... simply the essence of Football ... I could conceive of a level that used "npc: goomba" that in fact uses no NPC that is normally a goomba, nor makes any NPC act quite like a vanilla goomba, and yet is clearly inspired by goombas, and exudes visceral goombaness. There are many many dir...

I rather like some of the creative use of footballs conceptually... yet it's also so hostile , and boy was the elevator hard on the eyes. This level truly is the embodiment of football. (take from that what you will) Also, really thinking it'd be nice to add a fixed pattern mode to the footballs in ...

Huh... I really like some of the tech here in Zatsu's level... but I have to say... Changing mode when you get hit really works against the mechanics of this level. I realize it's inherited behaviour from how you normally lose powerup when you get hit in The Marios, but that's really superfluous/cou...

If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say my favorite Tier 4 level is Frozen Sushi Scavenge. In it's current state I wouldn't call it the best level of Tier 4, being both rather unfinished and it's intro is a bit text-heavy, but I rather like it's atmosphere, which is a thing I'm big on. Runner up points...

simply including everything in your chosen gimmicks, in a functional way, is still not enough to score a 20/20 in certain judging instances, so it's like... what exactly are you rating? Did the author use all of the terms and they all operate correctly? Then they fully used the gimmick, right? Appa...

at some point in X2 development, the way the speed of the baseballs was calculated when you assigned a custom speed value was changed, i believe that at least one of the judges played a version where the baseballers were unmanageable and ridiculous. I'm rather certain that the judges did not play w...

As Rednaxela and others (here and on YouTube) have pointed out, the level simply didn't need the kill blocks on top of everything else. It's just too easy to accidentally bump or nudge them while navigating the rooms Since you reference me, I will note that even though I'm not a fan of the kill blo...

not damningly worse I feel like you have a lot higher bar than me for "damningly", at least when it comes to tedium. Even as someone who got almost all the references and had no troubles with and quiz/riddle aspect beyond the hammer, the repetition of the same utterly boring ow-I-stubbed-...

I believe you omitted the final sentence of your review there, Red. Ah yes, the bit Enjl requested: hmph~☆ Also will add, I appreciate that plenty of work went into this, and there are some clever bits... but as a package it's just really really unfortunate and unpleasant to play, even when you ful...

I played this Mathy MaFAB2 entry myself last night, and wrote my unofficial review of it at that time: I never knew purgatory felt like the world's worst game of 'The Floor Is Lava'. Firstly, the actual quiz is basically a trivially easy non-entity until you're right near the end with Cirno. Rather ...

Is there a list of hub music credits somewhere? I'm curious who made the music for various hub zones, and also curious if my hub music got used or not, but I also don't want to spoil myself by poking through the game just yet. There's a big ol' episode credits list for the end of things, which incl...

Ah, the reveal.

football chucks are just demonic spiders.

This could be it's own level title.

So here's what a 5/5 clocks level looks like, only a few days after I first wondered about it. I think I would agree with that, too. At least Maks' level, while super long, had multiple checkpoints to reduce the iteration time. How long did it take Zatsu to beat today's level? I'm guessing >>30 min...

Nothing too much of note there yet but https://rednaxela.talkhaus.com/ exists with some silly proof-of-concept shenanigans.

(Also because I'm silly I may have a Lua environment of sorts running key parts of of this page)

As noted in the relevant thread , a hotfix to SMBX2b4 patch 4 (now 2b4.4.1) has now been released. Mentioning it here since many of the fixes in this came up in connection with MaGLX3 (including one fix that happens to be important for 117th place and may be why this couldn't be put off any longer i...

A hotfix to SMBX2b4 patch 4 has now been released. The download is at the usual download place and the list of changes is here . Many of the fixes in this came up in connection with MaGLX3. (I personally didn't quite get all the changes I originally hoped to in this hotfix, but will likely be a &quo...

119th - Poised Pokey Treehouse Maze: This is a nice cute level, not much to it, but I like it for what it is. 118th - The Sea Serpent's Shrine: Okay, so.... I actually really like this level overall, and were I to score it I might have been tempted to score it similar to Sturg overall, but with more...

nyoro~n (I'm not gonna weigh in on how useful "typical player" clear times are for typical players, 'cause, y'know, me. But I do feel the number of people who think tonight's level was underrated in length is worth considering with regard to "how typical players interpret the numbers...

I feel like if you're already reporting difficulty then ideally length would just be "raw length of the level"? >.> Like it's obviously too late to do anything about it and it's not a big deal anyway, but in case we do it again in the future. Like, if a level gets 5/5 mushrooms of course ...

So what was the criteria that decided the lengths for these levels? How long it took the judges to beat the level? The number of screens? Bowser's Ultimate Armada was 3/5 clocks, which would put it on par with Secretive Spectre Stadium and the wavy platforms level earlier in this hub. But this one ...

Besides jump plain being pressed slightly too early, there are two other things in SMBX that technically can make key/button inputs get 'eaten' hypothetically: - A press will generally not count if the key/button was also held during the prior frame, even if it was super briefly released between con...

It's like the game takes a few extra frames to set the isOnGround flag to true after you land from a jump. It's not too bad and you do get used to it, but coming off of SMW it's rough. There isn't really any "isOnGround" delay in SMBX. The first frame you begin on the ground is the frame ...

After I updated to 0.9.4, I get this error message if I change the textbox design. It works well when I choose the original one. That's a known error in 0.9.4 that'll be fixed in 0.9.5. Not that only the "Grape" theme has this problem, you don't need to choose the original one, just anyth...
