Is it possible to get these in SMBX?
Grass tower:
Can someone please tell me how to do this if it is possible?

it's kinda complicate, it requires some skills with events and layers, what you basically do i place invisible axes under the slopes to make the blocks disappear and reappear thwn the player goes through them, you can ask Valtteri since he "invented" them in smbx.
hope i helped

Uh, that is way too complicated. I'd rather use SMB2 mushroom blocks, set them to be ungrabbable with grabside=0 and grabtop=0 and make them the size of a 2x2 pixel. Then I place the blocks over the slope BGOs.

You can't slide on those. Not to mention Link can stab them.

Hm, you're right. And I wouldn't have known about the Link problem, too, since I almost never play as Link.

I mean that it's complicated compared to my method, which is way simpler (although it has flaws, as FanofSMBX stated).

Sakke used Enchlore's method some years ago in his contest level, but used Veggies instead. The problem with that is that placing these 2x2 sized NPCs is really tedious. Sakke used Java Script to create loops that he could paste in the .lvl file in a text editor. And it's really complicated. And the result can be extremely laggy. The method that I use that Darkonius64 is talking about is way easier in my opinion. And it works really well, too.
Also, I'd like to point out that the method Darkonius64 mentioned isn't actually an invention of mine. I've used it a lot but GreenGreen invented it and used it in the 5th level contest.
