what about adding more than slopes though?

Sanct wrote:what about adding more than slopes though?

I did add the cheep-cheeps and coral spikes though (I'm thinking on adding some challenges based on dodging bloopers and cheep-cheeps while avoiding spikes later on in the level). Dunno if that's enough to make it stand out, but I wasn't really sure what else to add, since 2-2 is a pretty basic stage.

alright, not to sound arrogant but adding a few enemies is really just as good as adding nothing, I'll give you an example from my level:

This setup in the original level:


I turned into this:

If you're just adding enemies which are pretty inconsequential, then try to re-think some parts of the level or something. This is a change in the structure of the level itself, while also keeping the original part there, it feels different while also including a part that's the same.

Indeed Snessy. I've gotta agree with Sanct on this one. This episode (to my knowledge) is supposed to be a reimagination of SMB1. So bascially, keeping the core elements and expanding upon them while still resembling the original. My change isn't as drastic and astonishing as Sanct's (I consider that expansion quite neat) but I'd say that my level is quite different from the original while it still has some resemblances to it.

Oh well, looks like I should probably restart my level. I was playing it somewhat safe, since I thought the level had to be relatively close to the original (As in no major deviations from the original level design) which I think was what the original SMB1X was going for.

I don't see a minus world

Well, -1 is identical to 7-2, so... Call Radiance.

So my level which you saw on the last page is well... hard to expand upon, its 1-1! What do I add? Idk many gimmicks that would fit in that level so I’m asking for ideas... got any?

Is there any open spots? please PM

As is apparent by looking at the claims list, no atm

You could try using moving sizables, like in NSMBU's 1-1.
Or, Idk, a power-up gimmick?

Hello hello guys. I like all the screens, could you give us some more?

If you're on the SMBX Discord, a lot of screenshots are posted there

Wait will the bad levels be scrapped or something?

My first attempt was bad, so I am starting a new one. I don't think they will be scrapped. You'll maybe have the chance to submit again.

No, but should levels miss the mark in terms of quality, Aristo works with you to (hopefully) make the level good enough to be featured in the episode.

Aristo kinda just tells you to rework it and try harder if it doesn’t quality

Well for me at least

Me too. Working on my 2nd attempt; Level was too easy and graphics had cuttoffs.
Kinda reminds me of something: viewtopic.php?f=89&t=20486

All of these reimagined levels are amazing. I especially like ShadowStarX's dreamlike take, and Sanct's work takes me back to the old days. Well done, everyone.

Then why don't you make a minus world with non-identical levels? Would mind it 'cos it can be more awesome with that -1 Worldie
