Bowser's Crazy Chase!

Hello everyone this is my first post ever on a smbx board!

This is my old ongoing project that I started back in 2011, and since I started this as a 15 year old some levels feel different or shorter than others. I was really reluctant to ever share these levels with anyone since my level design skills are not nearly as good as all the wonderful talent here :)

Story:
Spoiler: show
Bowser has gone absolutely insane and instead of just doing something different he after your blood, he's made many obstacles to overcome and has peach too. But not just for his tea party but this time for ransom, he wants mario to gather all 8 normal power stars or he will trade peach for cosmic super power. Can mario save peach and end misery in the mushroom kingdom?
Alright some pointers about my project:

* This is a more traditional smbx project so it's much more linear then some of the other episodes and projects here.
* You may find alot of the levels pretty difficult or some of the levels pretty intense, this was infact intended to a certain degree.
* if you find any issue with any of my levels please let me know I want to make them as playable as possible.
* most of my levels are not too lovely in the scenery department so just a heads up.
* there are events in this project so if you dislike them then I'm warning you now.
* It would also help greatly if you end up playing my project to tell me what you liked or disliked about my levels.

All of these levels are made in ver 1.3 make sure you play them there or else unknown issues may happen!

Progress: 20% overall...maybe
(spade levels are one screen but I minds well put them in)
Polish is needed for all of these levels this will be done when most of them are done!

World 1 Mush Root Island (Levels 13/13 complete) (Mushroom houses 4/4 complete) 100% Done
World 2 Dessert Dunes (Levels 13/13 complete) (Mushroom houses 4/4 complete) 100% Done
World 3 Island's of Mushruto (Levels 14/14 complete) (Mushroom houses 4/4 complete) 100% Done
World 4 Giant Mushroot lands (Levels 12/16 complete) (Mushroom houses 3/4 complete) 85% Done
World 5 Mushroot Skys Domain (levels 0/17 complete) (Mushroom houses 0/4 complete) 5% Done (only map done)
World 6 tba (levels 0/18-20? complete) (mushroom houses 0/4 complete) 0% not started yet
World 7 tba (levels 0/18-20? complete) (mushroom houses 0/4 complete) 0% not started yet
World 8 tba (levels 0/18-22? complete) (mushroom houses 0/4 complete) 0% not started yet (This ends the main story however I plan to add a good bit of end game content for difficulty lovers)

World 10 tba (levels 0/18-21? complete) (mushroom houses 0/4 complete) 0% not started yet

You don't have to say sorry for making the download about 50 megabytes. :)

What makes up the 4000 files? It doesn't look like you use many custom graphics if any (except for the one background)

Sednaiur's Big custom smb3 pack is what world 4 is about, his graphics make a major role there otherwise small enemy and block + background graphics here and there.

Ill be posting screenshots of world 4 soon just have to find cool parts of that world to snap.

50 MB is still quite a low size.

and since you're planning 150+ levels, how long are each of them?

I would say the early levels are smb3 length but by the 2nd world they start to get twice the size if not 3 times the size. I can get through the first 2 worlds in 30 mins and the third in 15-20 mins while the fourth is still unfinished so I need to do more testing.

I can list every level in a spoiler and mention the length it takes me to finish each one if that helps more.

Doesn't need to be this detailed, now I can already roughly imagine what the magnitude is like.

Good luck!
