OK, there's going to be a lot of crucial information to read, so be ready.

I've been a passionate Mario fan since I first got the NES. I have had a 5th Birthday with Mario everywhere! Decorations, cake, presents, etc. It was awesome, so I made this collab to show how much of a fan I am.

This wasn't going to be a collab originally, it was going to be an independent project.

The power up collaboration is to show how Mario can strut his stuff.

Before you can enter, you must show me your current skill. (And it better be damn good, or good enough)

I've set a deadline due to the lack of progress I've been seeing from folks. The deadline is 30th of June. I want animations wrapped up and ready to be compiled.

Now let me break it down for you.

We're going to be using M&L sprites. I know I know they're overused, but when we're done with this collab the word original would become unoriginal.
I do not want this collab to fail as it's my first time setting one up; so I need worthy team mates.

So how are we doing this?
First things first.
We need your Flash specs setup.
Canvas size: 640 x 360
AS2 FLA document.
30 FPS
FLA must be in Flash 8 format. If you have CS3, then you can convert it to Flash 8 no problem.
All bitmaps, symbols, etc, can be thrown into folders with your name on it.
There must be a logo on your VCAM.
No Black bars!

-----------------------------------
And the animation?
I want the animations to be between 15 - 30 seconds. You cannot go over as there will be quite a few parts which should add up to be long enough.
I want your animations to fade in and out to white as you're about to start and finish.
-----------------------------------
Anything else, master?
Some sprites may need some custom editing, if you're struggling with your part, ask other team members, or hell, the whole spritas community.
When you're thinking about how to do this, think about this, when Mario gets a specific power up, I.e. Rock Mushroom. He must be in a suitable environment, no? If you have the part of Rock Mario, then I would suggest an environment such as a mountain environment or somewhere 'rocky'.
Mario is allowed to hit any of Bowser's minions. But he doesn't have to.

Now let's get down to business.

Everyone can use their own music, but it must be from any of the Super Mario series. The music must fade in and out.

I will start off with who want's to do what parts:
You're allowed to do three parts IF you have finished your current part(s), and it depends if there is a part available.

Sprites can be found on mfgg.net
I have taken 3 parts.
This entire collab should last around 10 - 15 minutes.

Let the games begin!


*edit*
Remember guys. You must use Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga styled sprites! Like this:

Also guys IF YOU CAN, try to show Mario getting the power up. But you don't have to.


Message from Leo:

Spoiler:

Usually your logo is nothing more than a text. Okay. Thing is that if you're using a font that you don't normally see, chances are that NS don't have it so when he starts compiling stuff your logo may appear with another font. "OH NOES HOW DOES ME PREVENTS DAT" Simple. Break apart your text. Don't know what's that? Just press Ctrl+B two times 'till it becomes a vector shape instead of a text. That way your logo will still be cool - or not - and NS can compile it fine. I know this is common sense and should be done in all collabs but eh, just a heads up to those guys who didn't know.
