[KurttheKing]

Peakest pack in a long while. SPM, PVZ, AND Pac-Man in one package. This is gonna be fun :3

[Pixelated_Perfection]

This looks amazing!

[mariobrigade2018]

bumping this because there's an update to this.

[fexhvhbdsf864]

You can make for more PVZ Plants and Zombies?

[Tendo64]

I love this pack, to clarify!!!!

But it seems that the Tileoid speed types break if you warp into a section with them that isn't the starting section. Otherwise their behaviors function normally. I even checked generators, and it seems that if they are spawned AFTER warping into a section they are 100% fine, but the ones in there from the start do not.

Seems like you had a lot of trouble coding them so I don't want to stress you out even more but,,, just felt this bug was worth mentioning! ^^"

[Pjerun]

Love the pack, especially mimic blocks and horse races :p

[MarioChallengerX2]

Bumping again since it got updated to V.1.2.6

[DeviousQuacks23]

bumping bc of pack updates
ALSO ROLLING HILLS!

[PizzaNoob]

For some reason, I get this error when I try to put in a rolling hill. I can see that fakeblocks.lua is involved, but I don't know what to do...



Edit: Nevermind, turns out those extra blocks are there for a reason… (probably for the circling platform’s collision I’m assuming)

I FIXED IT!
I finally got around to fixing this! I hate my procrastination.

While I do admit the npc portraits are neat, it would be great if we could see some gifs of some of the npcs in action, especially the circular platforms.

[mariobrigade2018]

There needs to be another video.

[Starman97]

Love this pack. Although, does Mr. L only walk around? I know in SMP that he does a charged super jump and other minor attacks but when I put him into a test level. He just ran around and didn't attack me at all.

[mariobrigade2018]

He does that super jump, use items, and shoots a fireball if he hasn’t been hit. The pack comes with a demo level, so check if he’s working there.

[Donkdonker124]

I can't seem to find the inflatable balloon and green spiny NPCs. Are they not in the pack yet?
