Super Mario Bros. X Forums

Airship Attack feels like a longer version of The Invasion 2 IMO. And it is a good episode although some of the levels are forgettable to the point that you would think "that level was not there before" if you were to play it again due to the length (Quality > Quantity). I guess it has aged well because you can still enjoy it but that may depend on if/how the community's ideals of quality and quantity have changed over the past 4 years. Also long episode + no shorcuts makes is not a combination that results in it being good speedrunning (if we included an E-World% catgory, then it would be a more accessible as it would be much shorter than any% or 100%).

I will nominate Super Mario Star Expedition

Super Mario Star Expedition has aged quite well. However, the excessive length of some levels and the arbitrary location of some stars does detract from the excellent level design. I'm also not a fan of every star from the normal worlds being required to access the special world.

Super Mario Star Expedition is a very good episode from what I have played so far *up to World 6-5*, but the only flaws are that the levels are insanely long, and that some stars are very annoying to find. Try finding a star in 5-1. It's not fun.

I nominate Tower of Biased 2

Here's one about world 1, there were vines that were used as background and it was annoying how they used the graphic as a background and you could still climb then in that state.

I thought the developer intended for you to be able to climb them?

IMO Star Expedition seems overrated from playing world 1 (perhaps I should play more of it but so far, not as good as everyone says it is)

I never played past the ice castle. Or if I did, I don't remember any level from the worlds past it. That level is my favourite one in the game. The music and design resonate with me. The rest of the game up to that point felt very same-y. Lots of what feels like palette swaps of levels.

I remember ToB2 because it has Amatuer Lands.

The main problem I have with episodes like Tower of Biased and MAGLX is that they force you to play through some junk levels to get to the good stuff. Some of these episodes attempt to get around it by making the worst of the worst levels optional, but you still run into stuff like the "npc/block spam with stars" that Eclipsed mentioned.

Since Super RMN World doesn't have that problem, I'm nominating that episode. And since that episode isn't on the forums, I'm including a link to its RMN page.

Funny you should mention Tower of Biased 2, I have a level in that episode (The Chapel of Dissonance) and it was my first time participating in a community contest of any sort.
