Story

Hey everyone, I'm new here so many of you won't know me, but anyways heres my idea for a hack. Ever played Paper Mario on the N64? If you have then you'll know what I'm talking about. So here's the basic plot, Bowser steals this item known as a Star Rod which grants him the power to be invincible. Meanwhile Mario and Luigi are given an invitation to Princess Peach's party. Then Bowser's fortress lifts Princess Peach's castle into the sky. Then Bowser appears and fights Mario. Mario ends up losing because Bowser is now Invincible. So Mario ends up falling off and ends up somewhere in the forest. He is then found by a Goomba Girl. He then is brought to a Goomba Village. Mario is still unconscious and he gets a vision from the 7 Star Spirits and they tell him that the only way for him to go to the Star Summit. Mario then regains consciousness and heads towards the Star Summit to learn how to defeat Bowser and what he has done.

Features
Start as Mario or Luigi!
-The Intro will no longer say Boy or Girl, just Mario and Luigi
Super Mario Characters
-That's right, Mario characters in a pokemon game.
But it won't be all just Mario characters. I'll be sure to add in some surprises.
Long Storyline
-The game will consist of 8 chapters. But I'll be removing some from the original and adding new ones.
New Characters
-There will be some new characters in this game that weren't in the original.
New Side quests
-Apart from the original story, there will be a load of side quests. Some which will help you on your journeyl
New "Pokemon"
-Well I wouldn't consider them to be Pokemon...
New Areas (Not in the original Paper Mario)
-There will be some new places to visit that weren't in the original.
New Bosses
-There will be some new Bosses in this game with a whole load of new Sub Bosses.
More Enemies/Rivals
-In the original Paper Mario, you only had one rival, but in this one there will be a significantly greater amount of rivals. That and the Rival you name in the beginning.
More Partners
-In the original Paper Mario you could only get 8 Partners. But in this one there will be over 100 different kinds of partners that you could befriend or "Recruit".
Note: The Pokeball WILL have a use, but it won't be easy to capture your enemies.
New Music
-This may or may not be obvious, but there will a huge load of new music. Nearly EVERY track in this game will be replaced, and there will not only be Super Mario music like one would expect.

He probaly would, 'cause the OW's look too
"Pokemon-ish".

 

[vioeugen]

Good work this is the best hack of mario and luigi ;D!!If u want i can test it ;0.

 

[Milk]

Wow xD
I can't wait to play this xD
Do you need any help with the graphics? ;o

 

[Alice]

Wow, that's actually pretty cool.

I've never even thought of trying to turn it into another game.

 

[slicernicer]

luigi should be electric and fighting, because he uses thunder hands in Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga

(Whoah, haven't used this account for AGES)

Looking pretty damn good, though the text on the Pokemon description should be changed.

Still looking good though.

Yea, the only problem is I can't sprite for crap :\

:laugh: That was from the original thread. I plan on changing the OW's though like stated above. I suck a spriting. :paranoid:

Of course, I'll accept any help with graphics. I definitely need help from spriters and such.

Quite true. Though I'm sticking with Grass for now. You'll have the ability to "Evolve" Luigi by using items resembling a Thunder Stone. This makes it so that Luigi or Mario could evolve into any of the following by using said items.
Hammer Suit - Frog Suit - Tanooki - Winged etc.

Yea, I'll be doing some major text changes. Seeing how Super Mario really isn't a "Pokemon" That and some back poses for trainers.

oh shnap I remember this! Best of luck mate ;

 

[Milk]

Im not a spiter xD
I mostly do graphics ;3

 

[EBAiscool]

Many people attempted to make a Pokemon hack with Mario characters, but it seemed they all sucked and failed. But, this however, seems excellent! I think you should continue this. Maybe:
Change the OWs so they REALLY do look like Mario/Luigi. Check out nikkonolasco's mario sprites.
Goomba/Koopa sprites are great.
I hope you can send out the beta soon :)

Thanks,

The problem with using Nikkonalasco's Mario is that it's an 8 bit version. It will look a tad "out of place" with the rest of the game. But I'll look forward to changing the OWs. But at the moment it's not on my TOP priority list. As far as the release of the Beta, I won't make any promises but I'll have it within a month. But I will release a Pre-Beta so you won't have to wait a whole month to try it out. :classic:

I am still open to some suggestions .

IN OTHER NEWS....


I still need someone to help with music looping! I've tried Clonex's guide but I havn't gotten it to work :disappoin. So if someone is willing to help me or loop feel free to give me a PM :classic:

Also I need some Spriter's and maybe some Mappers. But mainly I'll need spriter's, since I suck at spriting :P.

 

[jaypokemaster]

why would u make luigi be the girl u should have chosen peach or daisy maybe just any good female character

 

[Surf]

I loved the look of this hack as soon as I saw it.
You might want to rip some graphics from Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.
Good luck!

Well Princess Peach is kidnapped in this game so that's a problem there. Daisy on the other hand would work but I felt that Luigi needed a bigger "role".

Yea, In fact I have ripped most of the sprites that I'll need from MLSS. Now all I need are just some sprites which can't be ripped.

 

[jaypokemaster]

well that makes sense the hack looks really nice though. one more thing though are u gonig to be able to catch enemies or just get mario/luigi and get more characters as u progerss through the game.

I haven't yet decided on how to work that out. Right now I have 10 Planned partners that you'll receive from following the storyline, and I have 30 more planned at the moment that you'll receive from side quests. That's 40 to choose from and at that some will be able to "Power Up" into different forms, some even having 5 to choose from such as the Yoshi. But I'll go into detail later. So with all the forms you'll have an option of 60 to choose from.

 

[Milk]

Maybe there is a new system xD
Like you can give food to goombas or "wild pokemons" and they will join your team? xD

 

[jaypokemaster]

since there is no elite four and no gym battles will u just be battling boss's from mario games or will u put in some enemies like from other nintendo games or is this 100% mario
