Venture to unexplored islands and platform your way through various environments in Grand Block Journey! Use familiar power-ups to beat foes, discover secrets, emerge victorious in combat arenas and defeat Bowser at the end of the final world.
The episode is highly traditional and contains five main worlds and two secret worlds. The level of difficulty is moderately high and keeps ramping up, but levels offer many power-ups and can be beaten relatively quickly.
The episode was built on SMBX 1.3.0.1, but playing it on SMBX 2.0 is recommended for a smoother experience.

I consider the episode feature-complete, so I'm not planning to add extra content to it. I want to make Grand Block Journey 2 that has different world themes and utilizes some of the new power-ups, but that won't likely happen in the near future since this episode took quite a bit of effort to assemble, and I have lots of other projects to work on.
