SERIOUS BUSINESS
by tangy

What if Unfinished Business was actually finished? Look no further.
The first ever double-sided SMBX episode. Two main game modes to play!

LP Mode
A standard SMBX episode. World map, secret exits, no lives, the works. Find Bowser's lair and surprise him!

Arcade Mode
A brand new kind of SMBX episode! Play every level in a row and try to get a high score... but dying costs $1.00! Collect every coin and make your money last.

Feel free to paste a screenshot of your Arcade Mode score here, if you give it a shot. Thanks!

just finished getting 100% progress on lp mode and wow what a phenomenal episode. other than maybe a few very localized (think like one specific obstacle) instances i had a ton of fun the whole way through. from the presentation to the ideas to the humor the entire episode is oozing with personality and i'm really glad i played it. while i could probably go on about like half the levels my favorites are probably
Spoiler: show
slippery air, dangling dungeon (dragon coins), wendy's castle and the green switch palace
those just particularly spoke to me and i feel they really exemplify the overall vibe, but like i said there are so many gems in this

i think the thing i liked most about the episode is that none of the levels feel the need to explain themselves. the design is laid bare, presented in a very raw manner, and if you don't like it then you can go somewhere else and try again later or take a different way around (the open nature of the world map helps with this feeling quite a bit). it never coddles nor does it really accommodate, but not once does it feel like it's being lazy or wasting your time out of carelessness, really just a fantastic package that i'm glad you made, big ups

maybe i'll give arcade mode a shot some time but no guarantees :p

not to be rude or anything but why is the world map that really simple??? (i mean the graphics and all, i might also probably might point out about the scenery placement, but eh its fine anyways). Great episode btw, ill probably play this someday
