if it was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imagist Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Automated Mario is awesome. They really do abuse the physics in their hack, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltstarfire Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 So does anyone know what the music is for the second level of the cat mario things? It's kind of catchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealFolkBlues Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Yeah, one of those automated Mario levels (the Big Boo one) was posted in the Internet Videos thread. Fairly freaking awesome. I still think all of these hacks need to be applied to Super Mario 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I posted this in the Incredible Internet Videos thread, but I wonder if the maker is the same as the automated mario ones: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DFyKGKhfRIg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Well it is automated, but it isn't the same as any of the ones I posted, so cool. I like how this one had items involved and random shell kicking and stuff. But I feel like this one cheats by making the yellow exclamation blocks thrust you forward.

dish Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 So does anyone know what the music is for the second level of the cat mario things? It's kind of catchy. It's the BGM from NES game called Spelunker. (There is a recent OLRemix project on the game if you are interested.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltstarfire Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'll definitely be looking out for it. If I don't completely forget before the end of the day anyway. Edit: Meh, it didn't have the song that was used in the second level for the cat mario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDKenyon Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I got halfway through the second level before I broke into tears. Real men cry because of video games. Fun shit, dude EDIT: Is there any way to get past the part immediately after the cat bowser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steben Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Real men cry because of video games.Fun shit, dude EDIT: Is there any way to get past the part immediately after the cat bowser? Short answer: yes. Long answer: Use an enemy with the help of a hazard to give yourself a boost onto the roof of the stage, right before the 3 ? blocks at the end.
