SMW Hack- (Untitled)- Tornado Castle (Full)

[neutronsareawesome]

pretty good for an early level

Also the concept works for a final castle room

[dottedboy]

wow! much better than pretty much every early level I ever made.

[garanto1000]

これって改造？？

[cloudcakes30]

This should be called #1 SPIN JUMP CASTLE

[AxemJinx]

@cloudcakes30 I still prefer "Torpedo Ted Shed" :b

[mitjable]

that hard

[jayteegee890]

was it just me or did the whole level go with the castle music

[OMSIFreak97]

der epische Iggy :D

[alexdz123321]

O_o

[faves3000]

Tornado Castle:A whirlwind of FUN!

[krassomatenkrass]

was ein geiles level!

[AxemJinx]

@Zeldara109: Orbital Station is one reason I hate the float timer- I'll definitely be getting rid of that :p

But yes, if this level were condensed and didn't rely on rote memorization, it would fit nicely in some late-game map.

[Zeldara109]

I think this gimmick might still be usable in a SMW hack level without being unfair...

I'd suggest only using leftward Torpedo Teds though-- the rightward ones move so fast that it becomes basically memorization, especially capeless. (remembers TSRPR's Orbital Station...)

[steeledminer616]

Neat level but don't you mean "Torpedo Castle"?

[Krati08071995]

Hey, Did you know you can edit larrys room veery easily? theres a prog named Iggy/larry(i think) room editor on SMW central, its easy and makes more fun bossfights :D

[AxemJinx]

@Krati08071995 It's good to know there are even easy-to-use boss editors now- thanks for the info!

[Krati08071995]

@AxemJinx No problem, I always like to help and get help :D oh and btw: Nice idea, i had in mind to do something like that, just with the line guided grinders(saws^^) And then i saw this xD

[gamerfreak10001]

How do you make the level go left?

[Twisted86]

That was impressive as hell :O

[chaomasterzebboxo]

I liked that part when he spin-jumped off of the Torpedo Teds.

[MCSuire]

@chaomasterzebboxo xD

[VivaHelsinki]

Very nice. Real skill.

[shadowthehedgehog937]

How did you control the speed of the torpedo teds? Cause, some went slow, others went fast. How'd u do that?

[AxemJinx]

@shadowthehedgehog937 It depends on the direction in which they launch, if I remember correctly. Right = fast, left = slow. I assume it was done this way so the torpedos would catch up to the player in underwater levels when the player passes the launcher.

[Clayguy247]

Lol i love this castle, thats my favorite sound effect! LOL

[soniclover88888]

2 people need clicking lessons.

[DuneBelle]

Very creative, but I think it could have done with more variety throughout rather than doing the same thing three rooms in a row then having something new come up. Just a thought.

[AxemJinx]

@DuneBelle Yep, I came to think the same after posting this version- the whole level can be consolidated into a few rooms, which would make the level easier, shorter, more varied, and probably more fun. I think I actually made the same mistake for some levels in Rise to the Challenge, but hey, it was a learning experience. But yeah, in this case it was so bad I ended up not including the level in RttC. I might return to the idea sometime, though.

Thanks for the critique.

[DuneBelle]

@AxemJinx You're welcome. :3

[BlackRose2222]

One of the best levels ive seen

[thesix107]

DAMN, that looked like a legitimately hard level. Crazy nice. How'd you come up with the needing to spin jump idea, and the massive bullet bills??

[davegroom7]

those are topedo teds there suposed to be under water

[MCSuire]

This level looks tough as nails.

[Drumz0r2243]

were is bullet bill?

[srpnoodle]

Straight up nasty!

[TossKeeper]

Nice level, but you should have named it torpedo castle ^^

[AxemJinx]

Or perhaps Torpedo Ted Shed? :p

[giraplatin]

Nice, but could you try making a hack that dosen't require spinjumps and stuff like that? Not like it's a bad hack, but I think It's a bit hard...

[AxemJinx]

This level is very old. If you're interested in what I've been up to in the meantime, look up Rise to the Challenge :p. A hard game, but not something that requires all spinjumps like this level.

[Hazzard67]

Iggy? FOR THAT? It wold make snece if it was bowser of somthing.

[LOZHaxer]

That's what I thought. :P

[jungledyrene]

where can i get this game

I mean with the normal levels? :D

[Madmario007]

very entertaining

[DukewintermaulX]

where is the website to get all these hacks made by people ??? pls respond

[movinitlikedat45]

I now know why it's called "Tornado' Castle.

[Ultima1995]

WOW nice job...

i think i could do it(complete level)

Can u send me rom please?

i have lunar magic but too old rom ;/

[SilverPOWERSTAR]

nice job!

[nachofire100]

hey i think its actually well put. good job 5/5 :D + i can only hack the 1st level, how can i hack other levels. plz tell me

[BlueJirachi]

Click the folder in the top right,with the numbers under it.Enter the hex of a level and BOOM,it works.

WORLD 1 HEX CODES:

Yoshi's Island 1:105

Yoshi's Island 2:106

Yoshi's Island 3:103

Yoshi's Island 4:102

Iggy's Castle:101

Yoshis' House:104

Yellow Switch Palace:14

[Lebon19]

This level shouts for Kaizou difficulty... I hate too hard rom hacks...

[AxemJinx]

Don't worry, just about all the levels in RttC are *a lot* easier than this.

[therealjordiano]

geez thats an amazing castle man! cool! 5/5!

[McDonaldsDude]

Awesome as hell man. Kept me in suspense too - I haven't played the game in a minute but when you twist on fireballs/thwomps does it actually just bounce you up? Or was that a hack too?

[AxemJinx]

No, that's actually part of the original game itself. If you can't defeat an enemy, you can bounce off of it with a spinjump. With a few exceptions.

[carzdude1000]

nice 5/6 (at least it's better than my levels)

[XGSuperstar]

Still epic as per usual.

Also, if you don't remember who this is, I'm going to cry.

[AxemJinx]

Why does the smashboards thread "Who else is afraid of Brawl potentially sucking" come to mind? Not to mention loads of discussion involving SMW,Smash 64, and classic video game music. Zetta good times.

Glad you liked the level. Hopefully I'll have some more uploaded when I finish the rest of the level design...

[XGSuperstar]

You are correct sir. Too bad that thread had to be locked, funny how it wasn't noticed at all after six months. Maybe they thought it would die on it's own.

Funny how scary true our predictions were in that thread, hahaha.

[mccandokao]

What emulator, and where can I get the rom?

[XGSuperstar]

If I am correct, it was ZSNES. The Rom, he owns the altered copy and you'd have to find some way to pry it out of his cold dead hands.

Unless the hack was finished, but I don't know.

[mccandokao]

Thank you so much :D

[MDMstudios]

very good i love it

[FreidenkerDeluxe]

thats a nice hack, inspired of kaizo. i made a hack too. watch my channel. its a puzzle hack.

[Jzag96]

You are an amzing hacker and player! Holy Mashed potatoes thats good!(lol) I stink at the editor, but if i finish my hack, can i give you a link and you tell me what you think?( don't worry, it'll be a while, cuz i still need 9 levels and to finish a custom overworld)

[AxemJinx]

I'd be happy to ^^. Keep me posted.

[Jzag96]

and the link is what?

[Kazeriux]

All i can say is...Oh my goodness @.@

[Puppified30]

Dude I wanna play that now that I see it.

[GOP1994GOP]

First, THAT WAS THE BEST LEVEL I'VE EVER SEEN!

My suggestions are:

-make the level a bit harder

-add more rooms

Overall: 100/100

Keep up the good work!

[lucario2404]

very impressive!!!

[Davidxyeimy]

Holy Crap!

[Aub99]

woah so much skill in that...you sir, get a respectful mod from Captain!

[SchwaWarrior]

O_O

N... No comment... x__x

[KingGoldark]

Oh, for the days of regular old SMW when Torpedo Ted stayed firmly planted in Soda Lake... Took a page from TSRP 1, did you?

[AxemJinx]

Actually, I started work on this level before I made it to the last world in TSRP1.

[KingGoldark]

Well, in that case, both you and FPI are really devious.

[theones77]

THAT IS AWSOME!!!! 5 stars! & thx 4 showing me that mario could spin jump on alot of things! 5/5 stars man! 5/5 stars!

[CorinneMQ]

I would go mad if I had to play this level, that is so hard. You did such a good job.

[44Tiburonsito44]

Yo I admire you so much. You are one creative person. I'm a Mario fan....and you od'd. Lol Excellent!

[RatherWatchThem]

that reminds me of one of New SMB when you turn tiny and bounce on all the Bullet Bills. i got a lot of extra lives

[pieguy1372]

A nice castle level, with lots of nice ideas. I will say, though, that bouncing off of Torpedo Teds over and over again gets boring. I recommend that you remove the second area and merge and shorten the third and fourth areas, and mabye have Mario spin-jump off of some other enemies.

4.5/5, great job!

[VGJunky160]

Incredibly hardcore to play. I want to do try it now..

[Bagoony]

Well.. At least I know why this castle is called Tornado Castle -.-

Nice idea about making a Spin jump-level. But just like

Edgar said, boring.

I'll give it 4/5. Because it's hard ^^

[Edgar1205]

3.5/5 Why: the ideas is good spin jumping.But spin jumping almost all the way on the castle is just boring. Good work!

[speedy790]

WICKED HARD!

[hyliaman]

The tornado thing was amusing the first time, but making it the entire level is boring.

[BbZ121]

the boss is the easiest thing compred to the whole level

[AxemJinx]

The boss is the sigh of relief after the tornado :p

[LeadCeno]

That's the way it is with most hacks since until recently there wasn't any way to make custom bosses.

[BizCasFri]

My god. That's insane! Good job, though.

[ff9zidane199]

this stage is level 11/13

this stage has been graded by SMWCGA

[AxemJinx]

Umm that's the third time you've said the same thing. I wouldn't do it again.

[ff9zidane199]

lol sorry

[ff9zidane199]

i say the level of this stage would have gone higher if u had jumping flames in the lava part

[AxemJinx]

Jumping flames wouldn't have done anything difficulty-wise, since you're already spinjumping, they spawn below you, and you're constantly on the move. It would be nigh impossible to make fireballs come up at exactly the right spots, and pointless too.

Lol at GuardianStealth. You're probably right XD.

[ff9zidane199]

what if u put it on the roof falling lava would make it difficult with all that jumping around and don't tell me it can't be done

[ff9zidane199]

this stage is level 11/13

this stage has been graded by SMWCGA

[AxemJinx]

After looking through all of these ratings, I actually think you should play most of these levels too before rating them. Or is it just me?...What does everyone else think of these?

[GuardianStealth]

You'd probably get much lower ratings than what you are getting now, and be left with tons of "ARGH STUPID [EXPLETIVE] LEVEL!" messages if we played them first.

[utsastud2001]

I never thought of Grinder as a safe spot before.

Also, I think if the Nazis were to have ever designed Mario levels to put prisoners through, they would be as sadistic as this one, lol.

[ff9zidane199]

this stage is level 11/13

[EricBrewton]

i wonder if you can do this to wendys castle for me please responde

[AxemJinx]

What exactly do you mean?

[EricBrewton]

make it very hard becuse it is easy to get pass please responde

[ff9zidane199]

its pretty hard

[ff9zidane199]

hmmm ill rate this castle seems to me its a lv 11 castle

[redchaos87]

Dude! This level is psychotic!!!

[errr0r]

Very good idea, but little to hard for me i think.

[VerySunnyDay]

That's profesional!

[teribhendi]

Thats very good and very clever

[sunkistkernels]

hmm I see someone asked if they could play your lvls, but where do you get your costumized version of this mario game? I would so love to play, you are a very creative and talented individual :)

[AxemJinx]

What do you mean by the "customized version" exactly? The level editor, or the level sets?

[DarkNails93]

Good job!!!

[zario12]

Could i play your hacked levels?

[AxemJinx]

When the set is finished, yes. I have no idea when that will be, but I'll try to work on it as consistently often as possible.

[HorsiePayne]

Wow..... You rock at Super Mario world!!!! Im Stuck on Bowser. :'(

[daminmancejin]

OK there is noway i would play this shit!!!

[AxemJinx]

That's fine, it's your choice. Just don't get the false impression that all the levels I make will be like this.

[GuardianStealth]

Good God... Someone would have to be a GOD to get through to the boss and stay big. O.O

[AxemJinx]

This is actually one of those levels where it's better to be small, because it's harder for Mario to get hit (less area/hitbox). Of course, I put mushrooms in anyway, because it's very hard (though not impossible) to be 100% consistent on this stage. Don't worry though, by the time you get to this stage you will be well-trained in spinjump bouncing *evil laugh*

[Zenosword]

Very creative. Longest spin jump I've seen in any hack!

[ClassicMiles]

This looks ungodly difficult. I wouldn't play it even if it had an easy version.

It'd probably be better as a secret castle, or World 7's Castle.

[AxemJinx]

If it's on the main path, it will be very late in the game. There's a possibility it'll be a secret castle...we'll see.

[Eshplode]

i like it, only problem is the level itself looks way harder than the boss battle is

[AxemJinx]

Lol. If I knew how to change boss battles, I would. I don't even know if it's possible for all of them. I'm planning on following in FPIs footsteps a little though- I'll try to make some creative "Big Boo" bosses.

If only I could make the boss ride on a Torpedo Ted...

[Selkiematt]

that's sick, it would take me a couple hours to master that, lol

rediculous.-5 stars

[yushis]

Very nice. Midway gates and power ups before each segment. Nice to see some compassion from a hack author.

[montyman3]

once again very.. very hard

[shinkeiar]

lol i love the music enough to learn it on piano >.<

i'm impressed with the concept very much, props!

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

This is just too cool for words!..

[OGKUSHI]

That's just awesome, but I think you will have to know the level to avoid enemies and so on. Anyway, really awesome what ppl can do. 5 Stars !

[Ninjujitsu]

That. Was fucking. Awesome.

[thewerecactus]

Nice! Love it! The layout, the scheme, the execution! THis level is sexy!

[shizohal]

Dang man, what an awesome idea! It makes me wish Lunar Magic worked on Macintosh. I can't begin to imagine how much I'd cuss and swear trying to pass this level. Well done.

[sargezeldaproduction]

Did anyone notice the backround candle weren't lit but were still lighting the place?

[Witleneko]

A hack for the experts!

[Zant75]

I liked the creativeness of the torpedo ted at the beginning. But I think you should add another one when you get on the platfrom with the pirahna plants, at the end. Just in case it gets too far ahead of them.

[AxemJinx]

Nah, that's the point of interrupting the bouncing with a platform in the first place. Besides, the Spitting Piranha Plants actually keep you in sync with the Torpedo Ted, making it very hard to screw up that particular part.

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

very cool and the castle music I always loved! (adding on 2 De last comment!) :)

[nakedsnake6278]

Whoa, that was gret, hats off to yah for that :3

[innsaane]

Are you a sadomasochist? I mean seriously, this makes the hardest stage in the real game look like a joke. Wow.

[starscreams]

speaking of that im going to do a remake of your level its greate

[AxemJinx]

Actually, no. I'm curious, what did you think I used hex editing for? I don't even know how to hex edit lol. Don't know what you can do with hex editing either. Feel free to enlighten me though ^^.

[starscreams]

well you cant combine torpedo teds with castle enimes there only meant for watere so you must have used hex to make the torpedo teds worke with the castle enimes

[AxemJinx]

Actually, I just used ExGFX to swap in Torpedo Teds. You'll notice that there are no magikoopas, bony beetles, or bone-throwing dry bones. That's because the Torpedo GFX replaced them, making those three incompatible with the castle sprite set.

[starscreams]

oh very nice worke i like your level it looks fun

[starscreams]

wow very good usage of torpedo teds tell me did you do hex editing

[kh2mayor]

google lunar magic

[GigaBoost]

how do you make hacks like these? Where can I download hacks like these? (this map looks very fun!)

[hydrosbon]

you're crazy, dude.

[Darkcomet72]

Aww man, I spoke too soon about the initial vid's length being fine.

Ah well, a very nice stage. Looks painfully difficult, though, and those long jumps with the 2X2 blocks with spikes surrounding it seem more annoying than anything. Glad new ideas were presented to keep it from becoming stale.

[CrazyQuark]

OMG! And I thought TSRP's "Orbital Station"-level was hard. It contained a similar idea. But besides that, well done! I'm sure it needed a lot of testing to make sure that everything works. I think a lot of people will have problems with a level like that, but I prefer it more on the hard side anyway. I was surprised to see Iggy at the end. So it is supposed to be the first castle in the hack? If yes, it's REALLY hard.

[AxemJinx]

Lol no, of course it's not going to be the first Castle in the game, I'll be switching the bosses around later when I'm done with all the castles. You're right, I did have to test a lot and make minor changes here and there, but it eventually worked out. This level is a little easier than most people think; it's just that since very few levels require spinbounce control, it has a high learning curve. Thanks for the comment.
