My SMBX episode

I have created an episode called "Mario's Adventure". This is my first ever episode I have created (even though it's more like random levels). The "episode" has a few short levels and 11 stars to collect. The levels are unnamed (well unless you actually look at the level file names). Smbx 1.4.4 (38A) required, and you can't use Smbx 2.0.

Known bugs:
Level 7 shares the same spot as gameover.level, just with enterance 1 instead of the original starting point, so when you exit the stage in any way, (dying, returning through the pipe, or collecting the star,) you end the game and you have to go back in to play the final level.
Some pipes or doors say the amount of stars in the same level you're in, so that can throw you off on how many stars are actually in the level.

Some of these screenshots are images of the later levels in the episode.

Okay, yes, I get it. You couldn't see the photos. I had photos there, but google deleted them. I switched to Imgur so now the pictures should stay visible.

I think you should put more specifications and not copy and paste your previous post.

Well, the world map doesn't work, and most of the levels just crash SMBX. I could only get catmario.lvl, redcoins.lvl, gameover.lvl, skybase.lvl, and switchascent.lvl to work. They were all short and pretty bland. Some levels, like skybase.lvl, seem to have missing platforms with enemies falling out of the air. Catmario.lvl especially wasn't fun because the challenge was cheap and unfair. (Unfair/Rage levels are usually frowned upon here)

Making levels takes thought, planning, and testing. I would recommend playing a few SMBX episodes to help you get a feel for what good design looks and plays like. That being said, I know it's your first episode, and you'll improve with practice. I hope to see more of your work in the future!

Hmm... Which version were you playing on? I didn't include a world map on mine. Instead, it was a hub level that you are sent to, hub.lvl, perhaps that level crashes your game? Also, catmario.lvl is supposed to be unfair because it's supposed to be similar to this game:

(for some reason the video starts at 144p idk why)
The enemies falling from the sky were supposed to have wings that made them stay in the air, and the levels that crashed could have had things that whatever your version is doesn't support, if you aren't using 1.4.4.

I'm using 2.0. If this is meant for a specific version then you should specify it in the OP.
And even if the catmario level is based on something (which I know it is), it's still not fun and causes cheap deaths. Most people aren't gonna want to play an episode that does that.

I just changed it to say it requires 1.4.4 and that you cannot use 2.0.
Also, I originally created this episode just for me, never intending to post it on here. I might eventually post a walkthrough for the levels that have hidden blocks that are in fairly tough locations (catmario.lvl, section 2 of gameover.lvl)
It makes since that your game crashes on some of the levels, as some contain things like mini mushrooms and mega mushrooms, which 2.0 doesn't have yet.
