Mario's Keep (Finishing abandoned w7n hack)

[NesDraug]

So I descided to make the Bowser battles a little more interesting. But damn he's throwing lots of hammers.



Is there a way to make Bowser throw just one or two hammers at a time instead?
SMB remodeler doesn't let me change Bowser hammers. 
And I can't seem to find amount of hammers in the Data Crystal rom map either. Ideas?


Edit: Thanks to SpiderDave on Discord.
"Change the value at 0x5121 (+0x10 for header) from 03 to something like 0F"
I did change the value at 0x5131 and it worked.

It is finished and released, you guys!

Ok, so I made a version 1.2 with some bugfix. There are a lot of hidden rooms and warps in this hack and some of them made the game glitch out. Should be taken care of now!

Here's a video of me struggling with my own game.

Since a lot of people have been speedrunning my hack I wanted to get rid of some bugs. And also update with new graphics!
This is Mario's Keep 1,3

I'm also happy to see that I could annoy Kosmic with my game.

Wow! This looks so cool. It's like NES version of Mario Maker now!

Thank you. I'm still playtesting and I have been able to beat the game with two players although there's still potential softlock areas and bits that are perhaps too hard for two players. But since it's beatable I might release it any day now.

I have made a new title screen for the game but want to get permission first before releasing it. Here's the changes I have done. I have remade the title box, making it much closer to how Nintendo might have done it. I added the word "by" before your name but removed the version number because I needed its graphics tile for the title box art. I changed the word "start" to "press start" and centered it. Last, I fixed and readded the top score. If you approve of it, I will release an IPS file.

Have you chatted with w7n?  I am working on a project with him and have direct contact.  I'm pretty sure he has a profile here as well.  I'll point this project out to him next time we chat on Discord.

That looks nice and all and I appreciate your effort and take your commitment as a huge compliment. Good job! I do however think the version number is essential and I actually like the way I did the title screen better, this fix is not really needed and I much rather not tamper with it any more (unless there's a game breaking bug that can easily be fixed)

w7n is much aware of this project and I've had his blessing. He did initially say this was the least interesting of his abandoned projects and I took that as a challenge.
