Do you enjoy playing adventure maps? Do you enjoy going back to the good old days of 8-bit gaming? If yes to one or both of these questions, this map will surely be the for you!
Details: 8-bit Adventure is, you guessed it, an adventure map that shows you 8-bit sprites and themes levels after them. These games include the classic Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, Kid Icarus, and the not-so-8-bit games such as Cave Story and Sonic the Hedgehog. One of these levels even themes a minecraft makeover of level 1-1 of the original Super Mario Bros. !
Trailer:
Story:You start off in your entertainment room of your house. You have just finished setting up your new giant TV you bought from a garage sale and hooked it up to your game console with your five favorite retro games pre-loaded in. You boot up your TV with game controller in hand, but to what happens next you need to play the map to discover...
Extra Info:This new ZIP folder comes with one save in it. There are four (technically five) endings in total to find. Make sure to explore everywhere to find the hidden currency throughout the map so you can complete the gallery and gain access to the bonus ending. Don't forget that you cannot find all of the endings in one playthrough, so you will need to reload the map multiple times to find all of the endings. The map also comes with a resource pack that is required for play (otherwise the map looks terrible). This is located inside of the save folder, so make sure to grab it before you begin playing!
Endings to achieve:Normal ending: Simply beat the first section of the map. You don't really require much to get done. Bonus ending: Completing the gallery will allow you to find this. Storywise, it impacts the story in a larger manner. You need to find everything in the map, and some might not be found the first time you play. Not to mention there are two different variants of it to find! Special ending: This ending is a secret! You can easily find it eventually, though. Secret ending: It's a secret! I can't tell you. Can you complete all four endings?
Achievements: Ok, so I have decided to add in some achievements for the heck of it. Check the spoiler to see how many you have earned:
Cliffhanger:Complete the bonus ending on either difficulty
Piece of Cake: Complete the secret ending
Heated Success: Complete the special ending
Standard Expectations: Complete the normal ending
Gardener: Find both seed types
Penny Pincher: Find all of the rupees
It's so Shiny!: Find all triforce shards
Behemoth Demolished: Defeat the wither
Exterminator: Defeat the code dragon
Collector: Complete the gallery
Made in Japan: Buy all five game cartridges
Commemoration: Find the Hall of Commemoration
Hardcore Gamer: Finish the bonus ending on hard mode
Coming Back for More: Complete all of the achievements Reply with how many achievements you got to see how you are against others!
This most recent version may come with a few bugs that I am unaware of. If you find any please let me know!
Installation: To install 8-bit adventure for use into minecraft, you will need to download the ZIP folder. When you open the ZIP, there will be a folder called 8-bit. This is the save folder. Before dropping it into your saves folder of the .minecraft, please open it and locate the resource packs. There will be two resource packs. Make sure to drop both of them into the resource packs folder of the .minecraft. Then you may drop the save into the saves folder. Don't forget to play in 14w21b (newer ones break it)!
Rules: There are rules written in a book in the beginning chest, but if you play on a server, make sure command blocks will work, difficulty is either easy or normal (your choice) and the game mode is set to adventure. Please enjoy and tell me if there's anything that should be fixed or tweaked. Are you planning on making an LP of this? Post your video and I might put it into the OP. Make sure to give your opinion by replying. Don't be shy, please reply! Be sure to take into consideration that I try to reply to posts that involve suggestions or feedback on the map.
Update:Wow, have I really hit 1,000 downloads? I really feel glad you guys are enjoying the map so much! I'm glad to see my hard work hasn't gone to waste! Impeccably, I just finished a new update for the map! This update fixes quite a few bugs (still unsure how well multiplayer works). Not just this, but I also have added replayability to the map! You no longer need to reload the map if you want to find the remaining rupees and triforce shards, but you can now re-enter your TV to emulate the first 5 levels! This should make it a lot easier for people to access the bonus ending, which inputs even more nostalgia, considering there are 5 remakes to see! Check them out and make sure to let me know what you think

New version 2.0 has been released to help out with some minor fixes. The only biggie I still need to fix is animal spawning, otherwise the current version is close to the final version. Make sure to check out the polls and give me your opinion.

Just played this map. ill say its really awesome. probably one of may favorite custom maps. i wouldnt suggest the torch path, unless you extened your fire resistance potion, or have multiple. overall a great map!
UPDATE: Hey guys I'm back again and now i'm in the works of adding the wither as well as the harder mode. With the new /effect coming in 1.5 I will use that to improve jump height for level one to make it seem more like the real super mario bros. and remove those crappy stairs that mess up the original structure look. Hope you all are looking forward to it!

The screenshots are showing the sprites. I'm leaving it up to the player to go into the map to see them, as the deeper puzzles that could have a picture in them are deeper in-game, which further parts of the game I would prefer to have discovered by the person who's playing than to spoil good puzzles/adventures.
My apologies to bump this thread, but I felt it would be a good idea with the new update and all so newcomers can find it way easier. As I said, there was a new update released recently (V3.0) that adds in a lot of features, in which you can find in the fixes section of the first post. So there you have it. Feel free to check it out and reply to the new poll I have put up.

I suppose if so many people want to see a bit more, I will add another screenshot for the map's sake. The map first shows the player pixel sprites for a game, then has a level themed after seeing the sprites for that world theme. So that is where the adventure comes in. I have also fit both bosses into this map, as well as some special tidbits of nostalgia that retro gamers can spot out easily. Would anyone like any more clarification?

I enjoyed your map, but in the future add some more details because the surroundings were boring, no offense! Add like buildings with rules in them and alot of building details in your map, parkour and more. The maze part was a bit too hard on normal there is too many mobs spawning around.

But else it was great!
1. I have actually been planning on adding a bit more to the railway things and such that add a bit more detail, but not acual scenery in general (just shortening the view distance to compress it just to see the pictures).
2. If you hadn't tried the "bonus" level that is accessible in level four, there is parkour in one of the paths, but since this is more of a nostalgia map, I keep more to mimicking retro games and quotes from retro games than adding newer elements of games such as parkour and those newer kind of elements.
3. I am aware I put a bit too many spawners in the maze, but I think if I destroy a spawner or two and actually make the iron sword be in an easy to reach space it will keep it challenging but not extreme.
So there's my opinion on the situation that I think will help enhance your experience by grasping a better understanding on my plans.

Hey minecraft players! Sorry for bumping this post yet again (it's starting to get kind of recessive) but I want to inform you all that I have announced the new update for an 8-bit adventure! I'm sure this is either the very last or close to very last update. The map is completely becoming remodeled and even has to have its own texture pack to make it come alive. I have added a well thought-out story as well as changing the levels to look cooler/have better content. All of the planned changes are listed above as well as screenshots of the current to future look of the map. I'd appreciate if you all let me know what you think upon the new update! Happy gaming!

Well for those who have been waiting until 1.6 to play this, I have good news for you! I have released the 1.6 version with its own resource pack. Now keep in mind that I have not done anything special with the resource pack yet, so don't expect to find too much new in this version.Be aware I have added in some minor tweaks to make the story a bit more interesting in the end, and have modified a texture or two in the packs.
