M&SG Joins Mario-Mods


Hello everyone, and welcome to my first blog post here. My full username is Mario & Sonic Guy, but I also go by M&SG or MnSG.

I’ve been texture hacking for nearly 2 years now. First was with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, followed by Super Smash Bros. Melee. I then went to doing hacks for Mario Kart Wii. For New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the hacks started out with custom levels, but have advanced to texture hacking as well.

Anyway, here’s a list of the various hacks that I’ve done for Mario Kart Wii and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. For my Melee and Brawl hacks, head to my Custom Textures thread at Kitty Corp..

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Blue & Yellow Koopa Troopas

One of my first textures for this game. Blue replaces red, while yellow replaces green, just like in Super Mario World. The Chain Link Koopas are also recolored.

Super Mario World Yoshis

The original four Yoshis are back. They’ll appear in the order of green, red, blue, and yellow, which is also the chronological order if you enter Star Road from the Donut Secret House in Super Mario World.

Red Larry

Recolored Larry here. Not much else to say.

Spikeless Spike Top

Recolored the Buzzy Beetle so that its shell color matched that of the Spike Top. Note that this texture also affects the Giant Buzzy Beetle.

Dark Bones

Recolored Dry Bones to resemble Dark Bones. Also affects the Giant Dry Bones.

Shadow Bowser

Also known as Dark Bowser, I recolored Bowser to resemble the boss from Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story.

Shadow Bowser Jr.

The son of Shadow Bowser (Dark Bowser) has popped up himself. Apparently the Dark Star affected Bowser Jr. during its reign of terror. Comes included with some recolored Koopa Clown Cars.

Night Backgrounds

bgA: A602, A702, A802, A902, AA02, AB02, AC02
bgB: A602

New Super Mario Bros. Wii was lacking some nighttime related backgrounds, so I decided to make up this background set. It comes included with an XML document designed to temporarily create these files onto the ISO.

Mario Kart Wii

Red Yoshi

My first Mario Kart Wii texture. Recolored Yoshi to be red, and I also modified the vehicles to match his color scheme.

Fire Rosalina

I often wondered what Rosalina would look like if she had a Fire Flower. As a result, I came up with this texture hack.

Red Koopa Troopa

With Koopa Paratroopa absent, I ended up doing this recolor for Koopa Troopa.

Flying Mario

Flying Mario gets to join the Mario Kart GP. Even his vehicles got recolored to match his outfit.

Flying Luigi

Just like with Flying Mario, Flying Luigi also decided to join the race.

Flying Wario

Wario got a Red Star, and he’s become a flying fatso. He also decided to do some racing along the way.

Flying Waluigi

Waluigi also got his hands on a Red Star. Now he’s a threat on the ground, and in the air in a race.

Dark Bones

Dark Bones wanted to race, and it got its wish.

Red Birdo

Birdos aren’t just magenta anteater-like creatures. Other colorations exist as well, such as this red one.

Shadow Bowser Jr.

Shadow Bowser Jr. proves to be quite destructive, even in a race. Watch out for him when he’s riding the wheel. Will his papa enter the fray as well?

Conclusions

Be sure to check back here from time to time, because I’m sure to post more texture hacks here in the future.

    Thanks for adding the jump break, since I wasn't sure how that worked. I'll keep that info in mind for the future.

    You import the first file into Award.szs, and the latter into Driver.szs.

    ISO:\Demo\Award.szs
