The Eggs of Saear is Spade's first hack, and the hack he is currently working on. It is commonly abbreviated as TEOS.

[edit] Features
[edit] Levels
The Eggs of Saear, when completed, will contain 53 levels (including switch palaces), 7 worlds, and an unknown amount of exits. (because I'm too lazy to count) The first four worlds will have themes based on seasons: such as Summer being an arid desert and Autumnal Island being a forest. The other 3 are the Moon, Bowser's airship armada, and the secret world, the Star Kingdom.
[edit] Overworld
This is one of the most praised parts of the game. There is the main overworld, consisting of the four islands, and 3 submaps, which are the rest of the worlds.
In order, the worlds are:
- Vernal Island (generic grassland levels) - Map and levels complete!
- Summer Island (desert levels) - Map and levels complete!
- Autumnal Island (forest levels) - Map and levels complete!
- Winter Island (ice levels) - Map complete, 2 levels until completion
- The Moon (generic levels) - Map complete
- Bowser's Armada (airship levels) - Map complete
- Star Kingdom (secret world) - Map incomplete
[edit] Graphics
Another of Spade's strengths, much of the graphics in TEOS are custom: however, much of the original SMW graphics remain intact. name is hoping to get rid of as much of the SMW graphics as he can, occasionally redrawing some of it when he's bored.
[edit] Technical
Due to this being Spade's first hack, and his lack of knowledge of music and ASM, the hack was started without music or ASM. It also has no custom sprites. However, it uses custom blocks such as ice blocks, frozen munchers and coins, and signs.
[edit] Plot
There are rumors that somewhere in a strange alternate world, a huge treasure was buried. It's very well hidden; many have tried to find it, none have succeeded. No one knows for sure if it exists.
Bowser heard these rumors and discovered the technology that let him travel to this world. Being the greedy, evil Koopa he is, he decided to take over the dimension, with a huge airship armada, and find the treasure for himself.
Mario can't let him do that, can he?
(oh and by the way he stole Peach. I bet you didn't see that coming *runs*)
The Eggs of Saear are magical artifacts that have many unknown powers, and if someone collected enough of them, they could travel through space and appear wherever the missing ones are. Mario uses this power once he gets 4 of the eggs to travel to the moon and get the egg hidden there. He also uses them to go to Bowser's airship armada for the final showdown with Bowser.
Q: Mario has to find a bunch of eggs and kill Bowser to rescue Peach? That sounds like SMW's plot to me...
A: The eggs are necessary to the plot, and especially important to the plot of TEOS2. If it makes you happy, I edited the graphics of the egg. (No, Yoshi probably won't be in this hack.)
[edit] Reception
Probably due to being somewhat "vanilla" (retains much of SMW's graphics/features etc.), TEOS is not a very popular hack.
However, its overworld and graphics are often praised, but its level design has its flaws.
