That does look awesome. I take it that's a boss in Super Mario RPG?

I think these look great, Peardian! Alas, I'm one of those rare schmucks who never got around to playing Super Mario RPG, though I do plan to play through it one of these days.
I also really liked the 3D items from Super Mario Bros. 2! You should do more of those too.

I think Terra makes some excellent points, and in general I would agree that an established mapmaker's maps (particularly ones honored as Maps of the Month) should stand--but in this particular case, it's been since 2004, both since the maps were made and honored. That's almost a decade. Mapping has improved considerably since then, so (with all due respect to Stefan) I would like to see SNESmaster's SMW maps go up.
Of course there's also a personal bias here in that I recently played SMW a few months ago for the first time in several years, and I found it slightly jarring (and annoying) that I couldn't remember where power-ups were--and there were no maps I could find online that would tell me which question blocks held power-ups!

Ah, oh well. To be honest, I'm more excited about Majora's Mask maps anyway!

At last! And very well deserved.
And I'm definitely looking forward to the Master Quest maps. (And Majora's Mask. And the remaining bonus levels of Yoshi's Island GBA, etc.)
@Grizzly: Yeah, you definitely owe it to yourself to finish. The game gets even better after Jabu-Jabu's Belly.

Just beat Super Mario Galaxy! Heh, only took me over five years to actually start playing this true gem of a game.
And I feel I've hardly scratched the surface! I have 105 Power Stars, so now I need to get the 15 Purple Comet stars. Then after that, I have to do it ALL over again as Luigi, all 120 (I hear everything is harder as Luigi?). Then there's some sort of post-game award I think that awards each brother an additional Power Star each, bringing the grand total up to 242. Whew!
As for Sunshine, I ended up succeeding at gaining all 120 Shine Sprites in that one. I really liked it! The game was a rousing challenge, and while I'm glad the series didn't end up going in that direction, it (like Majora's Mask in the Zelda series) was a nice departure from the norm. I really liked the tropical feel and how the scenarios stayed true to each region of the island, but then adding old-fashioned platforming in the secret areas. Sunshine actually surprised me by how much I ended up liking it.
But Galaxy might just become my favorite game in the entire Mario series. We shall see!

62 Shines in! (Well, 76 if you count my 140 uncashed blue coins.)
I definitely like this game a lot more than I thought I would. And it beats Super Mario 64 on the basis of controls and inventiveness, I think. I really like the blend of main tropical settings, then those separate secret levels where the game developers really went all out for uber-platforming experiences.
I've totally cleaned out Bianco Hills, Ricco Harbor, Gelato Beach, and Pinna Park at this point. We'll see how I do with Sirena Beach, Noki Bay, and Pianta Village (and of course Corona Mountain after all that).

Oh God, that sounds like the worst. >_<
Yeah, I'm currently going back and playing all the main series Mario games, and Sunshine was one of the few I haven't been very excited about. In happier news, I have 120 Stars in SM64, have sent Bowser packing, and reunited with Yoshi! This game has always been horribly difficult for me, so despite people's warnings about SMS, after 100%ing SM64, I sort of feel like I can do anything right now.

Super Mario 64.
A bit shamefully, I've never beaten this game. As in, ever. I came pretty close when I first played it back in 2000. I'd gathered around 50 or 60 Power Stars and had beaten the first two Bowser battles. But I was interrupted when my brother introduced me to that Zelda 64 game, and I never looked back.
Until now! I've been at it since Thanksgiving and currently have 112 Stars. (I'm determined to collect all 120 before I finish.) I cleared Tick Tock Clock tonight, and that place is beastly. All that remains now are Rainbow Ride and Bowser in the Sky!
After this, I'm moving on to Super Mario Sunshine, a game that I've never so much as touched before. (I only hope the play control is better than in SM64.)

Today's the day!
Of course for me, I probably won't be getting one until March because I can't afford--and I'm not likely to be able to find one until then even if I did have the money to shell out.

I think I heard this concert is coming to Atlanta? I'll have to make a trip to see it. I won't need any snow tires, though.
I guess that's the nice thing about living in the South. No need for snow tires or the like.

Ah, you're back! Yeah, I bet you did need a nice extended break after OoT.
Speaking of which, in the spirit of those maps, I've decided to post a list of Master Quest maps that I can cross off once you're done:
The Majora's Mask list I think will be more fun, though.
Also looking forward to seeing what you do with Wario Land: Shake It!
