Super Mario Bros. X Forums

The only part I don't really like about the screens is that the dirt hills (Those in the 3 last screens) are way too similar to the ground tiles, meaning some people could get confused if they are solid or not. Otherwise, this is really awesome, might pick up the demo at one point!

I have to report a bug. After dying in Shygon after getting the Mushrooms, I lost the ability to jump. (I did save in Shygon)


Also, I would recommend using a health system instead of the classic Mario system if you need to make the power-ups mandatory. Example is making the drop item switch between power-up states if you have the item making a counter when you get hit, you lose one life, and if it hits zero, game over. (Lifes being Energy replacement which you alter the maximum through lua. (You can make Enemies drop coins and lives that way.) Just a suggesting?

From here out, I had to play without the ability to jump normally. I will give a cookie to who can guess how I bet the demo without it.
Now for some more bugs:

Does darkening them improve at all?

Um I watched the video and checked the code from the old demo, but I'm honestly not sure how that's happening. But, the code has changed a lot since then and I have never had this happen, so maybe it will work right in the new demo coming in a few days.

It's not a bad idea, and I may implement it, but at this point I'm not sure if it's necessary since classic power-ups are normally only needed to reach a new area and you can get items at your ship at any time.

As for the 1up in the room with the water, that was intended to be possible, but more difficult, without the Gravity Cap, like many sequence breaks in Metroid.
And the thing you did with the key just seems like a normal SMBX glitch so I don't really know what to do about that either.

If you make the key not solid from the sides, you can prevent the player from skipping through the wall like that. (You can keep "Playerblocktop=1")

No, darkening them doesn't seem to help a lot, maybe darken them some more or change them completely. Also, those two red goombas are a little too close to eachother in that screen, so you should probably either remove one of them or space them out a little.

It's probably the fill that's bothering me, try changing it to something else.

Official Trailer has been released!


I will update soon with more screenshots and an updated demo!

You n Mario-troid.... what are the names of all the places in the game?
