That looks awesome! What does that red coin do?

Here's an idea I just came up with:
Intermission levels between the Hubs. They can use the playable Boom Boom, and it could be Boom Boom going back to Bowser / whoever else, and Bowser etc. will give Boom Boom new powers that will be used by him in the next world / hub.
Or if that doesn't work, make it a cutscene of the NPC Boom Boom doing that stuff.
It could start from the arena of the last level of each hub, he makes his way to a secret base, gets his new powers, and the scene blacks out.

I have always wanted to see something like this, so I hope you can implement it (or something similar)! Can't wait to play the full game.

I don't want to do cutscenes after each hub since they are only four levels long

Yeah, good point. Still, would be nice to get a bit of info from the enemies' point of view.
And may I just say, this project is really cool, and I'm sure it will turn out to be really fun to play! Where did you get the ideas / inspiration from?

I'm not really interested in creating an extended story throughout which is why I'm not too interested in any "here's all these POVs" besides a few cutscenes for pregame and postgame. The inspiration: There's just so many poor-quality boss rushes that make use of solely reskins of vanilla bosses with basically no creativity and just repetitive AI. My goal was to take a single boss NPCs and make a series of boss fights that are each creative, unique, gimmicky, and fun to play with only Boom Boom

It's finally here!

What's the problem? You're not being very specific

Every time i enter the final level, it doesent work! i extracted the files!!! Even this happened In 2.0!!!

Is there an error? What exactly happens?

By the way, has progress been made recently? Will we see the full release in a matter of a few weeks, or is this still a long way off?

SMBX2 is required to play this episode

What that Something the Release That On Late May Mmmm That Delayed or noting delay release

The next demo is just around the corner!

I've been working on significantly remastering a lot of the battles to make them a lot better in terms of gameplay and design in general. Also working on a few more which will be included in the next demo.

Here's some .gifs of the remastering atm which I've also shared on Discord: Also I've noticed that the images in the OP have expired? Will fix them ASAP.

Now that my exams are done I can make a lot more progress on this and will hopefully have some more screenshots of new battles in a few days and then hopefully the next demo in a week, or two at most
