Thank you all for being honest with me, I respect your opinions! But I'll leave it in the way it is. That's how I like it.

OK, but what the ass is this path?

That is the longest path I have ever seen.

Oh, it's the World 5's secret star.

But the length is just unnecessary.

Ok, I'll fix this.
Note that everythig you see in the screnshots may be different eventually.

Nice update ! Good luck finish the demo !

World map looks perfect and the idea is pretty cool.

Personally I would replace the SMB1 Koopas with SMB3 Koopas but I think it's just a matter of personal preferences

Yeah, but I think it would scrap the main objective of the episode. So I recommend to retexture Npcs into nsmb ones.

Which he won't do because he likes it the way it is. I don't think it's worth further criticizing the graphics anymore, we know he won't change them.

Actually, the thing that was really stopping me from replacing the smb1 graphics is the lack of sprites of nsmb npcs. But I found the most of them and i've got an idea. I will make 2 versions - one with half 2d and half 3d graphics(like the one in the screenshots) and one only with nsmb graphics, so you can choose the one you prefer.

I made a new logo for my project with better quality! And also a new supporter! Everyone currently supporting my project could replace the old one with this one in his signature.

I have to be honest here, I've seen a lot of projects and episodes over the years where they've used NSMB series graphics but also used classic 8-bit mediums and they have looked pretty horrible. This however, actually looks decent. Throughout the entirety of the levels you've shown, each conforms to 1 rule (8/16-bit NPCs and NSMB series Blocks/BGs/BGOs etc) for the most part and it looks appealing. The level design looks a lot like what you'd find in the NSMB series, it's expansive and really calls out to exploration. Keeping the 8/16-Bit NPCs is something I am glad you did, most of the ported/ripped NSMB series NPCs look god-awful as sprites. They are models (not NSMBDS) and just don't have the same fluidity as what you would see in the NSMB games. In SMBX the model ports look uncomfortable and jerky. In my opinion those are part of what ruined some of these older projects.

The only thing I don't really like is the Muncher, it looks out of place against the HD objects and the 8-Bit sprites. It's mainly the Muncher's head, it's flat and has no shading or depth about it, while the leaves however do. If you're interested in the actual NSMB series Muncher I think I can get it for you or I might even be able to do a bit of editing to the existing one if you want.

In any case, I'm really looking forward to see what comes of this project, good luck and keep up the great design!

If you look at braineats episode there is a decent amount of NPC's that are styled in 1x1 nsmb.

Thank you! Actually, the munchers I ripped were from Super Mario Maker. But still, I will work on their shading.

Yes, but the animation doesn't look good in the way he did it. I will try to make the npcs with all of the frames to look smoother.

Ah, ok, fair enough, good luck with this project!

Personally I like it. I think the use of the nsmb graphics look very interesting. Hope you finish this project!

Thank you!

The backgrounds and blocks GFXs are great! But can you change the NPCs and players graphics in 3D pixels? Because the retro pixels with the 3D pixels look weird
