Super Mario Bros. X Forums

After a weird almost-a-year-long break, I'm ready to just call this done. For die-hard nostalgic SMBX fans, this one's for you.

I took The Invasion (the original) and went through all of the levels to do a variety of changes and tweaks, some larger than others. Changes include, but aren't limited to:

• Every non-bonus level now has a checkpoint
• Altered powerup distribution in some places (including adding Ice Flowers and Yoshis)
• More game-style consistency within sections (between sections, however, not always)
• New/revamped bosses; every boss encounter is now unique, whether it be a vanilla boss, a slightly custom boss, or a gang of beefy enemies
• Worlds 4 and 8 have been rethemed into a snow world and lava/dark world respectively
• Many "daytime" levels are now in the evening or night for variety's sake
• Swapped out enemies in some levels
• Adding slopes, fixing cutoffs and softlocks, altering several particularly awkward or annoying elements/sections, and more (although let's be honest, it's The Invasion 1, it's gonna get pretty annoying in the late game)
• While Lua has been mostly kept to a minimum, it's been used to disable spinjumping, add warp transitions reminiscent of SMB3, and handle autoscrolling, among other things
• ???

And the world map has been completely redone, including giving each world a name.
World map and names: Some level screenshots (though some won't look too different from the originals): I decided to forgo my original plans of trying to alter certain elements (ex: the HUD) to make it look like you're playing an SMB3 ROM hack, although some of those elements are still present. In any case, I did this because SMBX was a huge part of my childhood and I guess I wanted to pay tribute to it somehow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And that's it for now. It's a bit of a mess, and it's debatable whether or not it's now a "more polished mess" as I said in the projects thread, but I just wanted to be done with it. Thanks, and have fun. Also, trans rights.

Looks really good, im checking it
