The Salt Pile / Newest Addition: Cold Goat!

Welcome to my level thread, gamers. There are six stages available in total! Expect a new one to drop... eventually. Maybe.

Image Empire Ants (CCX2 12th Place)
Spoiler: show
Download Link

A level which takes place in a dark underground city. It features ant troopers, sparkies and walljumps as its main gimmicks. It should technically be beatable with all five characters, but since I've only tested it with Mario, I recommend playing as him.

Aaaaand a playthrough. Yeah.

My NLC2 entry is available now! Both powerups and the spin jump are unavailable in this level. Like last time, I recommend playing as Mario. Also, you may or may not know that this level originally had a different name, but I changed it retroactively, because it was quite similar to a completely different stage's name. Anyway, while I definitely think that I went too far with a couple of setups, I hope that you end up liking this level!


Here's a complete playthrough:


Image Shifty Shore (Sciencecon 2023)

More of a tech demo than a full-blown level. This one's all about a specific movement technique with Link and also served as a bit of an aesthetic test for me, because I felt like it.

And another playthrough:


Image Clockwork Plumber
Spoiler: show
Download link!

A vanilla stage that uses firebars as its only obstacle. Only tested with small Mario, hence I recommend that you play it as him.

Also, here's a playthrough!

Image Gutter Greenery

I designed this almost two years ago, for a project that is unfortunately dead by now. I still like this level a lot though and think that it can stand on its own when removed from its original context, hence I figured I could preserve it in my level thread. Designed with Mario, Luigi and Toad in mind.

ImageDemolition Dudes (CCX4 18th Place)

My CCX entry from last year. This level has only been tested with the standard Toad costume and I do not recommend to play it with anything else because it might break, lol.

Here is a playthrough of it!

Swag!


Inspired by the 'What's Your Favorite Powerup?' thread, I figured it'd be fun to dedicate a small level to my beloved Ice Flower. Wouldn't really call this a fully fleshed out stage, but instead a showcase of a couple interactions and uses I could think of.

As always, a playthrough is available on my YouTube channel!

This level is awesome! You have conjured up the walljump gimmick and bounce on the ants very well throughout the level. The autoscroll section was very well done and a great ending. Definitely one of my favorite levels of the contest, in my opinion it deserved even a higher placement, I'm looking foward for next levels you would share here

Interesting level idea, but you shouldn't be this salty.

New Saltlord just dropped. Kind of? A mini-level, anyway!

I admire the creativity applied to all the setups! I especially love the setup where you're on an elevator controlled by an underwater Toad. This level is highly replayable, too. I beat the level four times, looking for ways to beat several setups creatively. The Ice Flower at the beginning of the level tells you to press alt jump to reset the section, but the level reset is set to alt run. Besides that, I had a thrill playing this level. This level proves why the Ice Flower is the best SMBX power-up!
