Super Mario Bros. X Forums

This is my first official level that I put on the forum.
My level is just a simple boss fight, If you are lucky, you can get many hits on Mother Brain with just one onion.
It is now less repetitive now, as it has a much quicker pace. I could still use one more attack though. (If you have any ideas for new attacks, post them here.)

Graphics I used: Screenshots: OK. Here it is (With Update.):

UNOFFICIAL REVIEW of FINAL MOTHER BRAIN BOSS by SHOEHORN

Design (4.5/10)

Actually not bad for a Mother Brain fight. It's pretty hard to take one of these and make it into something fun. However, this battle is VERY repetitive. First, four Rinkas appear which you have to dodge for a few seconds. The Fire Flower is useful because you can use it to kill them. Then, sets of spikes appear and you have to jump between them. Now you should probably make the spaces between these spikes wider because it's way too hard to jump through them without getting hurt unless you're small Mario. Then two Snifits appear, which you use to hit Mother Brain with. These Snifits kind of break the boss, since Mario can jump high enough to hit Mother Brain repeatedly with them. Then two lava waves come and sweep across the stage. After that it all starts again. Like I said, the whole thing was very repetitive and you probably needed more attacks to diversify it a little.

Atmosphere (6/10)

I guess you're new to SMBX, but considering how short this level is (it's literally 3 screens) you made use of what you had. I especially liked those generators you made the Snifits come out of. Very creative.

Other Comments: dat star tho

Overall 5.25/10 (Average)
Not a bad boss at all, just needs to be less repetitive.

Questions and answers for myself.

Q: What should I replace the snifits with?
A: Probably Veggies that are set to Blocktop=0 or whatever its called.

Q: What new attacks Should I add?
A: You can suggest new attacks for the boss fight.

Also you can just crouch in mid-air to dodge the spikes a lot easier.
Thanks for the review!

Official Review of Final Mother Brain Boss

This is a pretty simple and uninteresting bossfight. It's very repetetive and still exploitable by holding an onion up to the Mother Brain just like the Snifits. Bombs are often a better option. The styles used here don't really look natural together, although they're not overly unappealing either. The pillars also should have bottoms. The bossfight isn't overly bad, the events are well coordinated, it's just not very interesting and too repetitive. Adding more phases (stages of the boss) and a variety of enemies would help. Also try adding some challenges that aren't unfair. There's not much else to say about this level since it's just a short, repetitive bossfight.

Overall: 3.5/10 (Average)
