Hello Everyone!
I am proud to finally announce the release (the official release, that is) of my custom build! Two months of file editing, placement, photoshop and GIMP crashed, test after test, bug fix after bug fix, and it's finally here! A lot of you have been waiting for this build, it seems. And with CEO 2014 going down today, I thought that there would be no better day to release it than today!
This build includes TONS of lovely new features to further enhance your Project M experience! Below you will find categorized buttons that will link you to preview the costumes, music, stages, and screenshots of the build! There are some features that can't be in any specific category, so they will be listed here:
- Several characters have received voice modifications to better represent their character as they are portrayed in their respective games, these characters are Ike, Pit, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Meta Knight.
- The backgrounds for the Main Menu, Character Select Screen, and Stage Select Screen have been changed to very calm, blue, space theme. Think Project M's backgrounds, but with more blue, and planets, and stars, stuff like that!
- Certain Sound Effects have been changed within the game, some or more hidden than others, but the most noticeable one is the main menu navigation, confirmation, and back sounds. These have been changed to the sounds you would hear in a Kingdom Hearts game, very soothing!
- Various other aesthetic changes to certain elements, countdown numbers, even the GO! Sign when you start fighting!
- Other fun little easter eggs! Keep an eye out on the text in the main menu! And don't try erasing any of your data!
The Smash 3 HUD has been used as a base, but has been modified by me to better fit the theme of the build.
Costumes are a very important part of any custom build, you want characters that look friggin' fantastic! You want characters that are total eye candy and make your eyes drool! (Tears of joy, of course.)
All of the costumes that you see here are either beautiful recolors or alternates, most of the characters received this treatment, some characters did not, be it due to technical issues, space limitations, or otherwise. Do note that these costumes are very pleasing, and respect hit/hurt boxes, here are some features of these costumes!
(NOTE: The order you see the costumes in may or may not be the respective order that they are in in-game. Microsoft OneDrive is stupid, sorry )

- This build uses a code called cBliss (Costume Happy!) Basically, any new costumes you see in the build were instead ADDED to the amount of palette swaps, rather than replacing one. Some were replaced however, as in my opinion, and apparently many others as I have seen on these Forums, that these costumes were downright ugly, and never used. I kept all the fan-favorites, though!
- Most Characters now have PURPLE costumes to represent Project M's favorite color, PURPLE!
- All of the newly added Alternate Costumes respect the wishes of the PMBR, and they do not represent an entirely different character. They will ALWAYS be a costume for their respective character.
- All of the costumes have synced poses in their portraits! All recolors are in their respective Brawl Portraits, Alternate Costumes get different poses.
- Some Alternate costumes even got Recolors!
Stages were the main reason this build is even in the state it's in today, when I made the first release of this build, it was nothing but costumes! And someone quickly commented about it. So I had the original build removed and got straight to work with the build you see today! The stages I have added are extremely fun to play on, and are lookers to boot! Some are also quite nostalgic!
- Every stage on the second page, spare Training Room, was replaced, stages on the first page are untouched, spare two, which have received pretty textures! (Don't worry, they have been edited so that they are EXACTLY how the stages are in the original P:M)
- The stages meet the competitive aspect of Project: M. So all you competitive smash lovers have essentially DOUBLE the amount of stages you normally played on!
- Each stage is wonderful to look at, and some of you might be familiar with them! As they have made appearances in other popular games, some even in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Like Tabuu's Final Stand!
Now what are costumes and pretty stages without some AMAZING music to go with it? While the Menu may be calming, you'll quickly realize that you're in a fight for your life once this music kicks in. Every song I chose fits the stages they have been placed on. Plus, they just sound damn SEXY. I mean, look at that number, that's a lot of songs! And they are all for your listening pleasure. That is, if you're not too busy beating up your friends in a Smash-Induced Maniacal Hysteria.
I will edit the word document to be better to look at, including links to the songs and everything, but for now, if you want to preview them, just YouTube them and they will come up.
Here are some screenshots of the build, here, you can see some of the costumes and stages as they appear in-game!
- Newly added stock icons do not show up on the Results Screen, will be fixed as soon as I figure out why.
- Back up all the files currently on your SD card, in case you don't decide to keep the build.
- Format your SD card to FAT32 format, if you do not do this, you may encounter several issues, costumes not appearing, stages freezing, music glitching out, etc.
- Download the build from one of the links above, depending on your version, then, extract the contents of the .rar file into the root of your SD card.
HOMEBREW CONTINUED
- Open your Project M Launcher via Homebrew and enjoy!
HACKLESS CONTINUED
- Before installing the pack, make sure that ALL of the stages in the stage builder are deleted, if they are not deleted, then you will not be able to play.
- When the stages are deleted, with the SD card inserted, launch the Stage Builder, you will be taken to the Gecko OS screen.
- Simply press "Play Game" and enjoy!
Stage Select Screen Background Fix - Changes the background for the SSS to better reflect the build's theme. This should also fix stages not appearing correctly in the Random Stage Switch.
If you discover any bugs within the build, PM me please, that way I can identify the issue and tell you how to fix it, thanks!
