What's the plot of this episode?
Also I think the pics look nice but the name is not very good.

In the beginning arc, Mario is tasked with finding a bunch of stolen burgers from a town. He also thinks that Bowser stole those burgers so he decides to stop by his castle. That is the basic starting plot of the game. There is another plot of the game which can be experienced after defeating the boss of the first arc, which is in World 5. And I am sorry you don't like the name. I can change it if you want but this is just what I chose as of now.

I meant the name is not much good because it can make me undderstand the plot is not good so much, because it's weird it's about some burgers.. So you dont need to change the name.

I agree. The concept is fine and refreshingly different.

There's just SO many semi-serious or mini episodes posted with names like "Mario Does Stuff" and "Luigi Eats a Mushroom" that it's easy to mistake "Quest for Cheeseburgers" to be something of a shrugged attempt. Clearly this is not and it's a work you've put a lot of effort and thought into.

Maybe:

"Mario and the Burger Bandits"
"Burger Nights"
"Super Mario's Cheeseburger Caper"
"Mario's Cheesy Charade"
"Mario and Bowser's Burger Burglary"

that suggest flair and effort went into it.

I intend to play it, but I would love to see this game get the fair notice it deserves!

Also 74 is a bit odd number of stars, maybe try and make it 75?

Well 'm currently playing it and I have to say that this episode is great and better than I thought.
I really thought the plot is horrible but you made it a bit jokey and funny so it made it to be not so bad. The levels were great as well.
Well done! Sorry I doubted you about the name and plot.

I'm glad you enjoy it but feel free to report any problems you run into with the episode. I have plans for updating it and this kind of criticism is appreciated. But be specific about what exactly you ran into so I know where the problem is and that it's easier to locate and fix.

*Sometimes there is an enemy spam (like at the cave of world 3)
*There is a level (a swamp level at world 3) that when I return to a pipe that I need to open some switches I fall inside the poison.
* Like they said, at the map you had to make all the levels that with stars with red zones instead of yellow so we can understand where can we find them.

Isn't there a star in like every level? (In either case, a star indicator level at the end of every world is useful to keep track of collected stars)

And as we pointed out, the levels with secret exits should be marked red

There is a star indicator of all five worlds plus the secret worlds once World 5 is beaten. And I have changed the levels with secret exits to red already. I will spend some time and make all these other edits and once I'm done I will put up a new download link.

thanks, take your time!

So is there a star in every level? Also before world 5? Because it's hard for me to find stars at this episode..

The name lead me to believe this was a joke episode, but it actually looks really fun! Playing right now!

is it ok to name my episode spaghetti quest?

Interesting SMBX episode story concept. But I got one complaint about it:

---

The paths and the sandy island map tiles ALMOST looks the same color-wise! And that kind of hurts my eyes a little

Name it whatever you like as long as you don't imitate other projects / games.

Isn't it on SMBX 1.3.0.1? How can you play it right now?

Hi: I've just started playing your episode but I have a question about it: I randomly found a star in the second level but non in the first one so please, could you tell me how can I know how many stars does each level has and if each level has a star how can I know where have I collected one? And if there isn't one star in each level, how do I know where I can find them? Thanks in advance.

Every level has one star in it, with nearly each one you get coming from fighting a miniboss in a secret area, with the exception of the main boss levels at the end of each world. Maybe in an update I can provide hints about where the stars are located.

This was now mentioned in the 12-gifts-for-christmas thread.

Is it still worth to wait for the update?

Sorry for the late response but that would depend on whether the update is satisfactory, of course. And I can't exactly guarantee that it will come out soon, because I'm working on another SMBX project right now. But I might try to update it after I finish my other project.

Well, despite some problems on my end, this may be one of the better episodes i've played. bravo!

Thank you, positive feedback helps a lot. I'm also planning to update this sometime in the future so you can list some problems you have and I'll fix them.

Very bold choice to make the third level of the episode a five-minute-long underwater gauntlet. I'm sure some people approve, but It's too much for me.
