Do you go for secret exits or standard exits first?

[HeroLinik]

I go for the secret exits first, because it takes off the pressure of having to search the whole level when you're only going for the standard exit.

[bossedit8]

This depends. I go for normal exits first if the level is easy but when it gets more difficult I aim for the secret one first but overall... depends.

[ShadowStarX]

If I get to the secret exit first, I take it first but if I don't find it easily, I aim for the normal one first, sometimes I don't even take the secret until I get around 70% progress. But it's really random anyway.

Did you mean

[Mable]

IDC which exit i go honestly and pls goddamnit those threads seriously they get annoying now imo. Just make 1 thread about it and not 1 for every thing you want to ask dude.

[Shadow Yoshi]

It's okay to have multiple discussion topics for the different aspects of playing SMBX.

[Chip Potato]

If I find the thing necessary for a secret exit before I finish the level, I go for the secret exit. Otherwise, I just go for the standard exit.

[Tango]

What i find first. I'd like to explore everywhere, inclusive abuse of bugs to maybe find secret areas and entering every pipe, as too i use Raccoon Leaf to fly everyplace if the ceiling of the level isn't blocked. Even if isn't a Secret Exit Level. But isn't ever i attempt to find it successful, so I give up and goes to normal exit to try again later.

[PopYoshi]

My instincts guide me because sometimes I tend to take a secret exit without realizing it believing that it is the normal exit

[Zeldamaster12]

I usually go for standard exits first. However I do sometimes run into the secret exit first.

[RudeGuy]

I go around in the level until I find an exit, not caring if it's the secret one or not.

[mechamind]

I will often try for the secret exit first if I think it's going to be fast enough. If I feel it's going to take too long, I may go for the normal exit first. It's a habit that can be related to "Start+Select" in Super Mario World.

[zlaker]

I usually go for the normal exit first, then for the secret exit.

[Magician]

I just sort of... play the game?

I dunno. Being on the lookout for secrets in general can get you to the secret exit, and when you have it, you don't need to look for it. I've gotten exits before without even knowing they were supposed to be secret. Generally though I go back and replay if I can tell there's a secret.

[Suckerman7 GM]

I usually find secret exits first, then the standard exits. Because when I complete the level, I became too nervous if the level is extremely hard to play again.

[Ecruteak]

I go for the secret exits first, then the normal exits. I always get paranoid that I'm gonna do the normal exit and forget about the secret one, so that's why I do secret exits first.

[MECHDRAGON777]

I tend to get the secret exit at first! I tend to do it in a OECD run fashion as well! Blind, 100% speedruns are annyoing when yet have a lot of secret exits however!

At first glance, I thought this asked: what toe of exit so you place in your levels most offten, and recently, I started doing a flag-pole exit...

My question is, when a level has three or four exits, how do you know what each exit is?

[RoundPiplup]

I usually go for the standard exit first if the story interests me. But there are times that I still go find secret exits first, maybe because they weren't that hard to find overall.

[zxcv]

I finish the exit that I find first.Sometimes I replay the level to pick the another exit and other times I return lately.
