New Super Mario Bros. 3 [Final Trailer of Version 2.0] by SKJmin

Hello together!
I finally have finished my next revision of my game!

==========================

Note: Please watch this trailer in HD!
(some screens got frameerrors... emu is pretty lame!^^)

Changes:
(I only count the MAJOR things)

Game got a new laquering:
Almost every level sets were replaced by better and newer looking ones!
Took me ages to draw them and import them in the end!

- Advanced/expanded levels:
The old game had exactly 298,823 blocks*!
The new one has "almost" the double of them! 512,124!
(PS: New Super Mario Bros. DS = ~220.000)

- New backgrounds:
I've changed some of the backgrounds in the game!
I couldn't change some of them because of the mighty "Nintendo--bridge"-protection!
It would corrupt the most sounds in the game!
The airship levels are still IN the castle... sorry cannot be fixed now!

- A huge load of new bonusrooms:
Yeah, I think it's the most exciting update!

- 84 new bonusgrooms in total:
That means that almost every level got at least 1 more bonusroom!
And that means, that the star coins have to be searched more and more!
I've put a lot of new secrets and puzzles!
You won't be dissapointed!

- More special guests:
Not much to say, our old retro videogame friends came to visit the Mushroom Land!
You can find exactly 30 cameos now!

They're hidden pretty nice :)
Finding them will maybe cost your last nerves...

- New FINAL CASTLE:
As you can see, I made a complete new FINAL CASTLE!
The old was almost unbeatable!

The new one has 2 routes now!
The main (normal) route and the sepcial (hard) route!

To solve the hard one, you only need to beat the A-B-C levels (pretty hard imo^^)
When you can really finish the secret course, you will be awarded with.... (see next part)

Some feedback is wished!
Feel free to make advertisments to this great hack!
I will also work on 3.0 now!

Grertz and have fun!

Brings me back memories seeing this video

[AlphaOmegaSin]

extra kickass job on this, definitely digging it

[SKJmin]

Let's say...
ALL SMB3 levels are included!
On top of that, you're gonna find each course expanded!

That means each level has additional areas which cannot be found on the original SMB3!

But I'm gonna warn you, the Star Coins in my game are hidden pretty well!
Not comparable with NSMB DS // NSMB WII // Super Mario 3D Land!! Promise :)

[rapzim]

thanks! i hope all enjoy the new patch. Awesome job SKJmin!!! You're the best! =)

[Darkraham]

I like that after you beat the final castle through the main door. You can save the game. It's more confortable to search the stars coins and secret exits.

[zowayix]

Just finished World 1. The hack's difficulty level so far is great.
My favorite aspect is the way that you put some Star Coins so that they're clearly visible but difficult to obtain. I've found 8 Star Coins so far, and know the locations of another 4 but can't get to them.

Are you going to make walkthrough videos like you did for v1.0 before this update?

[bigmarkdarula]

you did an insane job, can't imagine the work you put into

[SKJmin]

thanks for crediting me, im glad to have contributed to such a great hack, really pushes the potential of the nsmb engine.

[SKJmin]

First of all thanks for the support^^ I'm honored!

No to the synchro thing:
Get Desmume emulator! Record your playthrough (not AVI, just " movierecord")
After saving the record, you can easily watch your it!
(The movie JUST records the buttons you have pressed...)
I playbacked my movie ine the OLD version and recorded! (with Camtasia)
Then I playbacked the same file on the NEW version (with those advanced graphics) and recorded too!

Thast's all :)

PS: Look at 05:23

[matureelevator]

The Chaos Engine theme plays at the beginning

[AshuRawRun]

Insane work man, really you got all my respect!

[SKJmin]

The second oin is exactly there where the entrance to the WATER section is!
Where 6 jumping blocks are (single room) Just at the top is a yellow pipe, hard to miss^^

And the secret course is one of the hardest secrets in the game!
I cant tell it to you, just look at the arrows and follow them^^

[zowayix]

I just found a weird glitch in 7-Castle that I can't replicate.

On the way to the bottom left most [?] Switch in the last room (before the boss), I was Super Mario and suddenly died instantly for no apparent reason. The only thing in the game capable of killing Super Mario with that same animation is a time up, but I had 38X units left on the timer. I was standing on the green moving platform, touching it below me and to my left, just a little bit above and to the right of the [?] Switch.

[iLikeTheUDK]

Did you make that?!
I don't know how to make levels for DS games. And it looks really good.
Have you considered mapping for any Unreal game?
or remaking one of the older games?
Anyway, looks like you really do it good.

[reklrekl]

Very nice. This is the reason why I buyed a DS Flashcard, and Playing on emulator sucks. How long did it took you to finish this (with version 1)?

[MrBaskfreak]

SKJmin you are the greates dude respect *grins*

[JutmanCustoms]

As an avid oldskool lover of all things Mario I am always pleased with fan made games/hacks. This little beauty looks truly outstanding! Great Job! Tell me, when I download this do I play on PC or DS via R4(?) (would be super sick if it worked on DreamSNES!)

[SKJmin]

I've released the 2.0b

Changes:
changed a name in the credits screen!

[earlyonsettinnitus]

thx SKJmin! :) the new version rocks!!!
