And it was a public commission, so you can get it here: smwc.me/s/43280

Latest commission out of the oven: Sir Shovalot, a solid entity from the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series that pushes you around when it detects you. It's got some puzzle potential, perhaps? Cute graphics by FNC2002 / Astrakitu! #smw #romhacking

Ok! Gotta polish these a little bit, but the general vibe for the Redrawn Graphics should be mostly done. #mystuff #smw #romhacking

A recreation of the beta wigglers with a wall climbing variant based on an .obj file. #smw #supermarioworld #smwbeta #supermarioworldbeta #romhacking

I do want to make more bosses, but this girl took me a few days of locking in, so I won't be on to the next one immediately 😅 I've also been working on a handful of (smaller and bigger) things behind the scenes, so yeah!

She is very configurable -- you can change the number of attacks per health and which attacks happen, speeds, timers and such. Making all this comprehensible is my biggest hurdle to releasing her right now, haha. But what that means is I hope she can suit a wide range of difficulties.

In homage to dahnamics, who provided SMW Central with many bosses in the early years, including the (infamous) Giant Piranha... These bosses have aged, and the community is long overdue for some better public ones. So to contribute to that, I present the Neo Piranha Plant! 😁 #smw #romhacking

Now behaving a little more! Alright, think I'm done with the foreshadowing. I just wanted to give a shoutout to coin counter debugging before going to bed :P #smw #romhacking

A second frame test. This should be everything I need as far as this guy's graphics go. On to the fun part 👀 #smw #romhacking

020

koopster 🐢 [asm comms open] @koopster.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Maybe I should write about the full process sometime...

040

koopster 🐢 [asm comms open] @koopster.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Ever wondered how the start of sprite coding goes? I always do the graphics routine first, as it's important to have something to look at. Then I write a frame test, which is a simple snippet that make it cycle through all of its possible visual states. No collision or moves yet. #smw #romhacking

We all know you don't place those on lava. So how about some better telegraphing? #smw #romhacking

Not really, but people have been discussing them lately :p

koopster 🐢 [asm comms open] @koopster.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

After some deep discussion in the Central (smwc.me/t/132796), I cooked up a little patch that makes the ~controversial~ castle platforms look a little nicer. And it doesn't break the regular ones, either! I'll upload it tomorrow though since it's pretty late 😵 #smw #romhacking

By the way, if you wanna try this system out but are stopped by a certain sprite you want to use being for dsx only, I'm still taking conversion requests! Want my system to be as broadly useful as possible :)

koopster 🐢 [asm comms open] @koopster.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Sprites in show are by: - Seesaw platform: Sonikku (@spritersonikku.bsky.social) - Spinning Log and Woozy Guy: smkdan - Chomp Rock, Blow Hard and Wild Piranha Plant: edit1754

koopster 🐢 [asm comms open] @koopster.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Haha, oops 😅 I've got you covered though, dsu has an !unpatch_dsx option! (Also it doesn't really hurt to keep dsx installed anyway)

110

koopster 🐢 [asm comms open] @koopster.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Hey! I've been working on a dynamic sprites system to replace dsx for over a month now. That + private comms left me with no time to post anything here... But anyway, you should go check it out! Here: pk.muncher.se/dsu If you used dsx before, I'm sure you'll like the upgrade :) #smw #romhacking

Inspired by Iceguy's hammer sprite (smwc.me/s/3307), I'm working on a new version that - displays while held - generates a Yoshi earthquake instead of just killing what's directly under it - is not associated to a powerup and can be dropped Soon: buffed variation on extra bit 👀 #smw #romhacking

koopster 🐢 [asm comms open] @koopster.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Thanks for testing! I forgot about the explosion noise oops, I updated the file (again) and now the sound should play.

010

koopster 🐢 [asm comms open] @koopster.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Thank you! Using these to blow up things is a pretty nice idea - you can tweak how long it takes to explode (and speeds and such) so it's probably possible to pull it off in a not annoying way. Also I promise dsx is not that bad anymore 😅

koopster 🐢 [asm comms open] @koopster.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Tentative release: smwc.me/s/42142 Let me know if it breaks 😅

Just another day in Soda Lake... wait, they exploded before? 😳 #smw #romhacking

Surprise Patreon post drop! I decided to talk a bit (but ended up talking extensively) about SMW's firework sprite and the challenges I faced to make them usable recently. Hope you have a nice read! Here it is: www.patreon.com/posts/154088...

Added (optional) flashing, a sound effect toggle and improved the horizontal spawning of the fireworks! #smw #romhacking This was commissioned, but the requester allowed me to release this to the public, so it should be out for everyone soon :)

SPOOKY! A keyhole that only appears depending on a flag, such as the P-switch or ON/OFF. It also fixes the multiple keys bug optionally. This was asked for in the forum, and I couldn't find something like it, so I cooked it up this morning. #smw #romhacking

Quickie: a patch that adds an outline to collected moons. Somehow this didn't exist yet? #smw #romhacking

koopster 🐢 [asm comms open] @koopster.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

To answer the question, I think a huge next step for SMW hacking would be to turn UberASMTool into an all-in-one tool by integrating custom sprites and blocks to it. I think there's been some talk about this before, so it's worth consulting the current maintainer (Fernap)!

As my latest commission, a recreation of the classic Orbox recreation from Super Mario :P :P :P. Which is like, the hardest puzzle of all time This version also features angled tiles that instantly bounce the ball in a different direction. That won't get too complicated at all! #smw #romhacking

koopster 🐢 [asm comms open] @koopster.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Wish I coulda been showing more here, but real life, commissions and also moderation have been keeping me busy and tired. But I'll say I'll try to release some (maybe all?) of my shown-but-yet-not-released content this C3, so stay tuned for that! (A hot decade passed since my last C3 thread oh man)

What else is cool about this? - Automatic detection of pole height - Configurable tape speed - Calculation of score based on relative height of the bar. I wonder if a frame perfect hit at the top scores a 1-up? 👀 #smw #romhacking
