The Ultimate Expedition (Beta 1.0.1, Patch Over Beta 1)

[vitzie629]

The Ultimate Expedition is an episode which will feature mostly Super Mario Bros. 3 (SMB3) content including the levels and the world map's tiles and some level icons. The paths and most of the level icons on the world map are from Super Mario World (SMW). It also features some functionality for the players from the New Super Mario Bros. (NSMB) series (NSMB DS, NSMBW, NSMB2, & NSMBU/NSMBU Deluxe) including a wall jump, a power-up guard, a ground pound, and a mid air twirl. Additionally, warp transitions are also included throughout the episode. There are also star coins in each level (apart from the switch palaces and mushroom houses), as well as a red ring for collecting eight red coins. Not only this episode has mostly SMB3 content, there are also some Super Mario Bros. (SMB1), and Super Mario Bros. 2 (SMB2) content including some levels. This episode was originally called "Curse of the Giant Bowser" and I decided to change the episode's title to make it better in my opinion.

Beta 1 has officially been released & there has been changes from the pre-release of beta 1 like the world map being revamped, all levels having the SMB3 card roulette exit, & more! Download link for beta 1 is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ENfD-Z ... sp=sharing. While beta 1.0.1 recently came out which is a patch over beta 1 & a download link is found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sTo030 ... sp=sharing, despite beta 1.0.1 being exactly the same as beta 1, the only thing added is the new costumes for Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, & Link. There is a written guide & YouTube guide below on how to install beta 1.0.1 over beta 1 of my episode.
