Right what it says on the title. What's your favourite thing that got introduced in SMBX2 that's not in the original SMBX (1.3)?

Personally for me, I'd say either the Chucks being added, or the massively increased extra space for custom blocks / background objects. Also obviously lua support but that's such a basic answer.

While it might be a "basic" answer, I agree. Lua support is my answer too. Being able to add almost any sort of npc / block / script / ect creation to the game is invaluable.

The addition of SMB1 Lakitus and Spinies.

True, but I don't mind it being a "basic" answer. There's so much good lua content now in general.

ill say also lua because you can do fun/good things to it.
how about klonoa?

Lua, of course. Also Mario Challenge, and dummy blocks/npcs/bgos

lua scripting i guess

The undo button.

Possibly characters and costume support.

scripting support
killing of bugs

that's collectable trigger, this is very good and will be usefun on some levels like:
auto text (for cutscenes while playing normal level)
changing music and backround without changing sections
and more

and undo button (i accidentaly fill everything in blocks and saved it so undo button saved me)

This!! The Undo button alone really makes doing stuff in SMBX2 so much easier. Not to mention things like the section tool and such.

Heck I love the new lightning features
I love how something that you could normally do through scripts now is a default option and I'm taking advantage of it lots

The custom range for blocks and NPCs.
Like I mean you can do so much more with that thanks to the sheer amount of custom stuff made by Enjl, MrDoubleA, Murphmario, Core, IAmPlayer and so on.

I'd say my favourite feature is probably SDL Mixer X, since you get proper loops and support for emulated audio files for proper loops and hardware accuracy. I do wish that more variants of VGM were supported, not just YM2612 and the Master System's PSG. I also really like the screen effects. They can do a LOT to help alter a level's feel. I also like the increased amount of basegame assets, specifically blocks and BGOs. Lua scripting is a tad overrated in my opinion, but it does make events less cumbersome to work with.

Least would probably be the HTML launcher, since it's quite slow in comparison to the old menu, most likely due to the fact that it uses the Blink rendering engine. I'd happily trade customisable launcher pages and a more basic presentation for quicker loading.

The option to restart on checkpoints and warps when you test a level, the parallaxing backgrounds, and the camera grid.

The massive amount of NPCs. Not only you can make custom ones, but the vanilla options are plentiful. So many combinations for levels.

Honestly, Sprite configuration. Now it was really never that difficult to begin with in the legacy days as long as you knew what to type for each speciation, but having it as a built in feature is just one of those things "we didn't really need but boy are we glad we have it", if you catch my drift.

Expanded Misc. section of NPCs and Blocks.

...oink oink oink oink...

darkness & screen effects are my favorite!
