Mario's Return to the Mushroom Kingdom [SMBX2] [Demo]

[ToadZ]

After a very long vacation, Mario has finally returned to the Mushroom Kingdom. However, as things on the outside seem normal, something sinister is brewing in the background...

Hello and welcome to this lovely episode I'm working on. This episode is a remake of one I made for myself a long time ago and I want to share it and the story with all of you. This is Mario's Return to the Mushroom Kingdom!

--------

Story

After the events of the Mario and Luigi games, Mario decided to go on a well earned and lengthy vacation. For an entire year he was away from the Mushroom Kingdom and now that his vacation time has ended he returned. But not everything seems as normal. What's up with the weird new factory in the kingdom? What's Bowser currently doing? And why do I feel like someone is constantly watching my every move? All of this and more coming soon...

i am currently playing World 2, and it is a great episode. the gameboy esque style in this episode and the 8 bit music is really good. it makes it very unique and special compared to other episodes made by other folks. Although, there is some few problems and stuff i found throughout the run.

when i started the episode, i started at the forest area and almost every path was open for some reason. i went all the way back to world 1 to start there, so mind if you put your save file in other stuff and make sure its not with a complete save file. Another thing, this epsiode beat my ass couple of times. Peach's castle level was hard so i skipped to the other level. W1 factory was hard but i managed to finish it on the third attempt.

Also, if you dont mind, please put more checkpoints on levels. if you die from some foolish and silly cause, you will revert back to the start point so you would trek all the way to the part where you died. This happened when i accidentaly fell on 2-1 when beating the birdo boss, causing it to make me play it all the way over again.

hope this project gets finished whenever. Thanks!

DAMNIT I forgot the save file. Yeah, when picking the episode you should've looked in the bottom left corner for the save file.
About the difficulty, it's intended to be a bit more on the harder side. I'm assuming, that the player has finished Princess Cliche and Invasion 2, and knows what the spin jump button is.

Thanks for the feedback tho!
