You know, I just have too much damn time on my hands.

This is part 1 of an ongoing project. Ongoing because this is only the western continent; there's two more continents and about 6 islands to go, and then I have to throw all 9 onto one bigass map.

Basically what it is is Mario's world on an actual map, with all the locales from every game condensed down onto proper locations. I'm using the Super Mario Bros. 3 worlds as countries (the first 5 on the western continent, the other 3 on the eastern), with Super Mario Land 1's 4 areas being a third continent, and various other islands spaced about.

Here's the text file I'm using as a layout: [link]

I'm using CC2 from [link] to make the thing. Hopefully with my next paycheck I can register it and pick up some more icons to use; lighthouses for towers and dungeons for places like Boo's Mansion don't exactly work. Not to mention the fact that the Sunken Ship isn't sunken.

EDIT: Paper Mario locales are fixed. I've never played the game so I didn't realize its overworld was layed out like Mario & Luigi, where every place is walkable and has set locations. So I basically had to delete everything from Mushroom Kingdom, place down all the PM places in their proper positions, and then put everything else back on around THOSE, rather than doing it the other way around like I had before.

EDIT 2 12/29/05 - Added Paper Mario 2, Mario & Luigi 2, and Mario Kart DS locations to the map. Once again, [link] gives a list of what I put where, and that includes the 9 islands that aren't on the map yet (well, 7 islands, Star Road, and the Moon).
