The SMB2 stuff clashes with the ghost house graphics, please fix it.

I will update shortly adding a bunch of changes to some problems that I've noticed while i was playing through several times. Expect fixes. Thanks.

I've put out an update with a few fixes.

The download links are broken. Please fix them.

They should be fixed now. I've tested them out.

Moved to the Levels forum, considering you want feedback on your level.

Making a "horror" themed level is almost impossible without using custom gfx. Because the mario graphics aren't scary whatsoever, in fact, some of them look quite cute. Before i get the "you dont need custom gfx" post let me explain further, the closest to scary a mario game goes is a ghost house right?
Well Boos are cute as fuck and so are eeries, so if you have made up a horror story j would strongly reccomend using custom graphics

Then as mentioned above your level clashes, Let's explain this.
If you look at the block tab it says Smb1, Smb2, Smb3, Smw and other (Which is mostly metroid stuff) combining some of these is fine (like smb1 and smb3 usually dont clash) but others are a big Giant no (combining smw and smb2 for example)
I would reccomend you to use one style of graphics and only mix styles if they fit and not because "there is no smb3 grinder " (example) because there is! Just import a smb3 recolored grinder into the folder (there is one on Legend-tony980's smb3 recolored pack for example)

But if you really dont wanna use custom gfx
I would reccomend to go with a more "average" mario level, because a boo just isn't scary enough for a horror feel.

Ok thanks for the advice. Will look into updates and custom gfx

When it will be finis- oh wait, he's gone.

The Asylum - Official Review

This level is so bad, like very fricking bad. There's lots of messed up placements, very bad level design, terrible atmosphere and terrible gameplay and no background whatsoever. It's like we're playing a unfinished level that it's scary, but it's not, the placements like these don't make the ghost house haunted for some reason, hell, even the black background doesn't make this level scary either. The level is somehow possible to beat, but it's still horrible. There's extra life rewards from the beginning of the level for no reason, the message text events doesn't work correctly and there's cutoffs. I don't know what to say about the music, if it's fitting or not. I'm not gonna say anything more about this level, it's just, again, horrible as hell, not even enjoyable and it has no pros whatsover.
