I Upscaled Super Mario World with AI

[cyan dawn]

I just got an AI image upscaler and have seen some pretty impressive results with it from really pixelated images. So I wondered… what would it look like if I upscaled the entire Super Mario Bros game sprite sheet?

Not only that, but it’s a very expandable idea that you could do for other games

Yeah sounds good

WOW!!!! Awesome idea. Would love to see the vid when you do it

Just wondering how different the ai will make stuff, just by upscaling

@cyan dawn this is honestly one of the best ideas ive seen on this server in a while - awesome stuff 🙌

[cyan dawn]

thanks a lot!!! I hope it looks good

i take that back

i hope i know how to actually replace the sprites in the game lol

[lime moss]

That’s gonna make for an AWESOME vid!!!!

It’s actually kinda fortunate that they turned out horrible

[cyan dawn]

yeah there's just one issue:

I can't just replace a tileset like in minecraft

I have to sort through the game files with multiple programs and I'm 99% sure that the sprites work by exact pixel placement, and not through scaling (like minecraft)

I am very much stuck on this idea

If anyone knows a game hacking expert pls let me know

Aren’t there any ripoffs of the original game made in a different game engine? Those would be easier to modify

I think most game developers that have a (relatively small) yt channel would be happy to join you (and help you) on this project

[cyan dawn]

im wondering that

but if I wanted to expand to other games I would have to find a process I can replicate

Not sure every game has a carbon copy in a new engine

[cyan dawn]

but thank you! I will be keeping an eye out
