...So. You probably wonder what exactly I do in my spare time, when I fire up SMBX.
Well, I have to make sure the 4matsy-brand Mario skills don't go *blows a raspberry and sticks thumb down*, so occasionally I fire up stupid challenge levels like this. :D
You've got 2 hammer suits (read: 3 hits) and a flamethrower per player.
You are pitted against all 9 unique bosses that SMBX has to offer.
...simultaneously. >:D

4matsy's survival tips:
- Don't use Link. Just...don't. XD I freely admit, the challenge just isn't designed for him, lol. (Although feel free to post video proof if you do indeed manage to beat this level with him, by some oddball miracle... :o)
- Go after Ludwig, Larry, and Boom Boom as high-priority targets. Those are the ones that will kill you most of the time (well...besides SMB3 Bowser, who is too tanky to take out immediately anyway...<_<;).
- Peach and Toad have it easy. They can just duck on the left side and spam the flamethrower without being interrupted by getting hit until they get shrunk, then go for the extra hammer suits (if in 1-player mode).
Known bugs/other issues:
- You may notice the 1-block-thick wall of SMB1 blocks in front of Mother Brain. This is there to keep SMB3 Bowser out, but apparently it doesn't do its job...regardless of how thick said wall is. Tried it with no wall there, tried it with 4-block thickness there, and he still got up into the roof when I stood next to the right wall. o_O Dunno what to do about that...
- As Peach, Toad, or Link, don't crouch at the beginning when the hammer suits are falling on you, or crouch-slide into the 2nd batch of hammer suits, if you're playing alone. The collision boxes will go haywire and you'll end up zipping into the floor as a result. ··
So, uh, yeah, that's about it. Feel free to post in this thread any neat modifications of this simple little level that you came up with, or whatever (since it is only a single screen, after all...and completely vanilla. Heh :p).
