A Plumber For All Seasons




















A Plumber For All Seasons is a hack I’ve worked on for a long time. Each world represents a different season — there’s a Spring world, a Summer world, a Fall world, and a Winter world. (And some more!) Almost all the graphics are custom and hand-made.
A Plumber For All Seasons features: 37 levels with 41 exitsalmost entirely custom graphics, all of them hand-madea focus on interesting, season-themed scenery and fun levelsan original soundtrack by some of SMWC’s finest musiciansrewards and easter eggs for completionists
Changelog (see README for more details): 2021-09-02: made it easier to enter destroyed castles, added a warning about old emulators incorrectly displaying color gradients, as well as some other minor fixes and tweaks2021-07-27: made star coins save individually as you collect them (you no longer have to get them all in a single run! thanks to lx5) and fixed some minor gameplay issues2021-07-05: fixed a star coin not spawning, as well as some minor visual oversights

HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME
This is not a standalone PC game. It is a ROM hack (i.e. an edited version) of the SNES game Super Mario World.
Therefore, it is a game for the SNES.
SNES games can be played on a computer using a ROM (a file that contains all the data from the game cartridge)
and an emulator (a program that loads ROMs and lets you play them as if it were an SNES).
This hack comes in the form of a .bps file. A .bps file is not a ROM - it is a patch, which you apply to
the original game's ROM to turn it into a hack. A .bps file only contains the changes made to the original game.
To turn this .bps file into a ROM you can play in an emulator, do the following:
1. Get a clean (unmodified) ROM of Super Mario World. (It's an .smc or .sfc file).
You'll have to get one yourself.
2. Make sure the ROM is clean. The .bps file only works with a clean ROM.
You can use https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=onlinetools&tool=romclean to check.
3. Open https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=onlinetools&tool=flips,
select the clean Super Mario World ROM as the "Base ROM"
and the .bps file as the "Patch",
then click "Apply Patch".
You can then download the hack as a ROM.
OR, ALTERNATIVELY:
Download Floating IPS from https://smwc.me/s/11474 and run it,
click on "Apply Patch",
then select the .bps file,
then select the clean Super Mario World ROM,
then choose where to save the output file.
The output file is the hack as a ROM.
4. The file you got in step 3 is the hack, in the form of a ROM file.
You can open it in an emulator (such as snes9x or bsnes) to play the hack.
