Hello to all of you!

I. Overall:

"SMBX: The Fallen Spirits" is my second SMBX episode that I started working on about half a year ago. It will be slightly different compared to my first SMBX episode "Another Adventure"

"The Fallen Spirits" has a greater focus on story, exploration and fun. I've once again composed the music for this episode myself. I've also drawn almost all NPCs myself this time. There will be 100 Spirit Cells (~ Stars) to collect. There is one main hubworld, "The Spirit Kingdom", 5 worlds with 3 normal levels and an additional extra level per world, which can only be unlocked by collecting every single Spirit Cell in the 3 normal stages. This means that each world is made in 1 LVL-file, and I really went close to SMBX's limits for each LVL-file. Some stages also contain 5 Spirit Cell Fragments which, if collected, open up the way to a secret Spirit Cell.

1. Level Design
- The Level design is similar to my episode "Another Adventure", but a little less linear, since the episode focusses on exploration. The stages are also way bigger than the ones in my first episode. Additionally, you can find lots of secrets hidden in "suspicious" walls, just like in Yoshi, DK and the NSMB games

- Credits for the BGs and BGOs that I used (There will be a fully detailed credits file after the release!):

2. Creative Gimmicks
3. Custom Music
4. Exploring a world full of creatures called "Spirits". Their kingdom has fallen into sadness and despair, caused by a new antagonist (which will not yet be revealed!)
5. Once again, hopefully some fun and enjoyment

II. Story:
Spirits are souls that are shaped like stars. Their source of energy, the "Spirit Cells", maintain harmony and peace in the worlds. For thousands of years the Spirits lived in peaceful coexistence when one day, an unknown creature stole the Spirit Cells, broke them to pieces and attacked the Spirits. The Spirit Kingdom sank into darkness, despair and emptiness. One of the blue Spirits, Stario, was able to flee from the evil creature, but fell down exhausted from heaven and landed straight on Mario's head. Having told Mario what happened, he took a heroic nap before Stario showed Mario the way to the Spirit Kingdom...

III. Music

IV. Additional Information

- This episode is not intended to be played by multiple players simultaneously.

V. Example Screenshots

I hope you're looking forward to playing this episode!

It's about 90% complete. I hope I'll be able to finish it within 2-3 weeks.

Thank you! Although this episode has quite a different approach compared to my first, you should still have some fun, hopefully.
