A bit of a more technical blog post coming on Saturday. Not gonna reveal too much about it right now, but here's a hint:

It'll be another post that'll show a lot of images.

While this is my stupid opinion, but I would've preferred the original ones compared to the MM ones, however, this is super amazing! I'm excited to try using these in a level at some point.

It kind of seems to me that there are still some things in SMBX that are not yet unmystified (the "need more tech" NPCs, for example). Will SMBX ever be considered open-source, or are there things that are not going to be done until PGE?

I sure hope future versions of SMBX will be open source so other people can be a part of the development process, along with the ones who've been a part for a while. We can probably get updates more often that way too.

The regular ones from Super Mario World are already in the game! They can be operated using moving layers.

Speaking of,

Do these new ones do their thing on their own, without any influence from events?

From what I can see, yes. Also, the block smashing and NPC skewering is all done via NPC so if I understand the images well enough.

I think this image suggests that the answer is yes

And if you do want the regular SMW version to replace these, then custom GFX

Ooh, will that SMB2 Bridge finally be moved to the correct section?

Semisolid slopes?

Edit: Also, these skewers look cool, although it would be nice if you could disable the shake (The SMM ones didn't shake the ground)

I mean if you make something and send it to us and it's good code that can be used properly in the basegame, we're gonna put it in and credit you for it and give you the 2.0 dev role over on the codehaus discord. The reason why we don't just give unrestricted access to the repository is in order to maintain some kind of quality control in what we're doing, and the fact that a core team of ~10 is a million times easier to manage than a core team of ~100.

The brutal mega spikes, really looking forward to using them.

That's a semi-solid platform. Semi-solid slopes, maybe?

Can the mega spikes go horizontally as well as vertically, or only vertical?

You mean that they freeze you solid and you have to break out of the ice? Man that mechanic was awesome...

True, don't know how easy it would be to implement though. Although they have done a lot for 2.0 already.
