• When you select your player count, select SMW styled or NSMBWii styled co-op
• Auto Walk paths on World map
• Players can choice their own routes like in SMW (World Map)
• Different animations for when walking though water versus walking on land, or walking on clouds, or though lava. You can do these things in the world map settings.
  • Land: Walk
  • Water: Swim.Boat
  • Sky/Clouds: Fly in an airship
  • Lava: Boat/stones rise and fall for the player to walk across
  • Rock: Climb
• For episode that are willing, why not have a mode option?
• Have a special world map animation for Yoshi's and boots
• End Goal has an option to remove the Yoshi or Boot
• SMB1 Flag Goal
• SMB1 Secret Exit Flag
• Background Layers
  • Blocks that move with the background (as seen with the final level of Touhou Mario: https://youtu.be/xPj4CVQ226Y?t=2m52s

i just found a way to get it working in window 8.1: go to the control panel and go to region and change format to Chinese(simplified, china), it worked straight off the bat for me!

MECHDRAGON777 wrote:Here is a few suggestions:
........

• When you select your player count, select SMW styled or NSMBWii styled co-op
  A: Are you means sequential and parallel co-op? I.e. in first case only one player can play a level. In second - multiple players are can play same level together. I think, that would be a good thing.
• Auto Walk paths on World map
  A: Already suggested, so, I think, I will apply autowalking that paths which are has alone forward/left/right way, and player will stop not only on level points: on a crossroads too, where player has a multiple ways. Even in some episodes was made a matrix of a path tiles, so, if it will be autowalkable, in result gameplay will not be convenient, therefore I should allow autowalking only on lines and keep manual walking on matrixes and crossroads.
• Players can choice their own routes like in SMW (World Map)
  A: I wasn't understood this moment right, can you explain it me more detail?
• Different animations for when walking though water versus walking on land, or walking on clouds, or though lava. You can do these things in the world map settings.
  • Land: Walk
  • Water: Swim.Boat
  • Sky/Clouds: Fly in an airship
  • Lava: Boat/stones rise and fall for the player to walk across
  • Rock: Climb
  A: I will apply that for SMB Xtended, because lots of SMBX 1.3-made episodes with customized world map playables are designed to use alone sprite, so, if that sprite replaced with another, in new config pack you will see default image when player going through water/clouds/lava/rocks/etc., or has Yoshi/Show or another vehicle. So, I would toggle sprite animation dependent to current Path/Level-ID's and dependent to states (has vehicle/powerup, etc.). What about boats - that a nice thing too, which allows you to limitedly walk on some tiles without paths.
• For episode that are willing, why not have a mode option?
  A: Are you mean custom episode modes like Easy/Normal/Hard? That would use lua and global variable with condition-based events to toggle easy/normal/hard layers with different sets of enemies for example. That a good idea to allow multi-mode episodes. So, I would have that in splited episode-settings file (I have plan to allow multiple different world maps to provide separated sets of CGFX per each world map, but I must have separated file of episode settings)
• Have a special world map animation for Yoshi's and boots
  A: Already answered on question below
• End Goal has an option to remove the Yoshi or Boot
  A: Lua is cool: you would remove vehicle of playable character when it "kills by taking" that NPC. That thing is possible to implement as NPC-AI part. Don't forget than I allowing per-episode/per-level customization of NPC-AI's via npc.txt's script="myscript.lua" tag with placing that script into episode/level folder. NPC-AI + Skeleton + API documentation is available on Wiki (WIP, but it has much of exists things)
• SMB1 Flag Goal
  A: That will be added to SMB Xtended. Any new blocks, BGOs, NPCs (exits are NPC's too!), power-ups are will be implemented as part of SMB Xtended config pack. Any pge_engine's things are hardcoded mechanics, internal API things, physics, additional custom configs support, multibackgrounds support, different ways to "no-back", etc., I.e. everything which has no references to specific character or enemy of Mario world.
  
• SMB1 Secret Exit Flag
  A: Same answer
• Background Layers
  • Blocks that move with the background (as seen with the final level of Touhou Mario: https://youtu.be/xPj4CVQ226Y?t=2m52s

• A: Foreground background2 is already planned as part of Multi-layered background system support. But blocks which are moving together with background: it's wonderful, illusion, magic xD, so, nice trick! Anyway you already can implement that yourself via LunaLUA where you need to move blocks relatively to player position at screen height. That a simple formula which I uses to take vertical parallax of each background.
• Character/NPC switching as in
  Spoiler: show
  
  A: Nice color tricks, I think, that is not dependent to playable character and those tricks would be possible to apply as lua-script over render parameters mods: so, render all objects with black and background as white, and invert: render background as black and any objects as white I will provide that lua API to have this thing
• On the world map if you have auto walk enabled, make warp pipes or any thing have an option to auto warp like the door to Vanilla Dome
  A: Good thing, also to make that sielent (usually it plays a pipe-enter sound when you enter to that, but I will add checkbox to the context menu to make that work sielent and antuenter when player touches that)
  
• Make it so that if you beat a Castle or Fortress, it destroys it
  A: That will be a world-map events part
• Option to lock levels after beating them unless you activate new game plus
  A: same
• Add a new game plus option for episodes
  A: Currently PGE Engine uses alone save1.savx file for a gamesave. Later I will implement gamesaves management, so, you can have unlimited gamesaves number + ability to erase saves or begin playing episode from begin
  
• World Map events
  A: Already planned
• Global Events
  A: Global variables will be, but events would be condition dependent, or if you wish have global events, you would write them as lua scripts
  
• Yoshi's for all
  A: I wish to have that too, therefore already planned
• Boot for Link
  A: Already planned
• Warp Cannon
  A: Already planned
• Frog Suit
  A: Planned for SMB Xtended
• Star Man

  A: Time is going, new elements are appears in lists, and recently "reserved" slots will be busy. So, each this update you would need to reorganize your levels. However, if you was used script="" tag in your npc.txt file, you will even able to make anybody to acting as ... for example... Bowser III-rd! Because I'm allowing to customize NPC AI's via custom lua scripts

• Players can choice their own routes like in SMW (World Map)

If you have it like SMW where players play independently 1 at a time, you can have it so players walk each seperate of them selves as well. If on Invasion 2, you can say player one beat a secret exit and automaticaly noves to yhe new path, player 2 stays so she (or he) can do the normal exit or go else where.
