Hi guys, Waddle Derp here! I'm here with a NEW boss fight, and a sneak peek :o . anyways moving on. The level. You fight a goomba who shoots magical stars at you. he goes invisible, you stomp his head, repeat, repeat, etc. It's a basic concept, but it's something I haven't seen before, so I brought it to you.

This looks interesting. I'll give it a try when I can.
EDIT: Tried it, it's a really cool boss, nice and creative, though personally, I'm not too fond of the whole 'Random voice telling you how to kill the boss' thing. Also, getting the star afterwards is kind of awkward. But aside from that, great boss!

Yeah, as I was saying, the boss is part of my project. The voice is part of the storyline. And about the star, that was just for fun ;) glad you liked it though!

This was a unique and nice boss fight. I really liked it. However, you should place the star somewhere else, because if you fall down the bridge you're dead.

This is a very nice boss in my eyes! Well done you!! It just shows you what you can do with a weak enemy like a goomba and turn it into a good boss battle!

TO ALL OF YOU BICKERING ABOUT THE STAR: It was more or less of a joke, I've fixed it in the project itself, which, by the way, I will release a demo of today! Be sure to check it out, I'd appreciate it Alot!

Wait, how do you make the player be able to go to the far left of the screen, then pop out from the right?

This is actually a fairly well made boss fight, even though it's pretty simple. It consists of needing to kill various Goombas and Ninji sprite swaps while avoiding Rinka sprite swaps. However, the "ZEFINALBAS" layer is placed in a bad spot. I would have probably beaten this on my first try, but I happened to be in the exact spot that that layer was when it appeared, and I was killed instantly. I recommend moving that layer up to where the others are and simply having the top bridge disappear when it appears. As for the star, the player can collect it by simply standing on the center bridge rather than having to jump down; I don't know if that was intentional or not. In conclusion, I'd say this deserves a 5/10 mainly due to the poor placement of "ZEFINALBAS" and the overall simplicity of the boss.

I guess that's okay. This was a very old level :)
