Levels that are mostly compatible to Play with 1 Player but not even Close to beat with 2 Players.

Utulizing a Gimmick or anything with no warnings, Explanation or anything. This will most likely a cheap shot into your first time Play.

This just has given me a gimmick for a level, though it'll be suited for a Casual, as it'll involve cheat codes <supermario2>

have one of the players be on the bottom and one on top and switch between the players and also using player block changes as well...
have some switches and puzzles, maybe make it play like Tealy and Orangey if you've heard of that flash game...

You mean kinda like Cheat Code Challenge 2 from Mario Classic? Sounds interesting; I hope you can do that idea justice with some legitimately clever puzzles (unlike CCC2).

The thing that there are so many NPCs, but if you tried to use them, the levels would be kinda weird.
And that you can't disable the Grinder's sound effect without editing the game's files...
You can't make most things go diagonally.

I'll admit the ginder noise can Sometimes be irrtating but at the same time make he player realize danger is lurking about nearby,

btw u can make a grinder move diagonally in 2 different ways ones easy and one is not so easy,

First Method:
1) Now, Personally i like to use the SMB3 Platform widgits but its a preference really, place thw two widgets in Points A&B
2) Make a straight out on both ends about a couple of times and then use the diagonal pieces,
3) u can even skip 1 unit and it'l be a perfect diagonal line loop (only when its in a / \ shape like that)

Second Method:
1) make the grinder not move, NPCS>SMW Grinder>"dont move">yes
2) go to layers, add layer, name it grinder (#) (makes it easier if u want mulple diagonal grinders)
3) make the grinder said layer and go to events
4) select "layer movement" and find the Grinder layer,
5) make the movenment be horz: +/- x1 Vertical +/- x2 (making them the same number, make it go up x[sub]1[/sub] over x[sub]2[/sub]
i.e Horizontal: 0.5 Vertical: -0.5

I would test the level to make it go in the right direction u want

Whoa, hey! I didn't say anything about Grinders moving diagonally, just diagonal generators, etc.

I don't hate on stuff that much, but when they mention the hammer bros., i can just remember that AWFULLY fast hammer throwing rate that makes you a total momentum pro if you land on them without a hammer hitting you.
Also, pretty much Mouser's bombs, i simply can't stand a moment without accidentally shooting a fireball in front of one when i try to grab em' xD

Moving layers that are hard to jump on because of momentum and such... since you can easily fall off again.

That's an advantage! Throw him fireballs after Mouser throws his bombs so it will explode on him.

It's pretty hard for me to land a fireball exactly next to his face right after he throws a bomb, sometimes it's helpful, but you have to be very accurate and you need to know exactly when he's going to throw a bomb at you.
in my opinion it's better to get another powerup before a mouser fight, unless you're good at grabbing the bombs and not shooting fireballs at the bombs next to you xD

Mouser is actually not a hard boss since you have multiple ways of defeating him:

The thing that truly sets my alarms off is when I hit a question block and it turns into a grass block from SMB1. Clearly some people don't know how to use GFX packs correctly.

This is some interesting event going on.


If a level is very easy to crash like having a lot of blocks and then use a P Switch... then it overflowes the block limit due to coins to blocks and the other way around.

You could use Link. When he stabs Mouser's bombs, it will be kept. And you can keep 9 Mouser's bombs! Then throw it to him by using the Alt Run button.

It's better to just stab on his head all times anyway since you can follow the boss while stabbing and jumping off of him if you hold the jump button aswell... but it is also a little bit more risky because you have to follow his pattern but even so it's not that hard to do. ;P


If you play a super long level with lack of checkpoints and where you have to do it again... especially if the levels are more difficult to get over with.
