Return to Dinosaur Land
Posted: Thu Jan 02, 2014 9:09 am
Hooray, I did it! I finished my awaited, third SMBX episode. It's a tribute to SMW. It's all SMW styled. The episode takes place in Dinosaur Land from Super Mario World. The level design is by me, Wind and deadfish.

The Story
Bowser and the Koopalings have kidnapped princess Peach and trapped her in the Valley of Bowser. The Koopalings have stolen the Yoshi eggs yet again and they've rebuilt their castles around Dinosaur Land. It's up to the Mario Brothers to save the eggs and the princess. The road to the secret entrance of the Valley of Bowser is full of dangers, such as fortresses and their bosses, Reznor, Magikoopa and Big Boo, who you will have to fight.
Worlds and bosses:
W1 - Yoshi's Island (Larry Koopa)
W2 - Donut Plains (Morton Koopa Jr.)
W3 - Vanilla Dome Underground (Wendy O. Koopa)
W4 - Vanilla Dome Overworld + Twin Bridges + Cookie Mountain (Iggy Koopa)
W5 - Forest of Illusion (Roy Koopa)
W6 - Chocolate Island (Lemmy Koopa)
W7 - Ice Cream Island (Ludwig von Koopa)
W8 - Valley of Bowser (Bowser Koopa)
W9 - Special Zone (???)
Warp Zone (rooms with Yoshis that are unlockable with stars)
Overworld map
Slightly outdated.

Changelog
I can't possibly remember all the things I did after the release of beta 5, but here's something.
Important notes
Super Mario World sound pack
If you want to have an even stronger SMW feeling, I recommend to you my SMW sound pack! It has 99% of the sound effects and fanfares changed to SMW ones. This version has the volume lowered down to the volume of the original SMBX sound effects, and I even added a few sound effects replacing the Super Metroid sound effects.

I can't possibly remember all the things I did after the release of beta 5, but here's something.
- 18 new levels.
- Added BGOs to caves, water levels, castles and cloud areas.
- Updated map.
- New features: steep slopes, Monty Moles jumping out of the ground, go-through slopes, Sumo Bros. and many more!
- Fixed bugs.
Important notes
- I included save2.sav and save3.sav in the download. Save2 has the game completed until Ice Cream Island. Save3 is a complete save file. This is because all old save files are likely to be corrupted as the world map has changed drastically from beta 5.
- I'm not posting a patch this time, as there are many changes from beta 5 and the patch wouldn't be very much smaller than the full download afterall. However, if game breaking bugs are found from the final release, I will be posting bug fix patches.
- If you have a 32-bit computer, I recommend you remove the player graphics (luigi-1-7, luigi-1-7m, mario-1-7, mario-1-7m) from the episode folder to prevent crashes.
