World J: The Warped Void Music: “Main Menu”, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! “It’s just an empty void”. What a great ’scuse to not put any effort into map graphics, like I did throughout this whole hack. The only interesting part is how a lot o’ the level tiles are ?s, making the player figure out […]
We’re going to skip the world intros, since we’ll be jumping round rather erratically & they’re getting ol’. Bootropolis ( revisited ) Music: “Shy Guy’s Toy Box”, Paper Mario Probably should’ve done this back when I did the regular exit, but forgot that its “prize” was so inconsequential. You’ll see what I thought it unlocked […]
World E: Deserted Skies Lab of the Mirage ( revisited ) Music: “Revenge of Meta Knight – Halbert”, Kirby Super Star Yes, e’en this world’s lab’s secret exit involves flying. The reason for my clumsy playing is that I just started using a real SNES controller & was getting used to it. P-Switch level count: […]
World A: Valley o’ Bowser’s ( revisited ) ¿Have I mentioned that I loved making you go back to the start @ the end ( well, the end o’ the main game )? King Koopa Kastle ( revisited ) Sorry the video’s so long. I forgot to edit some parts @ the beginning, such as […]
Highway to Hell ( revisited ) Music: “Dark Cave”, Pokémon Gold, Silver, & Crystal A’least the secret exit is rather clever. Here we see the importance o’ being able to take Yoshi from level to level, which is usually considered bad design in Super Mario World hacks: some exits require it. You’d think that since […]
World C: Shroom City Mainland ( revisited ) 3 mo’ levels from this disparate “world”. Piranha Trap Pass ( revisited ) Music: “Overworld”, New Super Mario Bros. As expected, the secret exit that clearly leads to that wide space on the left side o’ the map to the left is on the left side o’ […]
1 odd part ’bout the Yellow Switch is that, ’cept for the 1st level, it’s much easier to get than the Red Switch, e’en though my “canonical” sequence ( & as I mentioned in the intro, once a mandatory sequence till I came to my senses ) had the Red Switch before the Yellow Switch […]
( Note: an idea I unfortunately hadn’t thought o’ implementing till now: each level’s music, most o’ which is custom [ stolen from SMW Central, adaptations o’ songs from real games ], as well as the game it’s originally from & whether or not it’s a spot-on adaption [ labelled “same” ]. I’ve also gone […]
( Note: went back & added music notes to each level analysis. ) It’s hard to divide Legend of the Four Switches into “worlds”, since, as I mentioned in the intro, they sometimes blend into each other. Mo’ importantly, the main path I’ll be going through will leave & return to worlds. However, I’ll try […]
Since I’m writing ’bout some dumb game I’m making now, I might as well write ’bout an e’en dumber game I worked on way back in high school — & by “dumber game”, I mean a Super Mario World rom hack. Also, I just realized that it’s been 10 years since I 1st started working […]
