I think gbreeze did a good job making it clear what you had to do to get the moon. Even if you have no technical knowledge of glitches like me, there should still be an instinct to make a coin factory by duping the multiple coin block that just happens to be next to a wall. Then, just jump on the no...

Version 2

Warning: Contains a harmful allergen, the .bps file.

PleaseHold the Line is janky, fun, and interesting. Some fun facts about my level: 1. The first dragon coin is possible to get if you are fast and get on the angel block from the right side. Then, you can get back on the eater chain and jump to safety. raocow isn't alone in misunderstanding this obs...

play the level yourself, Reb. raocow got insanely lucky.

My level is probably tomorrow, and I will say right now that it is also unfair. Cave town is a thing.

I almost never comment that much on aesthetics, but Warehouse's background had black borders around everything. It was seriously distracting. Unsettling Bastion's first half was above average but not amazing. I also think it could have some vertical elevator section where the bones and skulls change...

2 examples of why JUMP1/2 needs an actual tutorial on how blue and green pipes work... sigh.

Speaking of JUMP1/2, there's a level that has like 60 plants in it. Thankfully there's no balloon, or else it would be some nightmare.

ha, ha -Nelson 2017

Magmatic Cliffs had very good setups with the skull raft. It doesn't do too much, but it's executed very well. I also really like the aesthetics and the music. Stormy Ruins is excellent. But it could be excellent-er. It literally had all the ingredients: Invisible coin blocks that come out only some...

It is absolutely amazing how such a small difference can have a huge impact. If this level had a 1up checkpoint, I think Pyro would not have been as angry/rewind-y. (still angry though because she sucks at puzzles) Notice some of the tiredness when raocow messed up the star escort. That was basicall...

but what about the brown blocks sticking out in worldpeace's vldc7 level

also "Swissotel" is some high-class hotel apparently

ON/OFF guides, or even ON/OFF controlling what the grinders do would have been so morsel-like. I want to see that.

I don't think it's the bad aesthetics. The colors are nice and the music is sublime. I would also like to point out that levelengine beat the second half of the level in one try.

Yep...

and now the Swiss authorities ban the use of pavement/half sticking out cement blocks

Interplanetary uses dirt formations, bones sticking out of the ground, and other A E S T H E T I C features in a non-horrible way in my opinion.

I think it was just raocow who didn't notice that it was just a reskinned porcupuffer, lol

MiracleWater: 3 tries, takes about 120-150 SMW seconds to beat, which is slightly long, but whatever. I have a lot to say about this room (well, first, it doesn't feel like a room. It feels like a gimmick that is going to be drawn out in every possible way in an actual level.) Disabling spinjump is ...

This level aside, I'm super looking forward to some of the other levels in this world for various reasons.

Also, the cable car thing. It's weird.

I immediately died upon entering the top-left station due to Mario being in a weird position on the screen.

oh lol I just realized we're all talking about different versions. I was talking about version 3. I just played version 4, and it's fine. Small nitpicks: The invisible mushroom that pops out usually falls into the hole... I had to scroll the sprite off screen and back to get it. I spinjumped on the ...

I think the lack of a midpoint makes players more cautious in the castle part because the punishment of death is so high. And, it's quite hard to die in the castle part (in my opinion). If there was a midpoint, raocow would have frolicked more in the castle and died a few times probably. Also, the s...

I have a few things and ideas to note. First chain, jump too late -> miss green parakoopa otherwise, I think there's two frames that work...? Second chain: I miss the paragoomba falling from the sky a lot. I think that one's frame perfect. Also, I missed the wall triangle once as well. After going u...

I can usually figure out how the wacky physics/gameplay gimmicks that people are vanilla, but the Bowser statue one is eluding me. What's the technical reasoning behind this one? I think it bumps the bowser statue slightly to the left, which changes its X-position enough for it to start breathing f...
