Temporary title graphic by Kep.

Tired of SMBX episodes having super fancy stories, forum members you haven't even heard of, or CD-quality soundtracks ripped from some mediocre New Super Mario Bros. installment?

Well have a gander at Yumetaro's first episode Yet Another SMBX Episode!

Story
Same old, same old, Peach is kidnapped by Bowser, go save her.

Screenshots

Spoiler: show

Worlds
There are 6 worlds and 8 levels in each of them. Along with 2 secret levels each, an extra secret world, and one huge final level for beating all of the other levels. In total, 69 levels.
The worlds don't stick to one single theme, some change a "theme" halfway, but the levels in the world are going to be unique as possible.

There will be also towns to visit, some contain Toad Houses, places to chat with some NPCs, and maybe some familiar faces.

World 1: 7/8 Levels finished
World 2: 2/8 Levels finished
World 3: 0/8 Levels finished
World 4: 1/8 Levels finished
World 5: 0/8 Levels finished
World 6: 2/4 Levels finished
Bowser's Castle: 0/4 finished
Secret Levels: 0/12 finished
Secret World: 0/8 finished

Music
This episode will have music! But only music from SNES games, to compliment the SNES graphical style SMBX has.
The soundtrack includes awesome tracks from your favorite classics like:

Super Mario Bros 1,2,3 (Super Mario All-Stars)
Yoshi's Island
Mega Man X
Kirby Super Star
Chrono Trigger
Contra 3
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time
...and more!

Plus, some from SNES games you don't know!

The Lost Vikings
Waterworld
Gradius 3
Axelay
Metal Slader Glory: Director's Cut
Kirby's Dream Land 3
Spanky's Quest
...and more!

Other Things/NEWS
I am accepting advice for levels and soundtrack ideas, just PM me if you want a track from your favorite SNES game in the episode.

Oh man, this looks really nice. However, I recommend you add more BGOs in the fourth screen, and what's up with the weirdly outlined as well as weirdly colored blue blocks at the bottom of the first screen?

Once you start designing level 69, you're screwed.

OKAY SORRY I HAD TO

Ha ha, prepare for the copius amounts of juvenile sexual humor that will fill your inbox.

The weirdly colored blocks in the bottom of the fourth screen is water. The fortress in said screen will be a water fortress.

Can be strange, but i think creative episodes that focus on Peach rescue, because they are missing here in the forums...

Well, like i can see, you are making good use of Vanilla graphics, and that's good. Anyway, good luck with your project.
