Super Mario and The Lost Egg 2: Bowser's Expansion (DEMO)

[Cognition2195]

Hey all, it has been awhile since I posted here. Unfortunately my old email associated with my old account was hacked and I do not for the life of me remember my password. I also was unable to contact a board admin as it said it was disabled. So I just went ahead and created a new account. Maybe the mods can merge them, unsure.

Either way I'm here to share a project I stopped working on back when Super Mario Wonder first came out. Life kind of took hold, as it does, and I had to get a second job to support my family so I just didn't have the time to keep working on this project. I also lost my grandfather of 91 during that time and again just became very busy in my personal life. These SMBX2 projects were very extensive and were put on the back burner. I had also began to lose a bit of interest do to the complications of making a project. I am not in the headspace for coding and even reached out to MrDoubleA about using some of his code from his ATWE. It is a lot to learn. I was unsure about creating cutscenes and endings, so again, it all became very complicated. Since I am such a huge fan of maker games I really got into Mega Man Maker and made some level packs on that with my free time. It was a lot easier to throw something cool together with the available assets of the program. But, I digress.

As many of you know I made an episode over 2 years ago called "Super Mario and The Lost Eggs" that was a love letter to Super Mario World. See link here: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=27941

Not long after I wanted to create a new episode and tried with a SMB2 style game but lost interest. Eventually I settled on making a sequel to the first adventure I made. It takes inspiration from Super Mario and the Rainbow Stars and of course classic Super Mario World. I wanted to add some Mario Wonder "inspiration" down the road too and sample enemies and the wackiness of that game. The game is "Super Mario and The Lost Egg 2: Bowser's Expansion". The name was a work in progress and the story is just as simple as Bowser has taken over Yoshi's Island. I planned to have it start on the opposite side of the map from the first game with some seasonal and geographical changes and end with Bowser having built a city where you started at in the first game.

The worlds include:
1. Tropical Beachfront
2. Crispy Sands
3. Autumn Woods
4. Frosted Mountains
5. Cotton Candy Clouds
6. Pipe Cave
7. Haunted Valley
8. Koopa City
Bonus: Mushroom Kingdom Challenges.

Spoiler: show

I have no intention to finish this project. The levels are individual and are not grouped together with a world map. I also only made levels up to world 4. All Luna and Graphics are credited in notepad files in the folder and all the music is listed with their respective artist in the Music folder. I just didn't want this project to go to waste, so I thought I would share them as a Demo. Please feel free to use any assets for an levels you plan to create. The levels were also made in Beta 4 so some stuff may be depreciated at this point. I did test everything before uploading.
