SMB Remix (v1.0 update!)

[AirShip]

SMB Remix is an episode that was born out of an idea that I had after watching several videos of SMM/SMM2, where there was always a modified version of the classic 1-1, so I thought:
"Why not take this to all levels of SMB?"

SMB Remix then happened, where I redid all the levels of SMB, adding some gimmick/twist, making them more... interesting.
The episode is more focused for skilled players, the difficult is quite elevated, so I don't recommend this episode for noobs/newbies.

In 2-3, I paused the game and it was stuck in pause, I had to restart to level 1, it would be good if there would be a level selector so you dont need to beat all level in 1 run, or a save. But I really like the episode and the music remix are so good, especially the music in 1-2.

Welp, I played the episode again, got to 2-4 this time but got stuck in the pause menu, I think is it a glitch with SMBX that when you pause in a level that mario alway move or duck, if you press pause, you get stuck in the pause menu, so I restarted again, still no save so do all those level again and I was really enjoying the level but I gived up after seeing the impossible boss fight in 5-4, how are we supposed to kill a koopaling 3 hit with almost nowhere to land, a SMB3 turning ball that can kill you in the middle, you dont even have power-up, no checkpoint and the control reversed?? That make just no sense, and if you need to go, you have to start the game all over again.

What I would do if I were you is put a checkpoint before every boss in castle levels and add a world-map so we can choose level we want to play and we can contunue our game when we need to go. I would really like to see the rest of the level if that boss in 5-4 was possible and the music in this episode are so good, I never heard a so good remix of underground theme in 1-2, that's my favorite underground theme remix I ever heard and I played alot of SMBX episode.

i really like how this episode is styled, simple yet effective

gameplay is definitely interesting and sometimes very challenging but i almost plugged at 2-1, please don't make a level like that again

on a side note, you could probably release the same episode with very minimal gameplay changes compared to the original smb and still have a banger episode

Yeah, a problem with my code, that seems, will be fixed in the next update, I hope.

A stage selector is a good idea, to be honest, probably will be added in the next update too.

The difficulty of the episode has thought to be really extreme, I know that some setups seems really unfair, but with determination and courage, you will be victorious! or no, who know ?
...but yeah, the lack of checkpoint and power-up looks very punitive, probably I will added these in the next update.

spoiler: 2-1 isn't the worst level of the episode.

yeah, you definitely need to try this out.

--------------------------------------------------

I'm having a problem with the stage selector. It only seems to save progress up to 5-1; any level beaten afterwards remains inaccessible from it.

I just played and got to 5-2 then I leaved and came back and I can enter level 5-1 and level 5-2 so is it working for me, you stopped at wich level and what pipe in world 5 dosent work?

I took a break at 6-1. I even made sure to manually quit the game on the pause menu first just in case. Upon returning to the game, I could not enter 5-2 or any of the levels after.

I continued playing through 5-3 and went to 6-3 but I was in pause menu and I did not know that you can press enter to select because A button was not working because mario jump alot so when I went back, I had to restart from 5-3 again so it did not saved, Idk why but when I was doing 1 level everytime, it saved, so the save just work and dont work sometime, that's weird but I never saw any episode that those pipe work without star counter.

I believe that is some problem about the SMBX save system ?
I Played the episode again after you post to check the problem, I Even checked the lunaluas and everything seems ok, everything is working correctly.

I believe, that a definitive solution to the problem will be to create a real world map, don't know for sure.

6-3 but I was in pause menu and I did not know that you can press enter to select because A button was not working because mario jump alot so when I went back

oof, I will fix that later.

in 2-4 there's a ?-block at the very end that seems to be impossible to get, is that by design or just an oversight?
