Extra Files:

readme_SMTKO.txt

====================================================================================================================

Introduction:

If you're reading this text file, it's because you've downloaded the Super Mario TKO demo 1. Hooray!

This zip file includes:
* smtko_demo_1.ips -- The IPS format of the ROM.
* ivy.asm -- Code for the Ivy monster which walks behind scenery.
* ivy.cfg -- The config file for Ivy (Ivy uses ExGFX104).
* tank.asm -- Code for the windup tank found in the water castle.
* tank.cfg -- The config file for the windup tank (tank uses ExGFX139 and 13A).
* golem_rock.asm -- Code for the rocks thrown by the golem bosses in Flint Hearth.
* golem_rock.cfg -- The config file for the golem rocks (rocks use ExGFX142).
* smtko_boss.txt -- Music for the boss battles in SMTKO, ready for insertion with AddMusic.
* old_smtko.ips -- An extremely old version of the game to show how far it's come! This has free OW roaming enabled.
* readme_SMTKO.txt -- This text file!

In addition to the extra files included in the zip, this hack is left unlocked and open. You're allowed to use any of the graphics or resources however you see fit. You can use SMTKO as a base hack, or you can move one goomba and release it as "SMTKO: Moved Goomba Edition," although you'd probably look like a dork if you did this. The only catch is you must credit Dispari Scuro, Heisanevilgenius, and mention that some of your resources are from SMTKO or you're using it as a base hack.

====================================================================================================================

A brief summary of our goals with SMTKO:

* SMTKO is supposed to feel like its own game, and not just another SMW hack. Some elements were changed. Mario's behavior is more or less in-tact, but we've changed some things to give a more classic feel, such as stompable goombas (read next note), raccoon Mario power-up, and classic fireball kill behavior.

* SMTKO incorporates enemies from previous Mario games. In such instances, the enemies should act very similar to their original behavior. There are some complicated exceptions to this rule, however. For instance, if an enemy is seen in several Mario games with varying behavior, its behavior from the first game it was from is used. An example is Shyguys. Shyguys should act like SMB2, not like SMW2:YI. Additionally, when behavior can't be taken from a game, the next logical step is taken. There was no spinjump in SMB2, so we had to guess, and made Tweeters spinjump-killable.

* Everything in SMTKO should be LOGICAL. If a monster LOOKS like you can jump on it, you can. If an enemy can't be jumped on, it's because it has spikes on it, or is made of fire. There should never be stupid tricks like "blue goombas can't be jumped on" or anything that the player is just forced to "learn" by trying. If a monster can't be jumped on normally, you will be able to spinjump off of it. There are some rare exceptions, and usually those that follow rule 2. For example: Mouser from SMB2 could not be jumped on, even though he has no spikes or anything. When we use Mouser in SMTKO, you won't be able to jump on him with a normal jump.

* SMTKO isn't a difficult hack. The levels shouldn't be all that much harder than the original SMW. Later worlds will be more challenging and lengthy. However, optional levels, such as any obtained via secret exits, will be harder and more complicated than normal levels. We know levels like Bullet Time are difficult, but since they're optional levels, it's okay for them to be harder than most other levels.

* No cheap tricks or unfair secrets. We've taken steps to avoid cliche jerk tricks like invisible coin blocks meant to kill the player, blind jumps (especially those that hide secret exits or pipes that you can only find by suiciding in each pit you find), requiring certain levels to be passed to get through another level (especially switch palaces), or anything that may frustrate and annoy the player.
