Modding Smash Games - Types of Changes
January 21, 2021
I’d like to republish an old post of mine from the Smash Bros. Legacy blog. It seems relevant again since modding new characters and stages into Melee is beginning to be considered as the new standard.

When it comes to modifying tournament legal stages in Project M builds, Legacy TE’s stance had never changed from its conception: characters and stages from 3.6 are the only acceptable versions of Project M content for tournament use. TE was made with this ethos in mind, and had never wavered, despite numerous attempts by the community to use unfinished leaked Project M content or c...

  • Are 3D Mario Games Getting Shorter? A Super Mario Odyssey Analysis and Review (some light spoilers)
    I purchased Super Mario Odyssey on April 16, 2017 on pre-order.

    The game arrived on October 28th, 2017.

    I completed Super Mario Odyssey on October 28th, the same day.

    This is going to be a different review than others. I’m going to look at gameplay elements from Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy in order to compare and contrast them with Odyssey.

    The question I’m going to try and answer is: how was I able to beat Mario Odyssey in a single day?

    Beating 3D Mario Games I think to start, we need to look at what “beating” a game really means these days. In Super Mario 64, you could complete the game’s story with a minimum of 70 stars (assuming you’re not using speedrunning strategies). But there were 120 stars in total, giving you a special ending.

    Mario Sunshine on the other hand, used a few key objectives in all levels (Shadow Mario fights) as the requirement to advance to fighting Bowser, where at a minimum you could get away with about 50 Shinesprites. There is a brief special screen at the end for getting all 120 Shinesprites in this game.

    In Galaxy, you need...
  • Nintendo on Mobile
    There are many that have been saying that Nintendo on mobile was inevitable and that they should have done it a long time ago.

    And to those people, I say yep, you’re right, it happened.

    But that’s not necessarily a good thing.

    Look at Pokemon Go, a tremendous success in the beginning. It exploded and for a while everyone was pretending they were a fan of the Pokemon franchise.

    But that soon faded and now it’s not as big as it was.

    And pretty soon Mario Run will come out on iOS and Android
 what some would consider an accomplishment for Nintendo, I consider it a tragedy.

    Mobile games have rarely done a good job of competing with full-on console or PC games. They are abbreviated experiences, nothing more than time-wasters, compared to something like a Legend of Zelda, or Metroid Prime, or Harvest Moon. Clash of Clans, Angry Birds, and Plants vs. Zombies do not have the lasting appeal of the former.

    I’m reluctant to see Nintendo on mobile because one of my favorite parts of Nintendo games are their timelessness and carefully-crafted feel. Pokemon Go is a step backwards in a significant wa...

    We’re proud to announce that SmashCafĂ©, the Partnered Discord server, is here!

    What is SmashCafé?

    It is a Discord server for Super Smash Bros. players and creators.

    What can you do at SmashCafé?

    Discuss your favorite Smash games with other fans and enter matchmaking chats to battle other players. We also provide a curated set of announcement channels where top Smash Bros. creators post their content.

    What makes SmashCafé different from other Smashcords?

    1. Discord Partnered - this means higher bit-rate voice channels, trusted admin and moderation team, and safe-for-work server content.

    2. Partnered with Smash Creators - Smash content creators post their new content directly in the server + add the announcement channels to your own Discord servers if you’d like.

    3. Every Smash game covered - whether you want to discuss Smash 64, Melee, Brawl, Project M, Wii U...
