That's weird then. I'll just PM you the files.

Does extracting the files from the disk make you not be able to play Super Mario Galaxy normally?

Yes. It doesn't damage your original copy of SMG in any way.

Of course, why would it do anything? All it's doing is looking at it, it does the same thing when you play it. All the stuff that's going on is on the SD card.

Yes, the disc isn't affected in any way so you can still play like normal on your wii

1. Do you have a copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2?
2. Do you have an SD card?
If you have both you should use Letterbomb to be able to use homebrew on the Wii.
You should also put a program called SMG Extractor in a folder called apps on the SD card.
You should be able to run that on the homebrew channel then after you have used Letterbomb.
If you don't know how to use letterbomb just look up "Letterbomb wii" on youtube and you should find enough tutorials.
SMG Extractor should dump all files in a folder on the SD card which you can use for editing (in your case replacing).
And if you are using dolphin to play the game you should also look at this thread.

Hope this is what you wanted to know.

If you have the latest version (4.3, should say in the wii settings), yeah. The letter may be back a day (is for me) but it's there and it works, given you have the correct MAC Address.

Instead of a Bowser boss battle, how about a Bowser Jr. boss battle/galaxy? That way we can show off that we can make a custom boss battle just like how the dragon boss in world 1 is unique. I have an idea for a Bowser Jr. level that involves flip-switches and the red star.

We can't make custom boss behaviors, it that's what you're insinuating.

But what we can do is re-texture bosses. That's about as much so far. If you do it right, it can look awesome.

You could do stuff with hammer bros. jumping from pillar to pillar. There's a massive range of what you can do with enemies.

I don't know about cutscenes, but AFAIK none of that stuff with bosses can be done at the moment

Meh, if we can make things move (albeit with one bone animation), I have four ideas already on how to make bosses: You just take old bosses and make them work in new ways.

EX: I don't know if this would work, but if you can crush people with moving platforms, just turn Peewee pirahna on his butt (assuming that traps him), trapped in the sand pit from Fluzzard, and retexture him to look like he's a sand Pirahna plant, then you just have vines come out of the ground (they'd be 1 bone, but they'd crush you under the leaves on the end). Have some enemies spawn to make it more difficult. When you get close, you smash the egg part, which barely emerges from the ground. As usual, he'll die after a few hits.

The problem is, how to get mario away from that. If you have invisible walls, you might be able to just blast mario out with some cleverly placed ones, but that would require a way of triggering events when the boss is at certain health (can we do that?), and has a possibility of dislodging peewee.

Another problem is that it is too easy to get to the egg, just float into the center and wham. So, if it is possible, you could close 2-5 leafy "blast doors" made out of portions of a dome cover the underside, and be synced with his attacks. If it is possible to make them damage you on touch, that would also be good.

Course, the event coding would be difficult, and this is just assumptions based on what NW said was possible.

I'm pretty sure that we can't use boss health to trigger events, but I've been surprised before.

Other than that, with a lot of work, that idea might be able to be pulled off without ASM.
