OMG I figured it out for some reason it doesn't work with the "Super Mario Brothers 2 (Japan) (Alt 1)" rom which is unfortunately the one I need for that cool looking graphic skin, looks like I will be playing it normally now since you can only unlock the 8 stars this way!

Thanks for the reply!

ROM Hacking Discussion / Any easy solution to unlocking the hidden levels in Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)?

« on: November 23, 2020, 04:14:12 pm »

Hey all, for the life of Me I cannot figure out how to use the new recent Super Mario Bros 2 (J) utility that came out just last year to modify the game to have 8 stars on the title screen (Then you can play the secret levels).

I've opened the fds rom into the program and changed it to 8 stars then saved the rom file, but after opening it and multiple tries it doesn't seem to do anything anyone know of any way to do this or perhaps an alternate method to access these levels?

also by any chance would anyone know of a way to add in the super mario bros 2 logo into the title screen?
I used this graphic hack by insectduel https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/223/
but for some odd reason He took out the title screen (I guess for legal reasons?)
Would there be any way to make it so the title screen can be restored?

Thanks in advance

Okay someone really needs to do this hack idea! It would be the BEST way to play Pokemon gen 1 AND BEST OF ALL it would be super easy to do, I would do it if I knew how

- ADD RUNNING SHOES WHILE HOLDING B
- MAKE THE SELECT BUTTON A QUICK CUSTOM BUTTON FOR YOUR BIKE ECT.
- FIND OUT HOW TO APPLY THE FULLY COLORED OVER WORLD FROM THE RED AND BLUE FULL COLOR HACK TO YELLOWS WORLD
- MAKE HMS OVER WORLD ABILITIES ONLY NOT IN BATTLE AND TAKING UP A MOVE SPOT

I found out this wouldn't be that hard at all, I tried to download the pokemon blue full color overworld patch to a pokemon yellow rom and of course it didn't work, but I was curious and thought it might work on other hacks? For example theres this hack called Pokemon Cock version and I figured since it was a hack of blue and red version I wanted to see if it worked and sure enough the game worked in full color! If I was able to do that then im sure it wouldn't be very hard to somehow transfer over that over world color hack over to Yellow version, then from there adding running shoes for the B button I assume wouldn't be too difficult

I have two hack that I WISH I could make happen but what about these

Pokemon Yellow

-running shoes option by pressing B
-colorization of the entire overworld
-ALL original sprites colorized (mix and match and use the best looking pokemon front and back sprites from blue/red/yellow)
-make HM moves separate abilities to be used OUTSIDE of battle only, this would save up so you can have a full 4 moves in battle
-add in the green level up bar in the battle for exp gained
-make all 151 pokemon available to get caught without link cable

Bomberman MAX Blue and Red

-remove all the extra warps at the end of each level that bring you to random levels and just have ONE warp bring you to the next level in order (like every bomberman game does lol)
-perhaps remove the charibom creature aspect? keep him in the game and rescue them at the end of the levels but remove the fighting menus of them and such
