DO NOT use subfolders! JJ2 & Captain Cook can’t find them if they are in subfolders. ;)

If it’s Multiple do I review both the Tileset and Level?

This level pack consists of one tileset, two levels and two converted music files.
The tileset used is “Super Mario Bros. / Doki Doki” by the author himself (increases my rating) and it looks quite good as i mentioned in the review for it.
Well, the actual levels don’t look too beautiful: the first one is a small “intro” level (playing time: 5 seconds) and the second one is a bit too confusing (many doors and stuff). Design and eyecandy are pretty much so-so. I admit that i like the actual idea behind this but the resulting level pack has still too many annoying bugs.

Important note: the next level settings are all wrong. Seems like the author sometimes used subdirectories (even in the ZiP file). As iCeD mentioned: you should NEVER DO THAT. Please :-)
Besides, the funky chiptune music doesn’t play.[This review has been edited by Aiko]

Well allow me to be the first to say I don’t really like this much. It was pretty simple, some bad level settings (NEVER EVER use subdirectories! Leads to lots of problems!), and it was.. well, boring. It has a few good sides (such as… well, I’ll think about it.) but aside of that there is no real reason to download this. Sorry.

Great shots, what’s going on here? This is the THIRD level I’ve downloaded tonight that is NOT compatible with 1.23, despite the information above. Could we watch that a little closer or something people?

This is a TSF pack of Super Mario Brothers 2 for the Regular Nintendo System. Keep in mind that these levels are UNORIGINAL. Thats right, they are copied from the original game.

Just something to keep in mind.

Now…The grapichs are a BIT choppy, and the level setting was wrong (Now thats just evil) and some enemy substitutions were….uncreative.

Thats my 2 Cents.

Copy the Music file in the same Directory with the *.exe-file, so, it must work…

Nothing much to add to Aiko’s review, has some nice tiles (a little choppy), also includes a nice little example level with music (that doesn’t play)

Overall I’m sure someone would want to d/l this.

I have to agree with Aiko on every part of his review. The tileset even if Pixel size was better, they are still kinda….Low in eyecandy (But NES games were low on eyecandy :-) (Perhaps a Mario All Stars version would be prettier….)

P.S. I doubt I will ever finish my SMW pack. It takes too long to copy from the book.

Good tileset containing 190 tiles from an old Nintendo game (as far as i know: i never owned consoles…only emulators :-).
It looks pretty funky, coloured and has a fair amount of basic structures and objects from the original game. Of course, the quality of the images (pixel size) isn’t too great but thats not the authors fault but a problem of Nintendo’s programmers a few years ago :-)
The ZiP archive also includes a nice SP example level which tries to show all main aspects of the tileset. The music file that should play the original theme from the game, doesn’t work because the author (who seems to be from Switzerland by the way) set it wrong in the level properties…

Overall, i think a talented level builder will be able to create some nice levels using this. All you tileset freaks: DOWNLOAD NOW!
