SMBX has (substantially) more copyright infringement going on - and hosted on the site. I mean, if Nintendo seriously issued out a C&D to him, why haven't they came around to here yet?īecause there's nothing to send a C/D for on SMWCentral. Pretty sure that knuckles86 just didn't want to work on the program anymore and just used that as a convenient excuse.
I believe that game is a fine example of what can (and can't) be done with the engine. X game recently, called Super Talking Time Bros. If you're still on the fence, Raocow made a Let's Play of a decent Super Mario Bros. If you want to do more fancy stuff, you'd definitely be better off sticking with Lunar Magic. X offers a rather wide variety of easy-to-use tools to make that a possibility, but, for the most part, you can't expand outside that toolbox too much. If you want to make a simple, vanilla Mario game, Super Mario Bros. X are hardcoded in, and although you can tweak their behavior to a minor extent, you'll never be able to pull off the creative things you can with ASM code. X, with an easily digestible drag-and-drop interface that takes much less experience than Lunar Magic's more complicated interface.Īs Adam has stated however, the NPCs of Super Mario Bros. A person can have as many objects/NPCs on the screen at once as they so wish, and it's very user-friendly compared to Super Mario Bros.

X, being a PC game, possesses none of the limitations of the Super Nintendo console. Which engine you should use depends mostly on your intent. You can also not use a world map and make a hub level, using a star system similar to SM64's. The world maps also have a 'unlimited' size (nobody discovered the maximum size yet iirc, but there's enough that you will probably never see the limit for the map. There are a lot of unique characters and powerups though, so this isn't really a problem. The gameplay is really limited, you can change nothing from the original gameplay. You can use any sprite or graphics from the game as you want, there isn't any tileset specific graphics/sprites or anything in the game. You can replace the enemies's GFX and change their codes a bit, so most enemies from SMW can be recreated there.
In SMBX there are almost all graphics from SMB1/2/3/W ready for use, and if you're not using any of them, you can make different stuff to replace them. I also use SMBX, and there is enough to make a SMW-styled game. Also, using SMW as en engine is funner IMO, because you're pretty limited and you have to think of ways to make X thing happen. If I were to pick one, I'd go with Super Mario World, because I can a lot more stuff and also, while ROMs are illegal, hacking itself isn't and SMBX was taken down by Nintendo's lawyers, as mentioned earlier. Also, there really aren't that many SMW objects to be able to make an SMW (note, I used an, because you say an Ess-Em-Double-You) styled game. X is really not a Mario game, as there are elements from Zelda and Super Metroid. SMBX can play MP3 quality music, while SMW can't. Basically, SMBX allows only that much NPCs (as they are called), while SMW can have whatever the SNES allows, which trust me, is a LOT.
SMW can have sprites with thousands and thousands of different behaviours, graphics, sizes, etc. whether or not a para-koopa flies like should or does it follow you like a Phanto), their graphics and sizes. The only thing that you can change with them is some of their behaviours (i.e. SMBX allows only x amount of enemies and objects. SMBX was taken down by Nintendo itself, so I don't think it would be wise to have it. As a user who has used SMBX, let me name a few things.
