People comparing 1.4.x and 2.0, even though they are both good versions with their own respective upsides and downsides.

When SMBX2 is referred to as 2.0 and SMBX38A is referred to as 1.4.x

When the boss is low enough hell just jump in the lava. Here's raocow beating the boss on his first try when he had far less experience and play time in SMBX than you have

True.

I realized that I was also wrong on the "Bronze Fortress" part, the spikes just spawn and despawn repeatedly, but that's just a bug on my side (all events go disfunctional upon first death)

Generic romp levels.
I'd much rather play something which has an interesting premise and fails to execute it properly than a tedious, average level.

The fact that SMBX 1.4.4 & 1.4.5 is controller friendly with and without using Joy2Key.exe, while SMBX2* isn't!



*I'm not saying that 1.4.4/1.4.5 is superior over 2.0. They're both great updates to SMBX. I actually tried playing 1.4.4 with my new USB controller, and got surprised that it works

You keep bringing this up like there have been weekly releases to smbx2, in which we repeatedly failed to address controller support. I believe Rednaxela already stated months ago that improved controller support is on the horizon. You can find other things to choose to be annoyed by now.

Oh, thanks for the update. I'll wait patiently for it then.

I have played a fair amount of Mario fangames and Mario Maker and Editor levels, so in general I like or tolerate most of the stuff on levels.

That being said I don't like boss rush episodes. They don't have much substance and most of them just consist of palette swaps of Iggy, Larry and Mother Brain. I know putting custom NPCs is hard, but I would appreciate the effort.

Old SMBX episodes that aren't tested, and require a fix in the editor.

There are so many boss rush episodes bc it's like the quickest way to make an episode for everyone. I never played a boss rush and I ignore every boss rush in existence

Whatever happened to the time where SMBX members made a short episode that ISN'T a boss rush episode?

When a level spawns you in the wrong section and you die instantly, thus having to go to the editor to fix it :/

Levels that take you to another level but the warp doesn't work in old SMBX episodes.

SMB3 Bowser fights where you can only hit it with bombs.

Time-wasting boss fights in general.

With extended hitbox, additional enemies such as chasers, Rinkas, etc and lack of consistent power-up generator to prevent choking.

Almost everything about 38a. The editor is inconvenient to navigate, the physics are different, it's riddled with bugs, the coding language used for scripts, teascript, is vastly inferior to LUA, and there is a password for the redigitiscool cheat code which, by the way, probably has no solution. There are a few redeeming qualities, like the cool new powerups, enemies, and the flagpole. That's pretty much it, though.
