To avoid it looking so bad, I remade the Mario character on the map in a larger size, SMB3 style

Super Mario Bros. 2 | Game Boy Edition

Before Vs After
(this new design will be in the beta)

[grand lintel]

6 sprites in a row, huh.

that might cause problems

[storm osprey]

6?

There are only 3 palettes

[grand lintel]

yes

that ends up being 6 8x16 sprites

[storm osprey]

??? explain to me

[grand lintel]

you can have a maximum of 10 sprites in a row. each sprite is 8 pixels wide and can have three colors. you can stack these, but that doesn't decrease the sprites in a row

[storm osprey]

o

Well, it'll stay true to the original; SMB2 also had sprite flickering from time to time, haha

[storm osprey]

Note: I'm switching to just 2 palettes

[sonic gull]

Oh wow!

Great progress!

[sonic gull]

This shit is boutta be fire 😼

[sonic gull]

@storm osprey what happened

Where is it at

[storm osprey]

The new share of the credits is made by...
@cunning bone!
Thank you so much for contributing to our project!

[storm osprey]

Tonight I'm going to work with boost ⚡⚡

[sonic gull]

Wowza

[limpid maple]

need any help with sprites?

[storm osprey]

No, my biggest problem right now is the script of enemies

Otherwise, I think everything is ready

[smoky yacht]

Do you still need music? I'm still working on my SMB2DX and I made some songs for it in the process. The two tracks I made so far are the character select and overworld themes.

Overworld may need some tweaking as some notes may be incorrect, it doesn't properly loop (it eventually goes back to the intro), and its triangle sounds more like SMBDX. The note lengths are also either too long/too short depending on the instrument.

[storm osprey]

Don't you think it would be better if we combined the two projects?

[smoky yacht]

not necessarily, since we're both going different directions. Mine's just a glorified tech demo basically.

I feel like if we wanted to assemble a team and work on an actual port then SMB3 would be the perfect game for that

[storm osprey]

I was thinking about doing a third one after the second, but I'm actually more excited to do this one, so how about we do it then?

Actually, I was playing it at that exact moment, lol

[smoky yacht]

Figuring out most things for SMB3 would be way easier because its mechanics are closer to smb1 which has been remade in gb studio before so its more likely to be remade if that makes sense

[storm osprey]

yeah, I just think the biggest problem is memory; there are too many different enemies and too many levels

90 levels and more than 40 enemies

[smoky yacht]

True

[limpid maple]

the GBC cant handle SMB3?

mario land 2 exists and it has a lot of original bosses

[storm osprey]

It only has 32 levels and a small soundtrack
Mario 3 has more than twice as many levels, more enemies, more power-ups, and more soundtracks

[limpid maple]

wait SMB3 has more musics???

[limpid maple]

pretty sure mario land 2 has more enemies

at least I remember more of them from SML2 since they are unique
