Super Mario Bros. X Forums

Hi! It's been a while, but I saw the new Levels forum update and didn't want my old levels to just stay in the archives, so I decided to post all of my created levels here!

OMG ... I see only fabulous things !!
I like all the screens' style.
Backgrounds are well placed, npcs too. I can see a good job with the sizables.
A lot of styles used are good to see in my opinion. There's all: SMB1 retro to SMW ...
Also, I like the ice level themed.
More, I love the inventiveness of the names.
Just an advice: replace SMW plants with a SMB3 recolored ones in " The Piranha Plants of Poison Pond ".
A really well done job.

Specifically, would you like any levels reviewed?

Thank you very much Kingbowser112!

And youngtomlin, all of the levels have been reviewed back when the old system was in use so not really, but if someone feels like reviewing any of them, go ahead!

[quote="Man1234FK"]Thank you very much Kingbowser112!

Ehm, maybe this will be not relevant but, why don't you make a episode makin' new levels and using these levels ?
In my opinion will come out a bomb-cool episode.

Maybe some day, maybe some day

I played Green Grove Waterfalls and I was impressed with your work. You showed very good attention to detail, and I like how you managed to make the switch blocks not as annoying as hell by minimizing the backtracking. One of the things I liked the most about this level was that the level changed as you played it in a very easy to understand way. To be honest this would serve as a good example of what a level should look like as final product, because I tried to find bugs and stuff but again you took care of them it seems with your attention to detail. You also maintained a good flow with the level too, because I didn't notice any sections with more than a handful of enemies or projectiles. The platforming also helped with this as there were no unfair jumps and what not. This was a great level, keep up the good work!

I played Green Grooves Waterfalls too, it's great! Everything is well placed and the level is fun to play because it has a good flow. There is only a very small "glitch" at the end of the main room, where the note blocks are over the jumping plants; if you jump in a way, you can reach the top of the ground tile at the top-right corner and walk offscreen.

The only part that gave me problems level design wise is the last dragon coin, because those jumping plants will land on the moving platform and it feels cheap... but it's a very minor issue that should be easy to correct (I think).

The difficulty level is balanced, and it's hard but not too much, something that you may expect from a world 6 or 7 of an official Mario game; the difficulty raises a bit if you try to collect all the dragon coins but it's still very doable (maybe, it may bring some rage to the player to start everything from the beginning each time you do a paratroopa jump wrong but that's not your fault, usually in Mario games, if you don't kill a paratroopa, he will fly again when you refresh it by going offscreen or changing room, but in this engine it won't fly anymore).
What I liked very much is the level's lenght, that's just correct, not too long, not too short.

One of the best levels I played in SMBX so far (if not "the").

AeroMatter and Iko, thank you very much!
