Map Requests / RE: Super Mario World Chocolate Island 2 Incorrect

« on: May 13, 2009, 08:06:54 pm »

The fixed (and hopefully correct) choco island 2 map is uploaded:

However, Jonathan made no news about it, is that why you are asking? Sometimes he posts news like "Game (Revised)", when there is a revised map. I can ask him if he will do such a news, because there were like 30+ mails I got about this one map. So maybe other people also only check the news and not the forum and don't know that there is an improved map.

Sorry for taking so long to re-redo (^^) the map, but my computer crashed two weeks ago.

So here is the map that can be "read" from left to right. It can also be uploaded to the main page:

Ok, just tell me what I can improve.

I also thought about aligning stuff like this:



------ | Area 2a | Area 3a | -------

Area 1 | Area 2b | Area 3b | Area 4a

------ | Area 2c | Area 3c | Area 4b



Not sure, if that is better.

Well, just a few things before I continue:

I'm probably one of the few guys that never really played SMW in my childhood (only the first levels at a friend). So one day I thought it would be nice to play through the game on emulator and try to map it. I started to map the first 2 levels manually and then found this lunar magic editor. It was a lot easier with lunar, because all I had to do was to save the level & "bonus level" files as bmp and align them correctly (I wanted to play through the game anyway, so I just checked which pipe lead to which bonus room and so on).

But then there were a few areas that lunar magic couldn't render. Especially in this level. And because I never played the game, I just went through the level and mapped the missing areas (at this point I did not know that I was missing more areas of this level).

Then over the years I got like 100 mails (50 from debbie^^) in which I was asked to redo the map. I always wanted to do so, but you know, sometimes you are just too busy...



I finally read a FAQ to find the missing areas. But now there are still errors in the map?



I will redo the map again, but I need specific information:



Area 1 (there is only one first Area)

- when you do not collect enough coins, you reach Area 2A (left side on my map)

- when you collect enough coins, you reach Area 2B (right side on my map)



And then, Area 2B leads to Area 3B (the one with the mushroom-bubbles on right side of my map).

Is there a way to reach a different Area 3X from Area 2B?

Sorry, if I still made a mistake. But now I want to have it correct (and not wait another 3 years to redo it^^).

I hope now all maps are correct. Jonathan can also update the map on the page.

Just played Yoshi's Island DS and the background in pic 2 just looks too big compared to the foreground.

So style 1.

The maps look really good. I first thought that there will be only one overworld map or so. But there's even a night version of the overworld map. And also lots of dungeon maps.

It's hard to believe, that this is no real game^^

Nice work, Jonathan!

Funny video. The sound when he picks up a weapon is great. And the scene where one guy pressed the alarm and these black guys were coming.

How can you done Calculations x 20 so fast? My best is 17,00 seconds.

Do you repeat the game until you get lucky with the numbers? I mean it's faster to write only numbers with one digit (0, 1, 2, ...) than numbers with two digits (56, 63, 72, ..).
