SMW Hacks are NOT original, small swear warning; tl;dr version added

so me and a friend were discussing about super mario world hacking when ideas came up, one being the fire flower being changed to create those throw blocks that explode and then

<Sparks> http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s60/Spa...rap/smwtoad.png
<Sparks> behold my sucky toad
<Rathe> it's pretty good
<Sparks> I might design an original character though
<Sparks> and get a friend to help with the block idea
<Sparks> <drawing I forgot to save>
<Sparks> what kind of character would go around kicking and throwing blocks though
<Rathe> Lolo
<Sparks> take my advice
<Sparks> NEVER
<Sparks> look up lolo on google
<Rathe> I'm going to do that
<Sparks> you'll regret it
<Sparks> trust me
<Rathe> <drawing I forgot to save>
<Sparks> <drawing I forgot to save>
<Sparks> cinos the smw hack game of awesomeness
<Rathe> how is it that you draw such smooth lines
<weird mouse discussion>
<Sparks> <drawing I forgot to save>
<Sparks> generic design 101
<Rathe> <drawing I forgot to save>
<Sparks> wait wait
<Sparks> what if the blocks are pizza blocks
<Sparks> and the character
<Sparks> is a pizza man
<Sparks> then again
<Rathe> that's actually awesome
<Sparks> whats the appeal in a pizza man
<Rathe> that's damn awesome
<Rathe> I don't know
<Rathe> but that is a great concept
<Sparks> it is but would it keep your attention
<Sparks> eventually I'd begin to think
<Sparks> "ok he throws pizza boxes at enemies and they die...?"
<Sparks> the blocks would be the exploding block things
<Sparks> so no pizza man
<Sparks> needs to be a neat magical type character
<Rathe> the pizza man idea is so original and awesome though
<Rathe> magical characters have been done to death
<Rathe> I love the idea of average characters in a surreal world
<Sparks> <drawing I forgot to save>
<Rathe> yes
<Rathe> that is great
<Rathe> Why do you think people love EarthBound so much
<Sparks> I'll see what others think Want a generic pizza guy to have appeal and be funny and cool too
<Sparks> and find a way that his blocks of pizza or whatever blow up like bombs
<Rathe> I'll look around swmc when it comes back up and see if I can't help you out with that last one
<Sparks> concept wise not hacking wise
<Sparks> I know a guy who could help me with that
<Sparks> he does crazy **** to ROMs
<Sparks> maybe the pizzas are so hot
<Sparks> they explode
<Sparks> you must save your girlfriend coworker from the evil (insert other franchise) and the 7 mascots
<Rathe> how about
<Rathe> you must deliver a pizza to some guy but he is determined to get a discount
<Rathe> going as far as to fill the land with monsters in order to make you late
<Sparks> wait
<Sparks> what if we combined the ideas
<Rathe> yes
<Sparks> the competition tries to make you lose profit by ordering from you, steals your girlfriend and sends 7 ugly mascots to block your long quest to deliver the pizza on time
<Rathe> that is a great plot
<Sparks> each castle is a creepy resturant fast food joint made to kill you
<Rathe> this is most likely be the most original smw hack idea ever
<Sparks> by george I think I've done it
<Sparks> well
<Sparks> you helped too


(didnt change block design to give idea of the concept)

tl;dr version:
pizza guy throws hot pizza blocks at enemies and has to deliver a pizza to an evil franchise that stole his girlfriend on time and defeat the seven mascots all in one mario world hack

so cool idea or lame idea

go for it

also suggestions would be cool

The levels should be types of pizzas, but appropriate according to the place. So a desert island is Hawaiian, the boss castles are Meat Supremes, etc.

Also Yoshi is a scooter.

oh hey i had an idea like this awhile ago
do it

Each level is a mystical land place

each castle is themed to a gothic freaky version of some sort of franchise


one of the doodles included Wendy Koopa being replaced by Ronald McDonald



I like the scooter idea


and I was thinking the levels would be SMB2 style rather than SMB3/SMW style unlike most hacks

I think I've seen those Toads before... sprite theft?

I posted them in the WIP topic recently

I made them ages ago though so you might of seen them posted somewhere else and they're edits of the SMA Toad


but I recall making my own sprites

that is the most amazing SMW hack idea i have ever heard in my life

btw i'll help you with this if you want

hmm

EDIT: More on topic - the hack sounds like a good idea.

the SMA toad is a reshading of that one basically


and I'm having a tough time spriting the pizza guy to work with SMW poses ffff

i could probally do some unshaded stuff for you to work on

/Done.

yeah that'd help


probably gonna request a move to fangame or art forum once things get picked up but for now ccc
