Story (WIP): show

TBD, but along the lines of:
Mario and Peach have been taking a stroll in the Mushroom Castle Courtyard. Suddenly, Bowser attacks the area using massive Cannons! Where did they come from?! Mario will have to leave Peach at the Mushroom Castle to investigate Bowser's Castle, but is that really a good idea? What is the real intentions of Bowser, and will Mario put a stop to his plans? Or has Bowser's luck finally changed - and has he created the most devastating diversion ever possible?

Demo [Updated link]:
https://farlingayesuffolkschuk-my.share ... 5c2efe69eb
You will need to download all 5 Zip files, then extract them, if you want to play it in an episode format. Put them into a folder, then play. You can, ofcourse, play the levels individually without needing to download it all. You can play up to world 4-Ghosthouse. Please excuse the map, it wasn't finished.

For now, this episode has been put on hold. Do check out my next attempt at a (sort of) decent episode (this wasn't that good)!

What kingdoms? Mushroom Kingdom or Cap Kingdom?

Seems like there is a section in those pipes on 1-1. Id like to see that area, because i'm only getting one side of the coin.

I updated the page to include 2 extra sceenshots.

PAGE UPDATES: 2 Screenshots Added, the World Map image removed as I decided to make a new one. Let's hear any feedback!

[PixelPest]

The level in the first two screenshots looks really short. There's a lot of style mixing that doesn't work (SMB3 + SMW), especially the SMB3 and SMW coins placed together. The dragon coins and 1-up are placed relatively poorly since they are meant to be in challenging locations as they reward the player with a 1-up if all five are collected, though they are in the main path of the player. The level itself looks inconsistent as it gets less and less cluttered as the level goes on until it is basically barren. You also have way too many power-ups for a level that easy. You don't need to give the player two mushrooms at the beginning and the fire flower isn't even really needed since the level is so easy. The desert level looks interesting, but again, try not to mix styles, especially when you have an SMB3-styled ?-block to work with right in the editor that should be used instead of the SMW ones. I'm not really sure what to say about the last screenshot other than that it looks really unfinished, bare, and not very fun

Those 1st two screenshots were of 1-1 and so are meant to be very easy levels without any real gimmick, and the dragon coins are like that to guide the player. What i will do is create all the levels for my episode and then go back and re-polish any levels that may be bare like that. That 1-1 was the first level i actually made in SMBX so I wouldn't have been surprised if someone didn't think it was bare. I also work independently so levels do take a while to make. Don't worry though, i'm sure the finished product will look much better than it does currently, and I'll make sure to not mix styles too much. Also as a side note I put two mushrooms together like that incase people decide to use 2-player mode.

incase people decide to use 2-player mode.

I don't think people use 2 player much.

Dragon coins shouldn't be used to guide the player; that isn't their purpose. Also I never critiqued the level for not having any gimmicks but there's a difference between easy and enjoyable and easy and unenjoyable that you should really consider.

And adding to what Electriking mentioned:

That certainly looks much better than what I made! If you could allow me to use it as my logo, you would deserve a credit in my episode!

[OlieGamerTV]

That level was more or less based on Waterspout Beach (Sparkling Waters 1) in NSMBU.
Those waterfalls actually move up and down like in the actual game.

[CoinKillerL]

levels looks pretty ok so far. Good Lucky!

ok, i am gonna try this when the beach level is released

[Taycamgame]

It'll probably be 100% finished sometime early 2018, but i'm trying to make the levels as good as possible, so i don't want to rush it. I probably won't release separate levels from this episode, but i may do some individual levels sometimes.
