[quote="Lovintendo"]Why Mario have five colors? And why the mushroom in the item box have four colors? Are you trying to use layering tricks?[/quote] That's what I was trying to go for. Looking at it now, I could've probably just snipped one color from my overall palette and it wouldn't have made that much of a difference. [img]http://i.imgur.com/RqsngNM.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/vZdwcR5.png[/img] If it helps, here's the palette I'm currently using.

Everything you see are my own assets that I made. Note 2 - Coin thing is a Roto-Disc though I tried for an alternative pattern, though with those enemies there isnt much you can do with that.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/hhr7YsK.png[/img] More sprites, I guess i can start doing background objects now.

i like those a ton but something bugs me about how much better they look on a dark bg than a light one, i have no idea if anything can be done about that tho.

Edit: I've decided to withdraw my submission since it's not ready enough.

Since the last entry of a goomba won't work out and seeing 2-3 SMB style custom styles, I thought I could join in the party! [img]http://i.imgur.com/hkLuxnI.png[/img] Here are the 4-colored palettes! [img]http://i.imgur.com/z6QHPMI.png[/img] EDIT: Made sure Monty Mole has 4 colors (since SuperArthurBros pointed it out.)

My favorite theme:

Your Mario and Montly Mole have 5 colors...

Update 2: Going to keep working on this until I finish a mock up screen shot (since that seems to be the bar of this comp) [img]http://bin.smwcentral.net/u/124/mfgg_smb4_entry_yakibomb_2.png[/img] Also, is a SM64 kind of HUD possible? I thought it could display like the hearts in SMB2 (which I assume are sprites due to transparency?), but is it technically possible?

[quote="SuperArthurBros"]Your Mario and Montly Mole have 5 colors...[/quote] Not exactly on Mario since I'd check , but Montly Mole do have more than 4. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll change it later.

[quote="Psid"][img]http://i.imgur.com/Nqa5YPx.png[/img] WIP, Tried to make the sprites and tiles to be the most readable as possible. Any thoughts? Mario sorta looks pretty iffy to me, especially with it's posture.[/quote] He looks fine to me, except he is a little tall. Also, I like how you're trying to keep the sprites smooth looking with clear outlines. Also, the slope sprites have 5 colors on the top 4 ones. I would suggest changing the lightest dirt color to the sky color.

This seems really gorgeous on the palettes you used.

But yeah, I'll try tweaking on Mario sprite.

I tried something. Recently I've been trying practice with this perspective. Overall, I think I may have focused a lil' much on making it look like a real screenshot from the middle of a stage lol Edit: fixed a few palette issues and touched up on some things in the process [img]http://s30.postimg.org/7w0jo3mc1/Super_Mario_And_Duper_Luigi.png[/img] old ver: [spoiler][img]http://s30.postimg.org/8sole04b5/Super_Mario_And_Duper_Luigi.png[/img][/spoiler]

I'm actually not going to enter this, seeing as I'd get blown out of the water clearly. These entries are all amazing, and there are so many! My favorites are Cruise Elroy's and Mors'.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/yErfH18.png[/img] Alright, now it's time to built some levels using this (also the HUD)

[img]http://i.imgur.com/dsrb3zT.png[/img] I thiiiiiink I'm done with this now.

Fantastic entries, guys! Keep it up! :thumbsup: Anyway, here's what I've made so far: [img]http://www.quintonland.com/MFGG/smb4_wip.PNG[/img] I had a lot of fun making what's seen in the above. I have plans on expanding it (and maybe make a least one mockup screenshot), but if I somehow happened to not do so, then please consider the above as my entry for voting.
