Any way to toggle playable characters?

Is there a way that you can make a player that has been disabled playable after reaching a certain level? I want to make a SMBX episode where you have to unlock Peach, Toad, and Link and then you can switch to them whenever but I'm not sure if I can do it that way or if I have to use a different approach.

Well, you can start including player blocks after the player rescues that certain character, like, when you rescue peach, you place Peach Blocks in every level after her rescue.
However, if you are making a Hub world map and the star system, you can place the Player block locked behind a Star door.

Yes, I know that, but what I mean is if peach is disabled, and then you rescue her, is there a way to re enable her after that level so you can immediately reenter the game as her?

No, you'll have to resort to the player blocks, unless you can use LunaLUA (if you know how to use it, and if it's possible).

This is possibly outside the domain of LunaLua.

Nah it's not. The character list on the world map is built with LunaLua and really easy to change around at will.

And episode select, be it main menu or launcher?

Ah, the episode select is a different matter. I THINK that maybe be doable in beta 4, but I'm not certain.
