Changes:
-Replaced Cryo Blaster's Diamond Saw attack with using Cirno's Icicles to make the projectiles shine rather than just used for a desperate attack
-Made Cryo Blaster's shuriken gear go through Cryo Blaster so that it won't interfere the flow of the boss fight
-Changed NPC spawn positions properly on Giant Ptooie
-Adjusted Giant Beetle's waiting state and hop state because he is able to jump while on the air
-Renamed Giant Beetle to Giant Buzzy Beetle and MKF Bowser to MKF-Like Bowser (proper namesake)
General Credits:
Most of the sprites were from Spriters Resource and their respective games. Most of the scripting were done by me. I thank of those from the discord server, though I couldn't remember but can recall on Enjil and Marioman2007. Some bosses may act based on various games. Some bosses may also act different than before as they're revamped. Some bosses have graphics and scripts originated from their respective users. Some fan-game bosses, both their behaviors and their sprites, are from their respective users from SMWC and others. Some bosses have assets from other several packs like from MegaDood, Mariolover64, MurphMario, KateBulka, and others.
Other Notes:
Some bosses might have a in-editor configurations, and some bosses might have no tilesets. To find the bosses, go to the browser of available item with a search in the editor and look for custom elements.

I'm awfully late to the Party, but those Bosses are awesome. My Favorites have to be Cerberus and Pyro Blaster, so it's also nice to see the SMWC Koopa Boss in SMBX. Are you planning on doing more SMWC Bosses in SMBX2 if I may ask?

Awesome. Are you also planning on maybe tackling Brutal Mario Bosses? I want to have the Twin Pumpkin Boss from the Gravity Fortress in my Episode, but I'm not too experienced in coding and kinda stuck with it at the moment.

Well, most of them have some complex coding. So, some will except the Twin Pumpkin boss sadly.

I see, maybe I gotta opt for another solution then. Fortunatly the Level isen't themed around them, so it's not a tragedy.

Shouldn't the Giant Koopa be named "Michael Jackson Koopa"? Because he sure loves doing the moonwalk...
It seems he likes to walk facing backwards and occasionally disappears.

As someone who loves bosses but isn't very good at creating them, this pack is a blessing, great job!

Here's a tough to replicate boss: Ridley (Super Metroid). Wonder if you could make him?

Probably not, it might be hard to replicate his tail physics and also hard to replicate his tail pogo attack.

Nice, more Bosses. Sadly I entcountered Errors on two of them. (haven't tested Dread Bones as I already fought him in Boss Collection.)

Got this when wanting to try out Roy.

Same with the Ground Pound Koopa Boss
The Bowser Boss works and really awesome though.

Thank you, also I was trying to implement the work that whenever they get crushed by walls, they'd die. Looked something like this:
`if v:mem(0x134, FIELD_WORD) => 5 then
v:kill()
end`
MegaDood is the one who I have him test some of my bosses and give me some feedbacks that I should make them properly work or be balanced.
Added in 52 minutes 47 seconds:
Fixed as in Version 1.1.1, also added Ground Pound Koopa Boss' aggrolimit in case someone even decide to modify it for themselves.

I'm afraid I found another issue, I'd like to bring to your attention. Something invisble keeps killing me when fighting Roy, hope this GIF helps.
And about Groundpound Koopa
I really like this Pack as we've been starving for Bosses ever since with a few exceptions. While I'm able to make my own Bosses, theres still lots of things I cannot do for which this Pack is perfect.
