How do I make my game go from level to level (no world or hub)?

How can i make my game go from level to level without any worlds or hub levels in between?
I read the editor manual, and it says to enable no world map, make an autostart level,
and put the world and levels in the same folder so it can recognize the levels a collection.
and when i do all of that, it doesn't work!

I tried naming the levels 1, 2, 3... 01, 02, 03... 1-1, 1-2, 1-3...
and it still doesn't work! it loads the auto start level, but when i finish it,
it puts me back to the world map, even tough i enabled no world map.
Please can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong.
it would be very helpful.

You gotta set warps which lead from one level file to another. It only works with door and pipe warps, though. Keep in mind that by making an episode like this you'll be unable to ever save outside the level you set as your autostart level on the disabled world map.

Thanks! that will be very helpful.

but, is there really no way to use other types of exits
such as star or key exits?

If you do that you will jump back onto the first level you enter the game with.

SMBX only supports world map or hub-based progression. Level-to-level progression requires a bit of a hack (what I said earlier).

By the way, if you didn't know this already, SMW Stars don't count as ending a level but still valueable collecting of stars on your overall star counter.
