Topic: Peardian's map projects in progress and planned

[Peardian]

So, I've found out that Golden Egg is exactly what I could want in a Yoshi's Island level editor: it emulates the way the game renders levels, random elements and all. It's very tempting for me to start using this. Very very tempting. But before I do, I'm going to make absolutely sure it won't mess anything up. If it really is as good as I think it is, I could be finished with Yoshi's Island very very soon.


Edit: It is!


Edit: And just like that, I finished 4-6. Woosh!

Lucky you. There have been a few Sonic the Hedgehog level editor/exporter, but they almost always mess up the priority of some sprites and other little things like that. It's been a while since I've played Yoshi's Island, so looking at the complete map set should bring back some lovely memories!

[Peardian]

Yeah, if it weren't for me finding Golden Egg, this project would surely have lasted into 2013. Anyway, 4-7 is done. Next up is another one of those lovely castles!

Update: 4-8 is done. Time for the Impossible? Maze!

Update: Extra 4 is done. Onto World 5! ...after the weekend.


(2/5) Update: I don't think I'll be able to rip all of the Water Temple before the weekend is over. I only just now got to Dark Link. Looks like OoT is taking a backseat to YI for once!

(2/10) Update: YI 5-1 done! Considering how long this one took me WITH Golden Egg, I can't imagine how long it would have taken without it!

Very excited about the acceleration of these Yoshi's Island maps! That Golden Egg truly has been a great find.

It just makes me depressed as a Wii owner that Nintendo never released this game on the Virtual Console--and at this point looks like they never will.

[Peardian]

Yeah. One downside, though, is that it can't view World 6's special tileset for 6-1 and 6-6, meaning I'll have to do a couple of levels the slow way.

And yeah, I'm disappointed they didn't. Had it shown up, I would have bought it instantly. Of course, having SMA3 on the 3DS is pretty good, too.


Anyway, 5-2 is done. So much snow!

Edit: I would just like to say 5-3 is huge. Like really huge. If it put the level end-to-end, it would probably be the biggest YI map ever.

Update: For those of you who missed it in the other thread, I've submitted all of the mini-maps from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

[Rew]

I can't remember 5-3, but I'm definitely looking forward to World 6's Very Loooooooooong Cave.

[Peardian]

Level 5-3 is the first skiing level. It's really quite gigantic. I am so glad it's done. ^^;;;


Update: Finished 5-4. Probably one of my favorite forts. Next is birds!

Update. Finished 5-5. Definitely one of my favorite levels. Next is clouds!


Updateish: Spring break is this upcoming week, which means I can FINALLY finish the Water Temple!

Notice: The Water Temple is fully ripped. However, I'm taking a short break from mapping this week so I can fully enjoy spring break. Woo~

Edit: Seems I can't get enough of mapping. I went ahead and ripped all of Bottom of the Well, too, meaning I'll have two dungeons to work on.

Update: Finished 5-6!

Update: Finished 5-7!

[Rew]

It looks like Jon's got his work cut out for him next update.

[Peardian]

Yep! By the way, I just finished Extra 5, meaning I'm finally on World 6. This will be interesting.

Update (3/19): Finished 6-1. It actually went very quickly, even without Golden Egg.

Update (3/21): Finished 6-2. This level was rather short, actually!

Update (3/22): Finished 6-3. This level was even shorter!

Edit: Wow, 6-4 is one crazy level. Took me an hour and a half just to get the layout set up, and I'm not even sure it's correct.

Update (3/23): Finished 6-4. I guess this level makes up for all the short levels.

[Rew]

Damn, son! You're going to have this game finished in no time.

Just wondering, are you planning to map the GBA-exclusive bonus levels from the Super Mario Advance version of Yoshi's Island?

[Peardian]

Of course! It says so right in my first post.

By the way, I've finished 6-5!

[Rew]

*facepalm* I didn't even know you were using your original post to announce mapping projects! >_<

Good to see you've decided to take on Master Quest and Majora's Mask after all.

[The Ultimate Koopa]

I can't wait to see what Endless World of Yoshis looks like.

Speaking of which, how come, according to MarioWiki, Secret 5 and Secret 6 have two different names?

Secret 5 is "Fight Toadies w/ Toadies" or "Fight Baddies w/ Baddies"
Secret 6 is "Endless World of Yoshis" or "Crazy Maze Days"

Is this a Europe-American thing?

[Peardian]

I never knew that, hmm. The first pair of names is what I know them as, so the second set must be for the European version. I have to admit, I like their names better!

By the way, I finished 6-8! Onto the final level!


Update: I'm done! It's been three years, but I've finally finished it! Woo!

If there's ever a mappers hall of fame you'll be in the top tier.
