Super Mario Kingdom

Hey everyone, I've started a new park, called Super Mario Kingdom. As its name suggests, this park is based on the Nintendo characters and storylines from all of the Mario games. The park will be divided into three main thirds, with other "mini-areas" mixed in as well. Here is the construction log:

Main Three Areas:

Princess Peach's Fairgrounds: 75%
"E-Ticket" Attractions-
-Princess Peach's Palace
-Toad's Mushroom Mayhem

Bowser Badlands: 0%
"E-Ticket" Attractions-
-Unknown

Super Mario Bros: Classic Cliffs- 0%
"E-Ticket" Attractions-
-Super Mario Bros: Luigi and Mario
(Dueling Coasters)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Update #1: March 31, 2006

~ The first screen I will show is of Toad's Mushroom Mayhem; a corkscrew coaster. This coaster sweeps through Koopa Troopa's Cove, a "mini-area" that has a Pirate-type theme. Seating areas are also inside the beautiful cove, with waves around the beach. Also, a peek of double-corkscrews soaring over the path are shown as well: ~



Overall Progress: 35%
Any comments are greatly appreciated, and look for a guest spot from CoasterForce sometime in the future!

Really nice stuff, Jazz. Probably your best stuff to date (I like this better than your PT entry, at least by what I see here).

There's a slight overcrowdedness feel and possibly too many textures or shapes, but overall a wonderful screen. Love the colors and cartoony atmosphere; right up my alley. Please don't beat this park to death with too many large screens though.

Can't wait to see more!

you play rct2 at 800x600? wow

really nice screen. i totally agree with jkay
and it reminds me a bit of jkays candyland thing park

It's oke but too chaotic i think and too many colors

-Tom

Why pink?
If it's Toad who is a mushroom, why not use a red-white combination, with some kind of purple wich is the color of his jacket.

Hmmm....

Your buildings are fine, just need to work on the colors.

And yes, last time I checked his shroom head was red and white. Although that may not mix with the landscaping here well. Try blue for the track, white for the rails, and red for the supports.

Yes it reminded me of that as well. I think you've found the style that works for you. I do suggest a stronger accent on your coaster though.

Hm, it's ok. The architecture forms and that are much better than your older stuff...but...hm

There's some really random things that dont work, like how one side of a wall has a certain type of window, then next to it is a different type of window on a few occasions. Needs more consistancy.

I agree that the coaster colours don't suit toad.

It's a little to crowded.

But there are some nice details and there's a lot to be looking at, so well done on that.

Metro

looks real good so far. see how awesome archy can look when its not 2x2?

my only complaint is landscaping. its so random and i can point out at least 8 different types of trees. oh and also change the land by the water so its no L-shaped if you know what i mean. i would definetely make the coaster colors red and white.

but there are a lot of really cool details. the mushrooms for the umbrellas is an awesome idea and it looks great with the surroundings.

'k, just because this is a video game theme doesn't give you the right to just throw up all over the place. You've got 65 colors that clash with each other and look absolutely horrid, but what's worse is the vegetation, which looks like someone tried to create a jungle in a backyard and everything exploded. It's much too messy. The mushrooms looks like they were added in just because... oh look! It's Super Mario! Gotta have mushrooms! the random scattering of bushes and flowers looks messy. you use like 59 wall textures and make the buildings look clumpy especally with the plants sticking on them

don't listen to Mysterioso, he probably looks at gay porn in his free time, from the looks of it...
a couple of his suggestions do make sense though...
just change the coloring and the foliage types a little and then i really like it!

Personally, I really, REALLY like this. It's a good choice of colors that's a bit tough to look at for a moment, but it grows on you quickly.

I would try and make it a bit more planned looking. Having the crowded, jumbled feel is really cool, but at times it looks a little thrown together. If you can find a way to keep that feel but get things a little more organized, you'll have a great park.

i agree with mysterioso for the most part. it's way too random and thrown together for me.

Wow! This is great. I don't know what I expected when I clicked on this topic, but I must say, besides for the pink color scheme, the screen was pulled off perfectly. The mushrooms as umbrellas was very creative, and the viewing area was pulled off well also.

PS-It would be so cool if you had some big ass Mario Kart raceway going around the whole park. Just a suggestion.

I kind of like it, I kind of don't. It's wild, and way chaotic, but for some reason, it might work here. I don't know. I'm really not sure. It is good work, I won't deny. I'm interested in more.

Enigmatic, you throbbing cunt.

I PM'ed cork telling him Enigmatic was back, but he gave me a nice mod schpeel. He'll be banned soon.

Sounds exactly like Engimatic! lol

i like the screen but if randomness wasn't what you wanted to create then perhaps you should have a re-think.

Perhaps instead of 8 different types of foilage cut it down to a couple.

The thing is, he speaks the truth.

It looks like you seriously had no vision when creating this, there's just too many different colours everywhere, and too many different types of windows. It gives no consistency to the theme, and as a result, leaves the whole thing disjointed.

The only thing I don't agree with him on is the foliage, I think it's almost perfect. Although I don't like the giant mushrooms everwhere, maybe take a few of those out and add a few smaller ones?

I don't know who this Engimatic guy you're talking about is. I just thought this looked really really sloppy and ugly. I personally hate this sort of fantasy schmantasy theme, and frankly, it looks exactly like someone threw up on it.

But hey, if those of you with lower standards want to pick a fight, then I pity you.
