In any case, I found a segment from the Mine Cart Carnage stage that, if you're still interested, could be translated into a Yoshi's Island (Brawl)-type platform layout for the Project M/Legacy folks.

Can be accessed from these sprites about midway through the level (https://www.spriters-resource.com/fullview/24388/) with the background being here (https://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/dkc/sheet/45121/).

I'll give it a shot!  =D

or maybe start sm4sh hacks?

Sounds like a good idea...but it seems like the smash 4 stage hacking scene is like nonexistent lol.
People say that it's possible to make stage hacks for it but I haven't seen any.
I also hear it's extremely difficult to hack stages for that game as well.
Maybe when they dumb it down & make a program(s) that can easily read the game  i'll jump into it.

you can do that for the most part

What does that mean lol?
Can I or can't I?

Do you mean I can do it but it won't look exactly the way I want it to when I finish....?
Or I can do it theoretically...but it hasn't been done yet?
Or it would be be very hard to do...but it can be done...?

I've had fun with your recent stages, but yeah, people seem to be mostly interested in the competitive-leaning stages nowadays. Maybe you'd get more downloads for your other listed stages if the layouts were more tourney-friendly (for example, based on Battlefield, Fountain of Dreams, Wario Land and whatnot)?

I know Smash Bros. Legacy XP, for example, is trying to compile as many quality tourney stages as possible for its new builds...and it already has some other fun ones like your Ghost House stage. Maybe reaching out to them is a good way to get more attention for your projects?

Yeah you're exactly right. I'm going to have to start  making more balanced, competitive friendly stages if I want more downloads.
Nobody really plays Brawl for FUN anymore since Smash 4 came out.
They mostly play it for 1v1s

So I'll focus on making more + stages.

Everything okay, man?

Yeah I just lost a little interest in brawl hacking again do to the small accumulation of downloads on my new stages.

I used to hack because it was fun & I got the motivation to hack MORE because of the amount of people that enjoyed my stages.  I would upload a stage & bunch of people would download it & enjoy it & I'd feel the desire to make more to make more people happy.
I got my motivation from other peoples enjoyment of my stages.
But it seems like not many people play brawl anymore. I barely get any downloads now after I put 5 - 6+ hours of effort into a single stage.
It doesn't seem like it's really worth it to make stages anymore.
Maybe I'll switch over to project M stage hacking because nobody really plays brawl anymore but project M is still HOT.

Thanks for my Clu Clu Land stage! :)


You're welcome I wish I could have done more. But the game itself is pretty basic. There's not much movement as compared to a super mario advance stage.

You're welcome!

Ok, cool. Thanks! A lot of levels have already been made on here, and I've made a few 2d stages as well, so I'll just pick one from each game that hasn't been made that I'd like to see, and you can just pick whichever one of those that you would like to make. :)

I'll make 1 of them in the future. I want to work on some other stages first.

But consider it done! =D

Can't wait to try out World 4-2, and Morton's Castle was a really pleasant surprise...wasn't expecting to see that one for a while. Nice work!

One thing, since I didn't see it in your original post, are you still planning on doing Mine Cart Carnage? I can definitely understand if you want to restrict to one request per user, just wondering if it's still on the table.

Thanks a lot bro! :)
Yeah I managed to build Mortons Castle out of nowhere last night lmao.
Oh yeah I still plan on making it. Or at least attempting to make it.
But I want to work on some other stages first so there's no due date for it. But I'll slap it up there on the list of up coming stages.

This looks neat! Maybe have an animated background with platforms in the stage. I would love your idea! :)

Ahh okay, i get it now. No problem.

Love your stages. Ever consider doing some from the Genesis Sonic games?

Hey thanks a lot man! :)
No not really because I never played that game but if you have a request for a stage or level from that game I could probably make it if I can get my hands on the textures/sprites from the game.

Okay! Thanks. :)

I'm a bit confused on how you want the layout of the stage to be broskii.
Where you thinking of something like this where the back contains the stage itself and you fight on a platform in front of it???

Hey, man. How goes the stage?

Dang sorry bro, I wasn't even able to start it yet. I'm definitely going to start on it Monday because I'll have some spare time. The only days I work on stages is Tuesday  & Wednesday;my days off from work. I have a lot of free time before I go to class those days. But Monday I'm off from class so I will definitely have time to start & probably finish the stage.

Just checked out your World 4-2 video on YouTube...it's magnificent! The level really feels 'alive' with the Beezos in the background and the various items — excellent touches there. The one glitch(?) I noticed was that there seems to be a small pixelated line below the Ace Coin. Not sure whether that's the level itself or your TV (it seems to be below one of the cherries in your preview images, so I'm guessing the latter).  

In any case, it's a great stage that I can't wait to add to my personal build. Thanks for making it!

Ayyy!!! Thanks bro!
The cherrys are animated as well. Idk if you can tell from the video because it isn't that high quality but they swing back & forth like they do in-game.

It's hard to explain... but the "line(s)" that you see are reflections. Light is reflecting off of the transparent models that I needed to use to add the little items & nick-nacks for the stage.  The reflection off of the edge of the model makes it look as though their is a line fading in & out of view as the camera angle changes . In reality it is just the edge of the model reflecting light. I can't do anything about that unfortunately.  =\

So...so....so...so...so... it's not yet possible to create custom stages for Smash 4 yet right?
Like if I wanted to some how move/recreate my brawl stages to/for Smash 4 that's not going to happen for a while?

I told you once you go hack, you cant go back...
But seriously nice to see u back and hope to see u on the sm4sh thread as well

Lmao ;)
Thanks man. It's good to be back.
I'll check it out now.

Huh...maybe that's because that background was the one item I linked from Super Mario Advance, while the rest of it was from Super Mario All-Stars?

Here's a version of the same snowy hills from All-Stars (http://www.mariouniverse.com/images/sprites/snes/smb2/bg-snowmountains.png). Maybe that'll work better? If not, it wouldn't be too big a deal to use general blue sky (http://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/supermariobros2/sheet/7209/) for the background...the rest of the stage definitely looks kickass so far!

Okay I'll throw some blue sky up in there then lol.

Never mind I got the background covered. :D

Liking what I'm seeing so far from Blackthorn Gym on YouTube! Also, just as an FYI, the Super Mario Advance stage is actually Level 4-2, not 2-4 (all the worlds only have three levels, so the wrong name might be confusing for some).

Fixed! :)
Lol thanks broskii.  
I'm having trouble with the Super Mario stage though.  The problem I feared would happen happened. I cannot get a high resolution background.

This is what I have so far. But you see how the background kills the whole thing due to the sheer lack of quality it has.
