Duke it out on the training course from the Super Mario Bros. movie in Scepter and I's latest stage! The stage cycles through three different backgrounds, imitating a montage like in the film, and comes with an 8-bit rendition of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero".

As always, we hope you enjoy!

Another winner.

Just a couple of things:
- The mushroom in the front layer does more bad than good I think (I pick on distractions a lot, heh). You could keep the idea but put it between the chars and the dancing NPC's or so
- The chars are a bit too high on the screen

The dream is nothing yet drive us to the end.

That's a really cute stage. With 3 different "versions", in IKEMEN GO you could use one per round.

I assume you made the characters so high up in the stage because of the mushroom, which is actually a distraction as PotS mentioned. But if you want to keep it the way it is, you could use a trick to make them transparent when they pass in front of the characters. Something like this:

Code:

[BG Mushroom]
type		= normal
spriteno	= 3,0
start		= -1000,150
delta		= 1,1
velocity	= -2
mask		= 1
tile		= 1,0
tilespacing	= 2660,0
layerno		= 0

[BG Mushroom]
type		= normal
spriteno	= 3,0
start		= -1000,150
delta		= 1,1
velocity	= 2
mask		= 1
tile		= 1,0
tilespacing	= 2660,0
layerno		= 0


[BG Mushroom3]
type		= normal
spriteno	= 3,0
start		= -1000,150
delta		= 1,1
velocity	= -2
mask		= 1
tile		= 1,0
tilespacing	= 2660,0
layerno		= 1
trans = addalpha
alpha = 256,158


[BG Mushroom4]
type		= normal
spriteno	= 3,0
start		= -1000,150
delta		= 1,1
velocity	= 2
mask		= 1
tile		= 1,0
tilespacing	= 2660,0
layerno		= 1
trans = addalpha
alpha = 256,158

- For the screenshot, zoffset = 206.
- And since the floor is lit, I think it makes sense that there was no shadow.
- I would advise not to use "spr = stages/name.sff", but rather "spr = name.sff". For users who organize their stages into subfolders, this causes a crash.
- The music is almost 10 mb, in ogg with barely noticeable compression, it goes to less than 4 mb.

One day someone will rip the Inuyasha stages... Not today nor tomorrow, probably not even in this decade. But you know, someday... :')

That stage is good.. not sure if you use Ikemen but that idea of a different 1 per round would work better IMO because it just abruptly changes with no real transitional fluidity. If not an Ikemen method, I’d actually prefer them to be 3 separate stages

You shouldn't use full alpha source for the layers in front. You can see that yours is much brighter than the original. Think I usually use 128,128.
Still looks distracting though.

I took it from a dark stage that uses an extra layer behind with sub.

But for this stage "128,128" looks nice indeed.

I must continue my training...

Cool and original. My suggestion would be if you wanted to take advantage of 1.1, I'd add parallax to the floor and scale delta to the blocks. You do parallax on 1.0, but animated parallax would require bgctrl's. It can be done tho. And blocks provide an easy opportunity to use scale delta because of the straight lines. Couple these two things together and you can create some pretty cool "3D" effects.

Do your best to become stronger. Become stronger, so you can do your best.

Mugen is a way for me to remain nostalgic with all of the dream matches I cooked up as a kid. It's also what I call a "Digital Action Figure Collection."

Hey everyone, I'm sorry for going awol again. I hope to have an update addressing the feedback given soon (once again thank you guys!).

I actually did try my hand at parallax floors with the Studiopolis stage Scepter and I did a few years ago. Unfortunately, I did end up skipping it because I wanted to keep the 1.0 and 1.1 versions as consistent as possible with each other, and I'm honestly a complete dullard when it comes to anything involving bgctrls. Another reason is most of Scepter and I's work is stylistically based on Waku Waku 7, which doesn't have any 3D parallax effects in it's backgrounds.

If there are any examples of 1.0 stages with animated parallax floors though, I wouldn't mind having another look and I see if I can actually learn how it works this time around.

You have to animate them manually by hiding and showing the sprites sequentially. This stage does that with the water for example.

Hey everyone! Sorry for leaving this stage without an update for so long, that changes today!

- Stage now includes separate def files for each time of day
- Changed the music file to ogg
- Lowered the characters position on screen
- Added a transparent effect to the mushroom
- Removed shadows

Sadly, I didn't get to adding any parallax effects yet, but...
