Quest for Cheeseburgers

DylanJ · Postby **DylanJ** » Wed Jul 08, 2020 9:51 pm

This is an episode that I had been working on since 2018, finished in early 2019, and now I am looking to upload and share this episode. It contains 6 main worlds, 3 side worlds, 74 stars, and 23 boss fights. It is long and can be fairly challenging, you have been warned. Please let me know if there are any bugs or problems in this episode, and I shall fix them as soon as I can.

Even though this episode is pretty much massive already, there may also be some added content in the future, so stay tuned if that happens.

It is recommended that this episode is played with SMBX 1.3.0.1 if you want everything to work smoothly.

Though TheXTech, ReInvent and X2 should run this without any problems.

I'm looking forward to play this eventually, the screens already tell that a good amount of effort went into this!

This seems like a pretty big episode, the zip is huge compared to some other episodes I've downloaded. I'm definitely trying it, though!

I first suspected that there were overly long music files in it, but no, there's just a great amount of them

What's the plot of this episode?
Also I think the pics look nice but the name is not very good.

In the beginning arc, Mario is tasked with finding a bunch of stolen burgers from a town. He also thinks that Bowser stole those burgers so he decides to stop by his castle. That is the basic starting plot of the game. There is another plot of the game which can be experienced after defeating the boss of the first arc, which is in World 5. And I am sorry you don't like the name. I can change it if you want but this is just what I chose as of now.

I meant the name is not much good because it can make me undderstand the plot is not good so much, because it's weird it's about some burgers.. So you dont need to change the name.

Ok, well, like I said before there's another plot line in the game after beating the first plot line. And I didn't really say the second plot line was gonna be about burgers, so I might want to change the name anyway because I feel like it wouldn't be so relevant after the first arc is beaten.

Like, don't take the name too seriously. I think it's a bit funny and remarkable.

I see in your screen shot, you have yellow dot with 2 exit and red dot with only 1 exit, you know that red dot mean 2 exit right?

In this episode, levels with yellow dots mean they are normal levels with normal exit points. Levels with red dots have bosses at the end of them.

That's actually confusing for players. During the first red level I thought I had to always look out for a potential secret exit, and then wondered where I missed it.

Are there any secret exits in this episode?

Also Eclipsed already did all of it and left a huge feedback post here. Pretty harsh, but a good base to polish this for a next version.

There are some secret exits in this episode. Some keyholes are shown in plain sight while others must be found in secrets. And to avoid confusion I suppose I should make the levels that have secret exits levels with red icons instead of yellow.

And I have read Eclipsed's review and am looking to update the episode later on. I get most of what he is saying but I would have appreciated it if he were to tell me exactly where he was having the problem so I can know where it is and how to fix it. And to be fair this episode was really hard and annoying for me too, coming from the creator himself. I will take some time to make this episode less tedious and struggling to play with, but it won't really be easy. There are a lot of events and objects in each level that it make take some time to tweak them all. I also am working on another episode right now so that's another thing. The episode is not finished yet but I will tell you now that this upcoming episode eliminates the mechanic of mid-bosses for stars. Looking back on it, that didn't seem like a good mechanic to put in.
But about this current episode's updates I may not do it now but I will work with it eventually. I may also remove the download link and advise people to wait for either the new episode or until this episode is updated. In the meantime, since you're playing the episode, you could also maybe run through it and point out what's wrong with it as you go along. I will also keep Eclipsed's criticism in mind as I attempt to update the episode.

Removing the download link when the thread is already up is a bit pointless. Just write in the first post that an update is coming.

Well 'm currently playing it and I have to say that this episode is great and better than I thought.
I really thought the plot is horrible but you made it a bit jokey and funny so it made it to be not so bad. The levels were great as well.
Well done! Sorry I doubted you about the name and plot.

I'm glad you enjoy it but feel free to report any problems you run into with the episode. I have plans for updating it and this kind of criticism is appreciated. But be specific about what exactly you ran into so I know where the problem is and that it's easier to locate and fix.
