Toad Goes to Outer Space (Fort Cosmos - 9-6)

[FutureNyanCat]

This is Toad Goes to Outer Space, my first project which only features Toad, who goes on an action-packed space adventure to rescue Princess Peach again. It was first showcased to Knux's community, and Chill Pingu and gonzales immediately attracted to it because their favorite character is Toad. This will also be one of my first episodes to have compatibility with the upcoming SMBX 1.3.0.1! Anyways, enough of that, as we'll get to the storyline!

Storyline
In the evening, Toad was eating his favorite dinner, which is mushroom! (DON'T TAKE IT FOR CANNIBALISM: This breaks Mario Logic!) However, Rico barges into the door to yell once again at Toad - Princess Peach has been kidnapped...AGAIN! But even worse: The Mario Brothers (Mario and Luigi) are not there to save her because they were busy going on another adventure. And the worst of all: Bowser is behind this, but his fleet is much stronger than ever. He plans to use all of Peach's energy to make a large laser that will destroy Earth in a second. To prevent Toad from getting inside his space station, he locked it with the stars and all of the comet pieces across eight worlds! Luckily, Toad has made it to the space station just in time for his out-of-this-world adventure. It's up to Toad to collect the stars and rescue the princess from Bowser once again in outer space!

TODAY'S SNEAK PEEK: World 9-6 - Fort Cosmos (Moon)
1ST SCREENSHOT (June 8, 2014)

Before I watched the final episode of "My Guardian Angel" on ABS-CBN, I got the chance to use Shikaternia's space tileset combined with AirShip's Moon Palace tileset to make a new level called "Fort Cosmos". It will also include a boss battle, although I'm not sure about it.
2ND SCREENSHOT (June 9, 2014)

The final episode of "My Guardian Angel" on ABS-CBN finally resulted in a happy ending, however after watching it, I forgot to work on Toad Goes to Outer Space! The next day, I made more progress in Fort Cosmos - I added enemies, and yellow and blue pipes will dot all areas of the castle.

Looks like a bit more regular level designing style. Your graphic choose is pretty much standard and nothing really special :P

But that's the way we all like it!

Same,but the fact that Toad is the only and main protagonist makes it more interensting (thinking that many episodes have mario and lugi as protagonists).

Going to wait more worlds to play this episode,as it look good.

SNEAK PREVIEW!

I started work on Cogwheel Convention when I heard about the newest episodes of Be Careful with My Heart, and I started work on Mechanical Planet, too. It's 7-2 of my project.

[FutureNyanCat]

I made a logo, what do you think?

[Navi]

Suggestion: Make toad SMB3/SMW style.
And nice logo.

[FutureNyanCat]

No need to make Toad SMB3/SMW style. Style clash is not the problem anymore, unless it's intensive. Also, using custom player graphics may crash 32bit PCs...

[Kingbowser112]

I like your Logo, it's nice! Well, all your episode it's nice so Good Work!

[FutureNyanCat]

Thanks, kingbowser112!

[Kingbowser112]

Really! I'm not kidding, also I've your DEMO and I must be honestly: IT'S BEATIFUL! Good work!

[FutureNyanCat]

Nice to see you test the demo. Thanks for playing it! BTW, after I finish Planet Botania and Aqua, I'll release Demo 2, which patches the problems when people collect the stars (They would be transported back to the intro if they do), and contains Planet Botania and Aqua alongside with Planet Spore.

Time for another screenie! Astro Industries. The final level of Mechanical Planet which takes place in a space factory full of tricks and traps. The boss there is Mecha Brother who uses a modified Halo Rocket launcher to shoot lasers at you. Once you defeat him, his system shuts down, and you gain the next comet piece. It autoscrolls, too.

[FutureNyanCat]

Watching the pilot episode of Carmela on GMA Channel 10 gave me the chance to fuel some progress on Sandstrewn Planet! 4-5: Desert Attack. It's a war against the Hyper Hammer Bros who throw fiery and flashing hammers at unsuspecting people. It takes place at night.

For those who are wondering why the Robot Koopas are not there in the Sandstrewn Planet, here is why: In the desert itself, the Robot Koopas could not keep up with the maxed out temperature, and they decided to flee. Mummy Koopas take the place of the Robot Koopas.

[Chill Pingu]

nice to know this thing is still alive. also make that level of yours magnetic mayem a level of this episode so you have -1 level to work!

[zlaker]

There are so many great projects out there and this is one of them. But this is uniqe. It stars Toad and takes place in the space. I'd love to be a beta tester (even though I got 4 other beta tester jobs). It's an original project, great looking and it looks fun. Looks like you my friend has becomed a rival. Watch out there pal! BTW good luck and you got my support.

Who made the grinder robot, and could I please have it?

[FutureNyanCat]

Who made the grinder robot, and could I please have it?

It was made by AirShip. You can ask him about it.

Also, Dum dum dum dummm! I was actually working on Toad Goes to Outer Space while I was offline at the forums. Additionally, I started three levels for The Planet of Tubes, so here's the screenshot of the last level of The Planet of Tubes.

Chateau de Tuyau is a large pipe palace. The 6th comet piece there was guarded by a Piranhacus Alienus, which was a large species of the Alien Piranhas, and the main leader of the Alien Piranhas.

[HeroLinik]

HOLY SHIT DID YOU USE GRAPHICS FROM TOWER OF BIASED???!!

That is a really cool screenshot and it actually feels like the player is in a castle. Considering your age you are actually a good designer - I'm somewhat worse if I have to admit it!

[Navi]

OH MAH GAWD IT'S TRUE YOU USED TOWER OF BIASED GRAPHICS!

It really looks like a pipe palace because of that BG and good luck on that again.

[FutureNyanCat]

Wait a minute! Did you know that I used the graphics from Valtteri's Graphics Pack? This made my levels much more appealing to it, and that's why you said the graphics are from ToB5. In addition to that - you didn't even see my steep slopes!
