<![CDATA[ Luigibonus Website - News]]>Thu, 19 Nov 2020 14:45:07 -0800Weebly<![CDATA[The Custom Music Database!]]>Sat, 26 May 2018 19:59:27 GMThttps://luigibonus.weebly.com/news/the-custom-music-databaseHey, level designers! You may have noticed this already under the "Extra's" tab from the website since, well, over a year ago, but I never announced it here. So here we go.

The Custom Music Database is a website full of already recorded, edited and looped custom music ready to be used in your level! In case you don't feel like downloading a song, editing it your own, and searching a host to upload it, this site is the perfect solution - all of that is already done for you!

There's a varied amount of custom music on the site - you can sort them all by category/theme (for example grassland, cave, volcano, etc). There's even music for events - music for certain sections of a level - for example, raising lava sections or a section where you have to be really careful.


Check out the site here!
Custom Music is currently compatible with Super Mario Flash 2, Super Mario Flash 3, Super Mario Flash 2: Jungle Edition, and soon Super Mario Flash 2: Retro Edition (yes, that's still happening!)
Remember, you can also check out the custom music tutorial for help adding music to your level!

With a stunning 28 backgrounds to work with, Candy Edition is the first Ver.E SMF1 Edition, meaning you'll have a lot more themes, tilesets, enemies and music to work with, while keeping the simplicity SMF1 is known for!

In case you're unfamiliar with Ver. E, it's an extended version of SMF1 made by Hiro, and it adds a LOT of stuff to SMF1! Even without the ability to use custom backgrounds and custom music, there's a lot of things to work with in this version and its editions in the future.

In Candy Edition, you'll find... well, a lot of candy themed stuff, of course! You can create vanilla levels, donut bridges over syrup lakes, a level entirely made of flowers (there are plenty of flowers!), have the player go on a journey through a beehive, celebrate Christmas, mix up cheese with Oreo's... or bake a huge cake in the sky! And all of that can be done in 15 different themes to choose from, with most themes having several backgrounds too. The themes include:

  1. Candy Overworld
  2. Candy Mountains
  3. Honey Forest
  4. Candy Castle
  5. Christmas
  6. Candy Galaxy
  7. Cheese Hills
  8. Syrup Underground
  9. Sugar Hills
  10. Cloudy Sky
  11. Candy Cartoon
  12. Sugar Fields
  13. Choco Skies
  14. Syrup Sea
  15. Candy Factory
So, what are you waiting for? Check out and get level making in this new edition right here!

If you find any problems, like tiling cut-offs, feel free to let me know on my Level Palace profile or in the SMF1: Candy Edition comment section (you can find it at the bottom of the page). I'll try to fix them in a future update! For now, have fun in this delicious new edition!
]]><![CDATA[Coming soon: SMF1 Candy Edition!]]>Sun, 29 Jan 2017 13:55:26 GMThttps://luigibonus.weebly.com/news/coming-soon-smf1-candy-editionDo you love candy? And Mario? Then I have some sweets news for you! Super Mario Flash 1 is getting a new edition, called Candy Edition! This edition will, of course, be themed around vegetables. Yeah, well, that may or may not be true...

Actually, it will be themed around the world of sugar, syrup and chocolate! That's not the only good good news however. SMF1 has gotten a major update not long ago, now called SMF1 Ver.E, that added a LOT of new tilesets, backgrounds, music tracks and a new enemy to the game! SMF1: Candy Edition will actually run on the Ver.E engine, so there's more content available right from the start.

This edition started development some week ago, and you can find some early screenshots on the official page for the edition. Once the game is finished, you will be able to play the game there as well! The game is expected to be finished somewhere in the upcoming February. Check the SMF1: Candy Edition (Official Page) page often if you're interested, as development updates and new screenshots will soon be posted there regularly.

However, if you look at the tileset for the first time, it can be very confusing. So that means - time for a guide!

This guide goes for both SMF2 & 3, since the bush tiles are the same, just a different color green. Big bushes can be used for plenty of levels - like grasslands, overgrown castles, grassy caves, etc - so it's very convienent to know how to tile these!

Enough reading, check out the tutorial here! (Well, you'll still need to read the tutorial of course!)
Have fun using these in your levels, and let me know if you have any more questions here in the comments or on my Level Palace profile (recommend).
]]><![CDATA[New Tutorial: Airship Tiling!]]>Sat, 29 Oct 2016 22:22:39 GMThttps://luigibonus.weebly.com/news/new-tutorial-airship-tilingYeah, it's been over 2 months since the latest article, but there's finally something new! This guide will tell you how to tile airship tiles correctly in the original Super Mario Flash 2. There are 1000s of airship levels, but bad airship tiling is quite a common issue. This guide however, will tell how to tile airship correctly, which is great for beginners. When reviewing a level, you can just link to this guide without having to write it all yourself in your review over and over again. Plus, it's a very detailed guide as well, going over everything the airship tileset has really quick!

Check out the guide by clicking here!

While we are talking about guides, I have also updated the custom music guide because the last SMF2 updates have changed how it works a little bit. The buttons on the homepage of my website have also changed; the Forum and News button have been replaced with something that has more priorety at the moment (Guides + my Level Palace profile).

That's it for today! And probably for another while too. :P

]]><![CDATA[Another small update... on NSMF2!]]>Thu, 11 Aug 2016 00:53:20 GMThttps://luigibonus.weebly.com/news/another-small-update-on-nsmf2Yes, been a long time since New Super Mario Flash 2 was updated! This isn't a major update however, since I am focusing on SMF2: Retro Edition now. it just fixes some tiling issues and... a nice loading time improvement. Going from 12MB to 9MB, the game should now load 25% faster!

Full changelog:

  • A way better looking logo, also resembling the NSMB reference a lot better.
  • A "Find and Share" level link at the top of the main menu - this brings you to the level page in LP, where you can browse other people levels and upload yours for other people to rate! (More info here...)
  • In the game info menu, you can find a link that leads you to my game page.
  • Fixed the slopes of the bonus zone tileset - they used too look mega cut-off.
  • Reduced loading times by shortening some music tracks that played twice before looped.
  • Boom Boom & Bowser's battle theme now have different looping points - Boom Boom's version loops quickly, but Bowser's has the more menacing parts of the music!

That's it for now! Check out the new updated game here! Feel free to let me know what you think of the update. You can do that easily on the forums!]]><![CDATA[Small SMF2: Jungle Edition update!]]>Sun, 07 Aug 2016 01:52:09 GMThttps://luigibonus.weebly.com/news/small-smf2-jungle-edition-updateSuper Mario Flash 2: Jungle Edition just got a small update! (V. 1.3)

  • Fixed enemies dropping yellow coins instead of rusty coins

]]><![CDATA[Super Mario Flash 1: Haunted Edition is HERE!]]>Tue, 02 Aug 2016 21:37:40 GMThttps://luigibonus.weebly.com/news/super-mario-flash-1-haunted-edition-is-hereIt's here! SMF1: Haunted Edition brings spookyness to the world of Super Mario Flash 1, with plenty of spoopy themes! Some of them include a night theme, haunted forests and factories, and of course, ghost houses. And more as well!

There's also some fun and interesting tilesets to work with, such as libraries. The library blocks act as scenery... except the books! This way you can make staircases using books. There is plenty of tile & scenery variety to work with here, despite it being a SMF1 game! And, of course, there is also 8 new music tracks themed after the game.

What are you waiting for? Get level making! Links can be found below!

I will release a couple demo's before the final game, so you can keep up with the development progress too.

The first demo will be coming out somewhere next week, and it will include:
-Basic SMB1 tileset + BG/M/Enemies
-Metroid (NES) tileset +BG/M/Enemies

NOTE: tiles in demo versions may change in the final game for improvements or there being other tiles that are more needed/requested.
