A Super Cat Tales Mod for Super Mario War 1.8 Beta 2
by Jaden1291 the Toad aka. agenthexagon/AgentJDN
Introduction
Hello! This is my first post on 72dpiarmy forum, and this is a development thread for my SMWar mod "Super Cat Wars."
What is Super Cat Wars? It changes every aspect of Super Mario War into the style of Super Cat Tales and the Neutronized game universe in general. Super Cat Tales is one of my recent favorite games, and I had the idea of making this mod in a long time since the first time I created the skins for characters Alex, Olli, and Shinji, and modifying the music in the game to use SCT music.
I started making this mod since August 21, 2019.
My goal for Super Cat Wars is to make it a building block for rebuilding Super Mario War's popularity, since I'm planning to upload this mod to the Super Cat Tales official Discord server, MFGG forums, and the Super Mario War discord server.

Story...?
In Super Cat Wars, a battle royale tournament is being held in Cat Land... by Gionathan and me! Alex and his cat friends race to the battlefield... and across several locations... to beat other opponents and win a neat prize for them to use in the next match. There's no end to the game's fun though, so nope, no ending!

- Dedicated to Florian Hufsky and Gionathan Pesaresi.

When it's done, of course. I can't make any promises! And I have school to tackle as well so don't expect any fast progress.

That looks really cool, Jaden. Very cute graphics. I don't even like cats but I'm still very charmed by this.

Two new things added today: Goomba Shoes have been changed to Rollerskates and a new spike boot sprite, as well as a brand new sprite for the Boomerang. The rollerskates and shoes are based on the rollerskate from Yokai Dungeon, another game by Neutronized.
EDIT:

I finished small fonts, started work on enemies...
RE: [Super Mario War MOD] Super Cat Wars (A Super Cat Tales Mod) - Jaden1291 the Toad - 09-12-2019
Presenting some new challengers! (Will be edited over time, I'm making new skins as I speak!)
![[Image: unknown.png]](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/527236511029002241/621696079649570848/unknown.png)
KURO from Super Cat Tales (1 and 2) is back to mine the competition! At least I don't have to make a Revenge joke for that one.
![[Image: unknown.png]](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/527236511029002241/621705644440944662/unknown.png)
BRUTUS from Super Cat Tales (1 and... 2?) is ready to satisfy his hunger for victory! Never leave your Sora Fruits lying around!
![[Image: unknown.png]](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/527236511029002241/621712774665338886/unknown.png)
Lastly, Amy from Super Cat Tales (1 and 2) crawls into Super Cat Wars to complete the original six Jump-and-Fur stars! A team color alternative skin has been added to make her markings use the same colors as her team.
And I guess that's all for the character reveals of September 12th!

UPDATES 02-23-2020
Apologies for the lack of updates on the forum post! I mostly post a lot of unseen updates on my Twitter, MFGG Discord server, Super Cat Tales discord, and my personal server, Hexagon Labs.
![[Image: FwbRyZB.png]](https://i.imgur.com/FwbRyZB.png)
To begin this update, I have added TIN SOLDIERS! Tin Soldiers replace the Koopa Troopas and Paratroopas in Super Cat Wars, and they come in walking or wheeled flavors.
![[Image: cd0rOMp.png]](https://i.imgur.com/cd0rOMp.png)
Throughout the development of the mod, I added a lot of new tilesets to expand your creativity on! Extended palettes, extended tilesets (sure it's still my specialty), new objects, and more Neutronized game tilesets like Mineblast/DynaBoy and Snow Kids! Unleash your creativity in the level editor!
More features:
- A lot of world map objects have been added throughout development of the mod
- New playable characters, including the new mystery cat from the Brutus reveal trailer!
- Planned: add NPCs as tileset background objects, more backgrounds, and even more stuff!
DEVELOPMENT VIDEOS
And that's all for today's update! Hope you're looking forward to trying out Super Cat Wars, my Super Mario War 1.8 Beta 2 mod!
And by the way...

UPDATE 04-04-2020
I've been taking advantage of quarantine to finish up a lot of content and assets for Super Cat Wars! Here's some of the updates: (You can always keep up with new updates in the MFGG Discord)
- ENGINE UPDATE!
My friend from the Super Mario War discord server, AzureBerylBlue/Cat, is working on bugfix builds for Super Mario War. I got them to make custom executables for the mod itself, so expect a ton of bugfixes that aren't in the original Super Mario War. Alongside that is online multiplayer... but I have yet to figure this out and make a documentation for it lol.
- Backgrounds, New Maps, and Skins
All the backgrounds (including day/afternoon/night variants) from Super Cat Bros to Chapter 2 of Super Cat Tales 2 are finally complete. I also added new maps and skins too, which means many fan-favorites (like Sergeant McMeow, Luna, Tanuki (Yokai Dungeon), Dyna Boy, and others) are coming to Super Cat Wars!
Some screenshots showcasing the new content:
- WORLD MAP AND MENU

![[Image: v1WQL70.png]](https://i.imgur.com/v1WQL70.png)
A lot of assets have been done for the main menu, award effects, map filters/flags, etc. And the World Map has received a ton of updates as well.

- More Crossover!
I'm rolling out more crossover characters in the future, but I have something cool to show you. There's a game that has kind of the same art style as Super Cat Tales, called "Dadish" by Thomas Young/CatCup Games. The game's tilesets are added as crossover assets to use in the level editor! BTW I recolored them to the Super Cat Tales Pico8 color palette, so they can fit easily into the game's environment!
![[Image: MUvGN5x.png]](https://imgur.com/MUvGN5x.png)
- SUPER CAT TALES 2: CHAPTER 3 and SUPER CAT WARS
Last but not the least, I may or may not put this mod on hiatus. The reason why is because I'm planning to release the mod after Super Cat Tales 2's Chapter 3 update comes out. The update includes very essential assets that may be included in Super Cat Wars, such as new backgrounds, tilesets for World 6 and 7 (Lava World & Ultima City), new characters, NPCs, and world map graphics.
- LEVEL HELP!
After fully completing the mod, I'll be assigning a few people from MFGG to create more community maps for Super Cat Wars. I really need your help, so let me know if you wanna opt in to help make maps for the game!
And there's some more surprises to come, as Super Cat Wars, my Super Mario War 1.8 mod, gets closer to completion. Keep yourself updated!
