Yes, I'm actually starting to work on it.

Can anybody find me lots of sprites from the game, hopefully including full images of the stages (with the foreground tiles and the background pictures)?
Also post what stages you think I should model the skin after. Like airship, castles, etc...

That should have everything you're looking for. Ignore the ones that say "Ask for permission to use", like they'll know what you're doing.

I hate AJ Nitro.  He rips easy sprites or makes easy customs and still wants credit >:(

Finally. :P
I think you should go with an Airship theme.

Here's a tileset: http://www.spriters-resource.com/gameboy_advance/sma4/sheet/4457
I like the tiles on the left, the darker wood.

Maybe you could put them together to use for the headings, like this:

I just rotated the tiles 90 degrees.

Here's some backgrounds to go with, too.

Here's one I edited: http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z8/DOODLEboy99/SMB3%20skin/smog2.gif

I might make a banner, too.

Actually, the type of image that I'd prefer best to have is something like this:

Damn.

I tried looking for Boom Boom's fortress. No luck. D:

Here's a list of the types of stages and the areas in SMB3 I can base the skin off of, with the ones I think wouldn't work well crossed out.
World 1: Plains
World 2: Desert
World 3: Water
World 4: Giant island
World 5: Sky
World 6: Ice
World 7: Varied
Hills
Clouds
Underground
Dungeon/castles
Pipe
Flying Ships
Title screen (with black/white checkered pattern)

So uh, vote for one. I can't add a poll ;-;

I'll fix your rank.

Edit: acp says you can

I don't think it's possible at all to add a poll to an already-created thread, or at least I can't find the button/link for it.

I digress.

It seems to be this skin that lacks the icon for it.

QuoteIce (World 6)    1 (50%)

By the way, SMB3's ice theme is pretty much just a bunch of tiny floating platforms made up of ice blocks. Not like a snowy land or whatever other games may have.
Other things to note:
I personally think the ship theme would be too similar to the pirate theme we had just before SMB3.
The plains is like 1-1, in the image I gave a few posts back. Hills is like 1-2 among some other stages.
Giant island is extremely similar to plains, I believe.
The underground isn't very similar to SMB1's underground, but rather has tons of slopes, more brown than black, more water, and some parts where it meets with surface level.
The water is almost all like shallow water with jumping fishes.
My favorite is plains, but I'm not so sure hence why I made the poll.

I picked Underground. It's fantastic on 100 levels.

I love the Airships, probably the first thing I think of when I think SMB3. GOGOGOGOGOGO.

I agree.

I think the cloud level would look amazing as a theme.
Why won't any of you vote for it? ;-;

I think the Airships would be the best choice. It will go well with the ranks, too.

The three things I think of first when I hear SMB3 is Airships, Desert, and the first world.

It doesn't really matter to me, but Airships seems to represent SMB3 the best.

I thought Tiny-Huge Island would be nice, what with the Giant Goombas and all. Whatever the majority wants goes, though.

Tiny-Huge Island is from SM64; the world in SMB3 is simply huge enemies/blocks/pipes

I'm guessing "Flying Ships" means Airships?

If so, I'll vote for that option.
I think it'd make a pretty good theme.

Flying ships

Not going to lie, I think an airship theme would be pretty boring. I just can't imagine it working out.

I'd have to agree.  Personally, I think something based off of of the second stage in world one would be fun.  I always loved the music for that stage too.

Voted for Hills.
