the Mushroom Kingdom Haunting, everyone welcome!

egadd posses the moon?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?1/1/1/1/1/1

Jokes aside, that's a pretty miscellanious cast, but I guess that's what you were going for. Is it because I missed some sort of all-important misc. Mario game that I don't know who froggy the flower person is?

no i figured its just a fan game so I'de throw in a new race. Like there are mushrooms there are mushroom people. there are flowers but where are the flower people? it's peculiar for a race of fire people to live in a snowy cold place but there they resine in the middle of the ______ (snowy place) They live in a simpler time and seem to be going through what happend to the mushrom kingdom years ago when bowser first attacked only this time it's a dark race of boos and possesed followers. (like toad is the main mushroom person froggy is the main fireflower person -- workin on the name)

and i figured if egadd was secretly possessed by the final evil he could be a jeckal and hyde deal where egadd makes not only the good tolls and what not but the evil things as well so he play a vital role in the game invertenly... so there he is posing majestically in the moonlight

I meant to say this earlier but, the idea of Wario becoming so evil he turns good bugs me, mainly cuz Wario isn't really "evil" to begin with. He's just greedy. Not only that but it seems that if an evil ghost took over Wario and Wario became good, the ghost would leave.


I'd say the main bad guy stole some money from him or something but hey, thats just my two cents.

yo DOC the cyclops would be a cool idea using his eye as the big target or somthing but you have to get him to open his eye first. cool stuff.

SGG I was just throwing something out there. My first idea was something like the boos inhabit his whole money stash and kick him out of his own castle so he's bitter twards the boos and his only motivation to defeat them is jus tto have his cash back. I just figured maybe i'de try and do something diferent with wario. Like through his goodness his attack consist of shhoting diamonds or a machine gun coin shooter? instead of hording his money he uses it and by the end when he becomes bad again he's devestaded when he realizes he's givin away all his own money. heh.

anyways this is going to be a doosey. Here's a Mock HUD and Menu screen.
(the blank squares everywhere are where txt would go also I just used random sprites of the lab and characters for effect)

first you have the HUD

the defence or attack item equip screen

the start of the loading screen (doesn't actually needs to load i just figured it would look more authentic and it would take more then like 1 second to fake load)

under that is the e.gadd screen hooked directly to e.gadd's lab

beside that is egadd explain an enemy while, above that, the text of what he's saying is being display above the playing characters

then below that is the character info screens



A Boo Shield Meter When the meter reaches a total black, 0, you either
pass out and it's game over (if the final hit is
delivered from a non-ghost enemy) or your spirit fades
into the 'Ghoul's Keep' (if the final hit is delivered from
a ghoul boo enemy)

B Boo Power Meter Shows the amount of ghost energy sucked up. Each
level can be split up into a smaller amounts.

C Suction Meter Hold R to use suction. When the meter reaches
the bottom or you just stop holding R the suction
stops and it takes a few seconds or longer
depending on how far down the meter went
to fill back up.

D Selected Special Attack Hold X to select a special attack &
release it to use the attack. If X is just tapped
the special attack already selected is used.

E Special Attack Name --

F Special Attack Power Value Shows the amount of Boo Power needed for that
specific attack.

G 2nd Party Member Name & Shield Meter (Press L to switch through your party of three)

H 1st Party Member Name & Shield Meter (Press L to switch through your party of three)

I Defense Equip The Equipped defense type item set to a specific
character.

J Attack Equip The Equipped attack type item set to a specific
character.

K Item Storage The items set to a certain character through the
menu/item equip screen.

L Item Name --

M Selected Item Hold A to select an item & release it to use the
item. If A is just tapped the item already selected
is used.

N Spirit Level ...

O Remaining Spirit to Next Level ...

P Character Name ...

Q Misc Other Boo Powers Different types of Boos sucked in show up as different
colors to differentiate the types.

Basic Attacks:

You use a basic attack if you don't have a specific attack item equipped.
When you use the basic attack by pressing Y it uses a small portion of
one Boo Power Meter section not a full piece. Depending on the type
of boo you have sucked in, that's the type of attack that is propelled out
If an attack item is equipped such as "the Boo Basher" a ghost crushing
hammer, when Y is pressed instead of a basic boo energy shot it's
reverted to the Boo Basher, a portion of the Boo Power needed for the
attack is taken and the character performs a different attack then the
basic ghost power shot. Attack equips are not only useful as a more
powerful attack but sometimes attack equips can do things that a normal
attack can't. The attack equips don't always have to be a physical attacks
sometimes the attack equips can be an upgrade on the basic attack.

just some rough notes and what not. tell me what you think

That's quite awesome.

Do you plan on making it a game in ML3 style, or is the sprites just to show what you meant?

i like the style of M&L3 but i was thinking in a sidescroller way if this ends up as a game.

This looks like it's going to be a pain to make, are you any good at programming or are you just hiring somebody for that?

I'm just working on an idea i don't really know if we'll put a game together.

here's how i saw the sidescroller M&L style. just a few edits here and there.

God I REALLY want to turn this into a game




EDIT: go on msn please

I was looking through your sketches and your latest one(where it's like game cover art, which is awesome btw) and I'm gonna start working on the new style. I know what Luigi's poltergust should look like and whatnot.


Btw note: animations will be ridiculous. I'm gonna try to make them show ALOT of movement if I can.

EDIT:
Go crazy

I based Luigi off of the official M&L artwork. Also, this is a custom sprite and style. If someone says I edited the M&L:BIS Luigi, I will have to pimp slap them. :P Not sure whether it should still have the grey outer AA or not. Yall decide on that.

Make the pupils a little bit bigger, and make the clothes a bit greener
Other then that, I love it! And I'm not sure either about if it should have AA or not.

EDIT: Like this
You can probably do it better but you get what I mean.

Introducing, BOOpers.
A ghostly squid who haunts the seas and shores by wiggling around.

Normal Boopers move swift and fast, when looked at it protects it self by squirting
ink which the player might slip on.

Chubby Boopers move sluggish and slow, they also squirt ink when looked at
the ink comes out like a hose which slows the player down

The mini boopers move so fast which almost is unseen by play, when looked at,
they squirt ink so fast it manages to fling the player far enough.

You don't like the edits star? i was thinking we could just build off that? not to say i don't like yours i just like the smaller luigi but i'm always willing to change. I made a few little edits. I gave luigi eye brows and put his feet together. What do you think?



PS: I say take out the grey AA. if were going diferent we might as well.

Yak, love the bloopers and the ink slowing characters down fits quite well in an rpg. slowing down could prevent a character from dodging a attack... I loves it.

just stuff.

Legs seem a bit to stiff. Also, maybe have thel ower area of the pants (just above the shows) go out a bit? Right now they look like tubes. Also, the general face look odd imo, especially the eyes.

how does one slip on ink in the water?


I like the ink thing, but rather how about, it clouds itself in ink, when the ink fades away it's vanished?
Goes with the ghostie part.
As for the speeds, I'd say tone that down, we don't need no super-fast tiny monsters tapping the player for the same amount of damage a slow big monster woulda done. that and ink knockback underwater sounds pretty silly too :V

just keep in at a one size thing imo,

if you want a big ghost blooper
maybe something like my old dry blooper would work :V


just tootin' my own horn tho


in fact when I think about it in motion, I could see luigi pulling the mouth/nose thing and as he does each time a tentacle gets pulled in towards the body until luigi pulls far enough and the tentacle shatters, pretty much each one is attached to the mouth as you pull it.

Say thats pretty good Mecha.

With some modifications, that would be perfect as a desert boss. Y'know one that just rises out of the sand...

Shy I don’t know what odd Imo means but I thought I did a nice job on the face, though star’s still seems to draw me back. It has a lot of life but I’m not a fan of his legs. They looks stiff to me. Is it the eye brows?

You’ve never slipped on ink underwater before Mech? Heh. I love that dry blooper. Sweet idea too. Mind if I mess with it a bit?

As far as the face goes, it's mainly the pupils and the ears. The pupils look like cat eyes or something and the ears look like Zelda ears. As for the legs, it's like I said, they go straight down from the body to the shoes. They look like pipes or something.


Also, i just noticed, the general shape of his stache looks off.
