And finally, it's here! The SMF2: Jungle Edition Version C update has arrived, adding a huge amount of new tiles... Really, there are twice as much tiles now! Not only new tiles tho, there are also a few new sprites like the Poison Mushroom & a new Piranha Plant. Level making is now also easier: you can now place Power-ups (Mushrooms, Fire Flower, etc), Monty Mole holes, Yoshi and even Bowser into the level, without having to code-edit! One of the really awesome new features, there are now background/music changers, that allow you to have the background/music to be changed when playing the level. You can find background & music changers in the Autoscroll & Sprite Generator menu in the sprites section. Talking about music... You can now also use custom music! Importing custom music may be a bit complicated at the beginning, but I will release a guide on how to do it that soon.

All levels made in the outdated version of SMF2: Jungle Edition are compatible with the new version.*

With the new tiles, these are all the tilesets in Jungle Edition:

• Standard (stone block, spike, blocks, etc)
  
• Jungle/Forest
  
• Beach
  
• Beehive
  
• Mud/Swamp
  
• Cave/Underground
  
• Cobble
  
• Snow/Ice
  
• Nighttime Jungle
  
• Ruins
  
• Dungeon
  
• Temple (Inside+Outside)
  
• Volcano
  
• Tree (Trunks & Leaves)
• Underwater/Ocean
  
• Atlantic
  
• Pipes
  
• Water/Poison/Lava
  
• Platform Tiles (Mushroom, Wood, etc)
  
• Misc Tiles (Leaf, Munchers, Fire, etc)
  

Enough reading, check out the new update here!

*NOTE: scenery may have to be replaced, depending on what scenery and the way you used it. Tiles, backgrounds, music & enemies are 100% compatible.

The end of the month has arrived, so here is CBG Pack #2! Hooray!

This pack includes 10 all new Custom Backgrounds ready for use, this time themed about the Jungle & Sky to celebrate the upcoming Jungle Edition update! The CBG's work great with the game too, so check them out if you're interested in Jungle Edition! Check the new backgrounds out, along with my other CBG albums here.

NOTE: not all games support Custom Backgrounds. To see which games support CBG's & how to import the backgrounds into compatible games, check the help section.

Hey all, just letting you know that I did a few small changes to the website. First of all, you may have noticed this already - I changed the favicon of the website! The old one was pretty... well, old, so I changed it to a 1-up Mushroom. Doesn't look bad, does it?

Next, the forum has been tweaked a little, instead of there being 2 forums for both SMF related topics, there is now one main board for SMF and the other board is now General/Off-topic, where you can basically talk about anything you want! However, please still follow the forum rules (they can be found on the forums under General > Forum Rules.

There are also new buttons on the Home Page for quick access to other pages, one that leads to my Custom Backgrounds on imgur, and also a News button that lead to this page.

Talking about my CBG's, clicking on the BACKGROUNDS button on the website toolbar will now lead you to all my CBG albums instead of just the standard one.

Good news everyone, Super Mario Flash 2: Jungle Edition is updating to SMF2 Version C! If you don't know what Version C has to offer, it offers a lot of new tiles (really a lot) and also some new enemies & sprites. But not only that, it also has Background and Music changers, that allow you to change the background/music within the level! It also makes making levels easier: you can put items like the Mushroom & Fire Flower directly anywhere you want without them being in a Mystery or Brick Block. Bowser can now also be put in the level quickly without having to code-edit, and you can now place upside-down Bullet Bill Cannons without them looking cut-off. You can also make the music silent if you want! And best of all... You will be able to use custom music!

All levels made in the old Jungle Edition will be compatible in the new version, so if you want to update your old level in the new version, you can do that easily. Custom Backgrounds will also work like they did before.

The new Super Mario Flash 2: Jungle Edition update will be out next week, somewhere around Friday! Stay tuned for more info. Special thanks to Chairo for making this possible as well!

Some of you who played the old Super Mario Flash 2: Retro Edition knows that it had a lot of errors, and it was never finished. So I have decided that I will completely redo SMF2: Retro Edition, listening to all the advice you all have given in the comment section of the game, and hopefully implement as much requested features as I can into the game! The old version only had tiles from mostly Mario games and just a few tiles from others, but the new version will focus to include tiles from some of the most known and best NES games, ranging from Mario, Kirby, Megaman and more. But also tiles from some games you might not have expected!

Custom Backgrounds will also be supported. Note that most Custom Backgrounds made by the SMF community are 16-bit themed, and Retro Edition is 8-bit themed, so most of them won't really work well. You can however make your own 8-bit looking backgrounds, and upload them to use them in your game! I am also planning on releasing an imgur album to upload more 8-bit Custom Backgrounds for Retro Edition when it's finished, and may add some more Custom Backgrounds every once in a while to the album. Of course, there will also be 9 in-game default backgrounds that are 8-bit themed that you could use. More info about how to import your own Custom Backgrounds into the game can be found on the help page.

NOTES:
-When the new version releases and if you have made a level in the old version, you can play it anytime by scrolling down on the page and select "Play old version".
-Levels made in the old version will not be compatible with the new version. The codes will work, but because most of the tilesets will change, the level will look weird.

(New) Super Mario Flash 2: Retro Edition will be launching this summer, at the end of August. Stay tuned for more info, I will post news here and there as I am developing the game on this page and on the forums!

And back with more news! This time, finally some good news again! So, there were problems with custom backgrounds hosted from Photobucket not working on some browsers. The issue likely isn't gonna fix anytime soon, so I've been working on moving over my custom backgrounds to a new host, imgur. But not only that, there's also a whole NEW collection of Custom Backgrounds available for use, ranging from grassland to outer space! Now making it 10 Custom Backgrounds hosted on imgur so far. Check out the list here!

More good news, as a bonus, all of the Super Mario Flash 1 default backgrounds are also available for use as custom backgrounds. Check it out here!

There's even more good news, SMF2 Custom Background Collection #2 will also be releasing at the end of the month, with 10 all-new custom backgrounds! Stay tuned!

Since there are issues with Custom Backgrounds going on, and that some games aren't loading properly sometimes, I decided to make a current issues page, where you can see all the current technical issues related to the site or the games that you should keep in mind! If you found a technical problem, let me know and I will update the page! I will also be looking into the issues and fix them when I can, and trying to keep the list as empty as possible! The page can be found on the forums anytime, under News & Announcements. If you are experiencing any problems, be sure to check this page first! If you are experiencing problems that aren't on the list, the problem may be on your end. Check out the help section for more info and possible solutions.

Some of you may have noticed that my Custom Backgrounds designed for my SMF2 games don't work on some browsers anymore. Don't worry, the problem is not on your end! The host of these backgrounds, Photobucket, has changed the way pictures hosted from their website are displayed on other sites, which caused the SMF2 Custom Background feature not being able to load Photobucket images. Don't worry, you can still use pictures from (supported) other sites, for example imgur. I am going to work on moving all of my backgrounds to another host, and they should be available again shortly! (You will have to update your background in the level code). I will keep you all updated on this news page about the Custom Background issues. In the meantime, you can use another browser, like Chrome.

Standard backgrounds from the games themselves are unaffected by this issue.

Super Mario Flash 2: Jungle Edition was one of my SMF2 editions, themed about the Jungle. It was fully finished last year, but it never got released due to PG's inactivity. However, now the community is active again, I decided to release it to the public so people can check it out! History lesson over, here's what Jungle Edition's all about:

-Create levels in the in-build 9 enviroments:

• Jungle/Forest (Day)
  
• Crystal Cave
  
• Poisonous Forest
  
• Temple
• Jungle Beach
• Ocean
• Dungeon
  
• Volcano
• Jungle/Forest (Night)
  

-More enviroments can be added through the Custom Background feature.

There are also lots of tilesets to work with, including: Jungle, Beach, Snow, Beehive, Temple/Dungeon tilesets, Tree, Pipes, Atlantic & Volcano tilesets, including the tilesets that fit with multiple themes, such as Water/Poison, Harbor, Stone tiles and of course, blocks. Enough reading, check the game out here!

If you're wondering what kind of news you can expect to see here, it'll be mostly SMF announcements (updates, new releases, etc.), changes to the website and other other announcements related to this site & its games. There will be some other kind of news then just this too, so if you're a news + SMF fanatic, this is the place for you!
