Memories.

Ahh~ There you go with your isometric Mario works again~

Honestly though it all looks real nice~

Yep, just gotta be in the mood for them~

Thank you. =3

Yep. Every platform seems to be in the right place. Good job! I would have never expected you to recreate mario stages

That was the idea, I tried to make things as correct as possible.

I can see the Youtuber "Level UP" using this~

Whoa, you've heard of him too?

I did too! Little out of place for me here, since my character is an Arctic Wolf.
But lava stages in Super Mario tend to be some of the most difficult ones.

Not this one though, I think Lethal Lava Land comes around halfway during the game.

This is excellent. A good representation of two of the very best Mario titles. : )

That was the idea, thanks. =3

You're welcome. : )

Wow! It looks like its straight out of a prima guide!

Woah, getting some strong roller coaster tycoon vibes here

With lava everywhere it must be one of Vinny or Joel's rollercoasters from Vinesauce. =P

Cool, I love map stuff like this.

Looks like it would fit right in in Mario RPG.

Give the exact isometric look it is similar. =3

Far from perfect my ass! This is spot on, you could legit use this as a guide!

Was there any thought processes on where to place the floating cages that move back and forth? Most notably the bully trip near the top of the map.

The one by the log I think only triggers when you step on it, so I THINK it's in the right spot, the one at the top I am unsure if it moves freely or if it too is triggered when you step on it. I didn't have my N64 plugged in to accurately check, so all I could go off of was YouTube videos.

I'm getting convinced that you're just using Paint.net to cheat, and I bet you're not telling.

Ya know as I look at this again, it looks like it can be a Level in Super Mario RPG

This is pretty amazing stuff, did you have any sort of reference to go by, or did you do it by eye and memory?
Comparing it to the actual 3D model, it's remarkably accurate.

I had a few things.
https://www.mariowiki.com/images/8/.....a_Land_Map.PNG Though small it worked somewhat well for at least as size and spacing references. I know that's the DS version's map but it's still very similar.
I also had an isometric view of the level that was likely used in a strategy guide or something like that.
Lastly I also referred to YouTube videos. One was very curious since the red coin placement was VERY different:
https://youtu.be/KxvsFGGMdSc?t=2m41s

I expected certain things to be slightly out of place since I had to resize certain geometry as it seemed too large. But man seeing that comparison I did get things pretty close. =O

The DS map is a little different yeah, but I've no idea if they made actual changes to the layout.
That is a weird thing to do in your walkthrough video, deliberately falsify certain parts of the game for a "spot the difference" thing. That's going to confuse the hell out of people that don't check the description when they just wanna look up quick gameplay of something.

It's remarkably close that's for sure. :3

Since my placement for the geometry was more based on the DS map it seems as though not much has changed. As said I personally resized certain things, but looking at the comparison one thing that I made too small were the shallow pyramid like structures near the trio of Bullies near the top.
Yeah, it'd be different if you had a video of 1 star per level and you change something with which you want people to spot the difference in each stage, but to randomly throw it in because is rather odd.

This is also considering that those shallow pyramids continually submerge themselves in the lava, so their appearance varies.
It's very odd, and honestly I don't approve of it if you don't make this clear in the video itself. I'd probably just end up ignoring that channel entirely for daft things like semi-accurate walk throughs.

Same for the other rectangular structures that dip in and out of the lava as well. Heck even the Bowser 15 puzzle would be in many different variations. =P
Indeed, even a simple (Spot the difference) in the title would be enough, not many people really read descriptions.

Yeah, the puzzle could be in many, many different arrangements, but only the ones that actually happen in-game on the set pattern. So it's actually pretty finite.
Doing a spot the difference across the entirety of the game would be absurd too, and most viewers aren't going to sign on for that.
Isn't the point of a walkthrough to confirm certain information you aren't sure about anyway? This whole thing ruins that.

By the way, it's pretty easy to view 3D models on a Windows 10 machine.
https://www.models-resource.com/nin.....4/model/18364/
If you download the ZIP archive to a folder, and open the .OBJ file, it will load the 3D object into Paint 3D or another 3D Viewer program in Windows 10. No extra downloads necessary.

And really even in a 15 puzzle there are certain combinations that are impossible as well. If you had a 15 puzzle where the 14 and 15 are swapped like this for instance: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe.....-15-Puzzle.jpg It is impossible to solve it in that traditional set up, mathematically impossible.
Yeah I agree, for me since I didn't read the description since I had no need to I though that there was some other reasoning to the red coin variance.

Well I had no idea that existed before now, I found the textures but I wasn't aware the entire model existed.
I have no real need for that now though. =P

So it stands that there would be half as many impossible combinations as there are possible combinations, all based on the placement of one tile relative to the space.
At least the red coin variance is not some sort of unsolved gaming mystery like regional differences or beta builds. :P

These models are a somewhat more recent thing, I think it might pre-date you starting on this project but I dunno.
The convenient 3D tools in Windows 10 though are much more recent.

Are you gonna do the inside of the volcano?

There is something glorious about this scale and size. Thanks foe showcasing the machinations of your mind.

Lethal Lava Land is just a bunch of platforms on a flat plane of lava, with one set of things in a volcano.

Nicely done. It kinda looks like something that would be in a strategy guide.

This is rather Super Mario rpg-like.

Granted any isometric view could be that way.
But yes, it is very much like Super Mario RPG.

amazing! what's this gonna be for? any plans?

It's just an art project and nothing more.
