I did too. Could tell pretty easily that it was fake, but I'm glad this is real. Also, how did you make that boss WITHOUT Luna?

I would suggest that the boss itself is the Mother Brain NPC plus a BGO for the body, that the projectiles are spawned via generators through layers and events, and the blue rings could be Wart's bubbles and the other projectiles are either SMB2 Bob-ombs or Mouser's bombs

Nice to see that Pwnhammer levels are back, and getting even better! One suggestion: You could put the SSB4 3DS version of Brinstar as BGM for the last Pwnhammer level, that track is awesome. (Only for the last one though, for not firing out the best too early.) If you have no idea where to find it, I could try digging out the video where I found the download link.

Maybe they should make it auto-scrolling to match the intense pace this level had?

Just more enemies and more Hammer Bro. plants would probably do the job. I hate autoscroll, especially after I played Super Mario Maker.

Seriously, the Mother Brain boss is awesome. I like how it stands up.

It might be just me, but I don't like the way the ground tiles together :/

It's hard to judge the level itself based on the screenshot though.

I do like this image so far but the background is a bit weirdly colored like... the waterfall with rocks and the red bright sky is just weird to me. I'd rather have the red a bit darker so it's not too offcolored like that for a dark based sky like this.

It's sunset/nightfall

I think your color choices don't really reflect that sunset/rise feel you're looking for. Try making the gradient go from blue to a bit orange-ish color, with some red in the middle.

I think that the waterfall is a bit too dark, and the sky is a bit too red. If you're going for a sunset I suggest orange... also, why is the water purple (or at least a darker blue)?

Ironically Redigit named it The Suck because he thought it sucked (at least in the original Invasion)

By the way holy shit that Mother Brain fight in incredible Valtteri, never thought I'd see that represented so accurately in SMBX. Crazy stuff.

While this fight is impressive and a lot of effort was put into it, the exclamation points are superfluous and kill the immersion.

My simple recreation of the level "Shell Heaven".

Spoiler: show

The bonus room works like in the original, just like the berries (no score for eating them, etc). Just a little, simple SMW-level. ^_^
What will happen when you get all the pink berries in a section?

I like to sign this. When I first played that level, it took my notebook-PC more than 40 seconds to load it. I thought the level was broken simply because of this and forced SMBX to close. xD
I would prefer to remove the exclamation marks and the junked sections (and unused events, for performance purposes), but on all the other aspects, this is really the best recreation of Mother Brain I have seen in SMBX.
Really the best effort this boss has gotten. ^^
