Something I always have trouble with when making levels based on the original Super Mario Bros. was the placement of the scenery tiles and how to not make them look crappy, especially the clouds, so today I went into the SMB Utility and made some background images that can be used for Mari0 levels based on what combinations of the variables in the settings were actually used in game (not sure if every one I made was actually used in the original). I could have gone and made one for every combination, but I would have been doing this all day then. These can be used in any way you want such as actual backgrounds, placeholders, templates on where to place tiles, whatever. I don't need credit, but don't say you made them

You never really see threads giving away backgrounds like they do tiles, so I'm open to changing this thread to a background version of "Tileset Respositorium" if anyone would be interested in that. Tiles are a little different than backgrounds as backgrounds seem more used and made for one specific mappack, but you never know

Edit: That's what it is now, and I'm guessing "Repository" was the word Luxor was going for with Respositorium, so lets use that instead

I may have to make this into a non-Photoshop document but rather a series of .PNGs.

With the templates on here, the Hills/Mountains BG's cut off at the end. Each background in SMB1 goes 48 full tiles, or 768 pixels before repeating.

I think this should become a Background Respositorium. I think it would be useful, just like the Tileset Respositorium was.
Anyways, here is some backgrounds I made.

Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image Image

If you want to know how you make these, just make a 16x224 image, and make a gradient that goes straight up and down. They look perfect ingame. :)
I got this idea from some map maker, but I can't remember...

Well,yes, i forgot to mention that. But I edited them , so they aren't actually the same.
Also, my water reflections aren't just thrown on the image, they are showing up and dissapearing again, depending on your current position.
(Am I the first one who did a background with reflections like these? )

Thanks Max, you inspired me to rip this particular background:

It comes from "Utsurun Desu" if you're curious.

And as a bonus, another background from the same game:

I believe what you're doing is copying the url in the address bar.
If your using mediafire (which I don't recommend as Imgur is more useful here.) then rightclick the image and click 'Copy image URL' and then put that in the [IMG] tags instead.

Uhhh, okay, well.

[offtopic]In my opinion (about the park background), I'd change the sky colour for a darker blue, and I'd add more farther buildings.
