I picked up New Super Mario Bros. Wii recently, and I love its level designs. In one level you can find yourself navigating a dark area with scarce sources of light unless you get a fire flower, and in another you can find yourself platforming across giant manta rays with clouds that poof away when you touch them obscuring hidden items.

There's also some excellent powerups. The Ice Flower's iceballs have a different trajectory than the Fire Flower's but freeze foes into cubes to use for platforming or throwing, the Penguin Suit takes over NSMB's Blue Shell's purpose while being less suicidal and adding in lesser Ice Flower power, the Propeller Hat is a more limited but still very effective flying tool.

Even the bosses (consisting of the finally-returning Koopalings) mix things up so it isn't just a matter of "nuke 'em with fireballs". All in all, I'm enjoying this game a lot more than its DS prequel, although I gotta give New Super Mario Bros. props for bringing in this new 2D platforming boom and allowing for a sequel on Wii.

If anyone wants any art trades, they're still open like always. Three slots available. I tend to get these done faster than my normal art, anyway. It's always fun drawing someone else's character (or characters). Hell, I'll even take a couple of requests.

Anyway, the game's on Virtual Console now at 900 Points ($9.00). I highly recommend downloading a copy, if you haven't already. It has great visual style (by Genesis standards), superb gameplay mechanics, and laughably bad English voice acting. There's some Japanese text, like the level descriptions and backstory that plays when you leave the game at the title screen, but most of the stuff that matters is already in English.

On another subject, will likely be offline for the 14th through the 17th. Heading back to Georgia for a few days to visit the relatives. I might go online a bit when I go back up there, but probably not for dA stuff.

I'll add more later on, but looking at some of these, I'm seeing some old stuff that I might give a second chance and ink or color.....or at least use as the basis for a new drawing.

EDIT: Added some more stuff to the scraps.

I picked up the Gamecube Chibi-Robo over the holidays, so I'm considering doing another Chibi-Robo themed pic....albeit I don't know exactly what I want to do yet. Petunia's an OCD nut, so I'm leaning towards a pic with her. Suggestions would be appreciated.

There's still two slots left, if anyone's interested.

1) Please generally ask for one fan character of yours to be represented, although in certain circumstances I might allow two.
2) Your fan character will be in costume, since it is a Halloween pic.
3) If you want your character dressed as a particular character/monster/whatever, please let me know.

1) Please do not ask for stuff against that's against deviantART's Terms of Service. This should be an obvious one. Basically, don't ask for anything pornographic.

2) Please do not request complex backgrounds in pics (Applies to free requests only). I mean no offense to the requesting crowd, but I'm more willing to work on drawing and coloring a more detailed background in a pic when I'm receiving something in return, since I color everything traditionally (colored pencils). That doesn't mean that I won't put backgrounds in requests, though, so don't be too afraid to ask.

3) I have the right to turn down any art trades or requests that I do not wish to do. Basically, what this means is that you shouldn't expect me to do an elaborate full-color pic of your fan character going on a murderous rampage through a mall in exchange for a black-and-white crudely drawn stick figure of Tonguey on notebook paper.

4) If you're still interested, notes are preferred. The note system is how I usually prefer to receive request and trade info, but I'll still take request info via other means.

.....Well, actually all I've done with it so far is mainly resubmit old stuff I've done in a clearer resolution (but with a bit of glare), but I have submitted one new pic. [link]

Brief art trade info: Pretty much the same rules apply. Yadda yadda yadda, don't ask for ToS violating stuff; blah blah blah, comics aren't my forté; yak yak yak, I'm willing to do non-HTF style stuff as well.

One difference to note, though: I'm setting the available number of open trade slots down to three again. No offense against anyone, I just don't wanna get too over-my-head in requests at the moment.

I'm currently practicing my drawing skills here and there, but I can't really ensure any new stuff on my dA account unless I can find a way to get this laptop's Crystal Eye to take pictures, or pick up a scanner. Still, it's nice to have a compuer superior to that piece of crap we had before. I'll probably be getting a laptop of my own as well, soon.

On another subject, I got a DS Lite as an early birthday present, along with New Super Mario Bros. and Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village. Since then, I've acquired Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Polarium, The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass, and Animal Crossing: Wild World as well.

I still haven't got the whole wireless connection thing down pat yet, but if anyone's interested in trading Friend Codes for Animal Crossing, please send me a note; I don't wanna give away my code to just anybody. I'd love to visit your AC towns, and for you to visit mine (and get my town's NookWay upgraded to Nookington's in the process).

Current Request/Trade Status: CLOSED (Still; no good with fully-digital art)

EDIT: It looks like there's a chance that I might be receiving a DS Lite sometime around my birthday. If I do get one I'll probably pick up Professor Layton and the Curious Village and at least one other title (thinking along the lines of The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass or something Mario or Castlevania), but suggestions for other games are welcome.

Personally, I was almost tempted to claim that my art trades were back up and running again (when they aren't), but I decided just to watch other April Fool's jokes from the shadows instead.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii): I've only tried out the GameStop demo of this since I don't have a Wii of my own yet, but said demo was actually the full game with everything already unlocked (thanks to avid store demo-hoggers). In the time I spent trying out the game, I tried out the Brawl mode with the following characters: Sonic, Wario, Samus/Zero Suit Samus, Meta Knight, and Snake. Here's my opinion of brief play using them. Note that the control set into the Wii station was the Wiimote+Nunchuck.

Sonic: I'll say this, he's definitely as fast as we've come to expect, albeit he doesn't seem to really Smash worth a crap. His character almost feels akin to the downward spiral of his 3D gaming career. It's still a big deal though, since we can see who'd win in a fight between Mario and Sonic (HINT: MARIO *shot by Sonic fans*)

Wario: Having both Wario's classic and Wario Ware outfits available is freaking sweet, but I couldn't help but feel a bit bitter that his motorcycle B special made it easy for him to fall off the stage. Well, it's either the cycle or the Wiimote+Nunchuck control scheme I'm not quite used to.

Samus/Zero Suit Samus: Samus feels pretty much the same as she's always felt aside from her Final Smash, and Zero Suit Samus, even with whipping phaser abilities, feels much like she did in Metroid: Zero Mission (which means GET SUIT BACK ASAP!!!)

Meta Knight: No complaints about Meta in my brief play, he feels just right to me. Sword attacks, flying, and flying sword attacks feel so right to me.

Solid Snake: This guy's definitely got variety in his moves. I didn't fully delve into his abilities when controlling him, but I'm sure he'll be quite devastating with some practice.

All in all, from the playtime I spent with Brawl (about 15 minutes), it feels familiar and new. It'll most likely be one of the first Wii games I'll purchase.

Phantom Dust (Xbox): A three-year old Majesco publishing of a four-year old Japanese Microsoft Studios game made by the man behind Panzer Dragoon Saga, this game is what you get when you throw Dragon Ball Z, Akira, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game together into a blender. The single-player game basically prepares you for the multiplayer game (meaning it can get repetitive), but this game definitely has style.

Seven destructible battle arenas, over 300 special abilities (READ: CARDS) you can stick into your Arsenal (READ: DECK), and an exquisitively dark and ruined futuristic world make it quite appealing.....not to mention that it supports practically every feature an Xbox title can support. I'm almost tempted to sign up for Xbox Live, even though I'm aware veterans would tear me apart.

Art Status: Currently closed, might be open again soon if I get good at all-digital.

P.S. Please don't suggest that I save my stuff to CD-Rs or floppy disks; the home comp lacks a CD burner and the college comps lack floppy disk drives.

1) I'm willing to do pics that are suggestive, gory, or that contain profanity, but please refrain from asking for any material that's against deviantART's TOS.

2) I mainly do Happy Tree Friends fan art, but I'm willing to try out drawing other character styles as well. Please don't ask for comics, though.

3) Character limit is one or two characters, although on a smaller scale I may be willing to do three or four. I might also add a background to some pics, if I feel they need a bit more color.

4) If I do accept an art trade with you, please refrain from constantly asking me if it's finished yet. I'll get it done and online as soon as I can.

5) I bear the right to refuse any art trade requests that I'm not willing to do.

Anyway, art trades are now open! I've recently decided to increase the number of available slots from three to five.

Slot 1: Open
Slot 2: Open
Slot 3: Open
Slot 4: Open
Slot 5: Open

Finished
~B-Spider - Annoyance ([link]); Ball Buster Tonguey ([link])
*Friedmouse420 - Peanut Cheating ([link])
~TheXxxX - Peanut's Life Drawing ([link])
~theCrackinthehat - 3D Coon ([link])

If I accept your art trade request, I'll add you to one of the slots and send you a note detailing what I'd like you to draw in return. I won't ask for anything too complex in return; most likely just a pic of one of my characters or the like.
