I hate ROM version changes. Always have, so I'm unhappy to hear about this.
Same here. IMO things that make the run faster only because of a version change should not be taken into account. I think it should be a rule to always use the (U) version if one exists. Too bad it seems that not many people (including the one that counts, Bisqwit) share my view.

I thought they were talking about the Mario Movie, not the MJ one.

Hmm that's a tough one. It is clear that the hack should definitely not be accepted for a good while now since there is a new version coming and who knows how many after that. Ignoring that, one could argue that it should NOT be accepted because
    1) you have to really know the game (which not very many people will) to be able to enjoy the run properly (i.e. the action scenes are pretty slow-paced and the run doesn't offer much in that perspective, it's mostly about figuring out routes) 2) there is very much repetition, especially in the boss department 3) it's quite long (relates to #1 as well)
Generally speaking what people probably like the most about this game is that there is so much new stuff to explore and figure out. It really isn't at its best as a TAS. Then again, it IS a wonderful game and I would certainly watch a full optimized TAS...

In changing the description, I did not take anyone's side. I'm on the side of the movie description. For reasons I already stated, I found it best to change it. And yes, I still do think it was for the best. EDIT: And I didn't touch Bimmy and Jimmy, I just removed the other part.

I agree with Vatchern and Phil there, Bimmy has no place in a DD2 description, it's just confusing.

I removed the "That's really hard to do!" line. It is no longer relevant because one player controlling two characters is a common practice these days. Also, inside jokes/sarcasm/puns that are impossible for the average joe to understand do not, of course, belong in movie descriptions.

I don't understand how you came to that conclusion seeing as you are condescending all the time and I almost never lash out. I just couldn't let that one slide. Why does it matter if NecroVMX is unkind in his criticism? It still doesn't make his arguments wrong. He did not like the movie so he voted no. End of story. Even if he knew beforehand that he would probably vote no, it STILL doesn't take away the right to vote no after watching it. And if his vote/opinion doesn't matter, why do you care? In my opinion it is important for everyone to express (and to be able to express) their feelings and tell people what they think about something, even if it's not always positive. If you as a creator of a movie can't handle someone saying that they didn't like the movie, you have some growing to do.

I guess he wants to be just like you when he grows up.

Even if he knows he's going to dislike the movie, why the hell can't he still watch it and vote no? It's his choice and it doesn't make his vote any less valid. In fact I wish more people did this so we could see the how many people really don't enjoy watching an OK run of a crappy unknown game. The point of the voting system is kind of ruined if only people who are especially interested in the movie vote.

Just remembered one thing I've been meaning to ask: Is there an exit in the secret Star House? I've been wandering around it for quite some time without coming up with any revolutionary ideas so it would be nice to know if I'm searching for something that isn't there.

You can walk over any hole, that trick has been known for ages. The point of the .smv was that he went right through the wall, which is a new trick.

As for the rating thing, why don't you just use http://tasvideos.org/Movies-RatingY.html ?

The arcade emulator you are talking about (FBA) is not officially supported here as it lacks some crucial properties required for TASing.

I agree, no one cares about the votes for obsoleted movies.

Do you notice how he doesn't even mention the graphics, he only mentions the gameplay? Get over it, graphics are not the most important thing in a game for everyone. Don't take it so personally.

Dear funguy10, we all respect your opinion that a hack is not good if it does not have new graphics. Now please respect ours (well at least mine), which is that new graphics are not the most important thing in a hack. JXQ is right, too, in saying that while some of the graphics do look cool, the levels might not be that fun to play.

Thanks for the hints. I've completed the Fort House and it takes me to Dino Valley alright. The thing is, it takes me to Dino Valley 2, not 1. From DV2 (which is a yellow level) I get to the Valley House. A new yellow dot did appear over DV2 but there's no way to get to it. There's also a dark green spot for a new level above DV2 but I can't get there either. I have gotten the exits from DV2, Valley House and Valley Fortress (two exits in the fort). Screenshot. EDIT: There is no lava in Frosty Cave 5, maybe you mistook that for another level? EDIT2: No, wait, yes there is. I'm a moron, sorry. EDIT3: Found them both, thanks. FC5 was just evil, but I can't believe I missed the pipes in WF3. I think I've found all exits now, although it's hard to tell because the starting screen still shows only *96, which is a real shame. Still a brilliant hack!

Okay so I finally decided to stop hogging funguy10's Second Reality Project 2 thread and create a new one for this hack because it really deserves to be more widely known. You can get the hack here. I don't know if there are screenshots of the hack anywhere, it doesn't seem like the hack is very well known. For those of you who haven't been following the TSRP2 thread, Super Challenge World is an amazing hack that I stumbled upon recently. It of course has a completely new world map and completely new levels. Personally I hold it in even higher regard than SDW:TLC, although I think I might be in the minority here. There are some new graphics and grabbable items in the game but no new changebox items like in SDW. What makes this hack so special is that some of the levels are elaborate puzzles that require knowledge of the SMW physics and a lot of thinking. For example to find all exits you have to know how to pick up two items at once and how to fly normally with the cape while holding an item. The hack has over 100 exits, most of which are hidden in a way that doesn't require absurd testing but rather intense thinking. The hack isn't completely free of bugs. I ran into one bug in the overworld where a pipe takes you in the middle of the forest even though you should be standing on a level. It's a minor bug that doesn't in any way prevent you from playing the game fully. On a side note, if anyone knows the secret exits of Frosty Cave 5 and Whomp's Fort 3, please feel free to give a hint or two. A hint about how to get to Dino Island 1 would also be nice. Have fun playing!

It's me who's having trouble. I've been stuck at that level for a long time now, and have been trying hours on end. I asked Fabian for help but he couldn't do it either. The closest I've gotten is by being small Mario and going to the very end of the level. Then I make the feather fall down and get small Mario up to running speed and take the feather. The instant Mario gets the feather I duck and let Mario slide under the plants. I've been trying this for hours but the closest I can get is like a half block away. It'd be nice if you could just tell me what to do, I've really run out of ideas.

Start fiddling around with the emulator using frame advance, slowdown and save states and try to record something small first. You'll get the hang of it. Use http://tasvideos.org/UsingEmulatorTools.html if you have any questions.

I think I got it from www.smwcentral.net but the site seems to be down right now. EDIT: Found a direct link that works: http://www.smwcentral.net/download.php?id=141&type=hack
