UPDATE:

A New Super Mario Bros map pack called New Thinking with Old Portals.

This map was basically made to make use of the New Super Mario Bros tiles. Thus, there is no theme each world, but more of a different theme each level. There is going to be 6 Worlds in this map and it will make full use of sublevels, warpzones and alternate paths so be sure to look out for those!

The proudest part of this map pack for me are the castles, as each one focuses on a different theme done in an interesting way.

Progress Report:
World 1: Completed
World 2: Completed
World 3: Completed
World 4: In Progress
World 5: In Progress
World 6: In Progress


Some Screenies:

Credit to mari0bros2 and WillWare YOUR TILES AND BACKGROUNDS MAKE IT LOOK INFINITELY BETTER.

Feedback would be nice.

I like your level design. It reminds me of Super Mario Land.

Also, you want this:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?okoa1tm98ajzyjf

It has all the NSMB backgrounds you'll need, plus the newest, not-yet-released version of my tileset. I never "officially" released these because I figured people could just get them out of the NSMW mappack itself.

I have pretty high hopes for this. Good luck with it.
But as for a name, you're on your own.

EDIT: Or there's the .rar from mari0bros2. I just put mine together for when I release it later.

Oh sweet thanks. This is all INCREDIBLY helpful. The map looks so much better now with the parallax backgrounds especially.

I have finished the first 3 stages and am wondering if I should release world 1 as a demo or just release everything at once. The game is gonna have 3 to 5 worlds now.

Sweet. That's gonna be really helpful.

I'm a smidge disappointed I'm not getting much feedback. I wanna know if there's any major issues from now instead of finding out when I'm one stage from finishing.

Level design is good so far. I'm trying to get past 1-4 still. :P
Keep up the good work! Btw, I could make some levels for you if you like. :)

I tried making it as hard as possible while still being fair. The castle levels are gonna be tough.
Mari0Maker wrote:I could make some levels for you if you like. :)
Nah, not for this one. But I WILL be making a map that people can help with. After this one. Make levels anyways! I could just put it in another map pack, or you can just release them as your own. c:

I was just trying to help him. Just because we will use them in our group project doesn't mean other people can't use them. Besides, he gave credit :D

Ive only seen one custom song in most map packs i've played and I'm beginning to wonder how many custom songs a map can have.


Also, as an update, I'm at world 2-4 now. I had to skip world 2-3 because It's gonna be a pipe maze and that is gonna be really complex. I'll probably do that later.

Mari0 as it is right now only supports one custom song per pack. Any other mappack that has multiple custom song, like 0'brothers for example, have been modded so the songs can be included. SE will have support for multiple song tracks, I believe.

You can use this: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2161
Otherwise, wait for SE, which I suggest.

I could just make the mappack and mod combined in one download. I can just edit the source file and add the mappack in the source.

Yeah, I'll try to make it where you wont need to do that (unless SE comes before the release of this).

It most likely wont.

Although I had a major setback with my usb with the map getting virus infected. The one on my computer isnt as updated So I'll have to start a level or two over.

Hey Predator, read this checklist:
1) Welcome to the forums;
2) You did one too many url tags;
3) And this one is important, Don't advertise your mappack in other threads, make your own thread. That is impolite, and is a ban-able offense (I think).
