The episode has all the submissions from Community Contest 8 in the order they placed, you know the deal. This time the hub consists of multiple areas and it's probably the most graphic packed level in the history of SMBX. :O I'd go into greater detail but then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore. ;)
I made the hub and Quill helped with the testing a bit. Big thanks to the participants and the judges too (bossedit8, Chad, Emral, Quill, TNTtimelord). The judges were a big help when I fixed the levels to work in-game. DarkMatt provided the difficulty ratings, thanks to him for those. It was Chad's idea. Basically I placed a 1-3/3 rating above each level and it would indicate the difficulty of the level. 1 means easy, 2 means medium and 3 means hard. I hope you'll find them to be helpful. And Panda is to thank for the following graphics used in the hub: Elsah's hair, Panda's hair, ice fences.
The main download has been updated with the patch so if you're downloading it for the first time you don't have to download this patch.
Patch 3 (Aug 31) https://www.mediafire.com/?b0w47xsufm7s32w
And please, should you find any bugs, especially game breaking ones, report them immediately! There shouldn't be many, I thought I tested the game quite thoroughly. Enjoy, and leave comments too!
Thanks for making the hub SMB2 Styled. I love that style. Since it's rarely used, it's the most beautiful style to play in (at least for me). Also yay, this ToB is finally out!
How I hate my SLL connection error preventing the captcha to show up. I'll still have to wait a few days until I can play this. I look forward to it, though.
This looks very interesting so far. At least I am completly done with ToB6 and now I can enter ToB7 even know I still have a lot of SMBX Episodes to deal with. Prepare!
WHOA, REALLY?! AN SMB2 HUB? DUDE YOU SAID IT WAS GONNA BE AN SMW HUB
Joking aside, I can't believe it's finally out. Can't wait to play it, especially my level which is lurking somewhere at the top of Tier 2 and it's got Frozen references all over the place!!

Agreed. Just because I have an SMW esque SMBX project doesn't mean I'm a 100% SMW fanatic. SMB2 is a beautiful game and the style works in TOB7 really well, I think.
Okay, this looks FREAKIN' AWESOME! Oh yeah, as Valtteri said, I've been working on the TOB 7 trailer. I'll probably have that finished tomorrow or the next day. I might have it finished today.
