Re: test.smc.letsplay
Damn it, raocow, all you had to do was follow the damn rock!
Re: test.smc.letsplay
That's really my point though. The level's really not that badly designed so raocow's claim it's chock full of bad decisions is pretty unfair to it. The most unfair thing would be that trick thwomp near the beginning and I don't think most people are going to complain about that one. Most people will find it funny the first time and easily avoid it after that.Ryrir wrote: ↑7 years ago to be fair it's a pretty challenging thing to design - you want the indicators to be obvious enough to avoid cheap deaths, but you don't want them to be too obvious otherwise the whole point of the level is gone
it's only natural that some people are going to notice the hints right away and others will have... a more difficult time with it
the fact that raocow could beat it just by running through everything is probably a good thing too, because it means that it's possible to beat even if you don't notice any of the signs

Re: test.smc.letsplay
The sprite for Mario mine-carting uphill is insanely fucked up, it looks like he's bleeding heavily from his facial orifices.
Re: test.smc.letsplay
raocow, could you not have made that jump you kept dying on by just keeping your momentum for a running jump? It's close enough that I'm actually not sure.
Also I think you were overcomplicating the jump after the Yoshi jump. The reason the timing felt off and you had to come up with that alternate way of dealing with it is that you kept pausing after the Yoshi jump which delayed the second mole spawning. If you'd kept going to the edge of the platform then you could have jumped off both moles just fine as appears to be intended.

Re: test.smc.letsplay
If I recall correctly it's extremely difficult to get running speed on only three tiles. You have to repeatedly land on the very, very edge of the platform multiple times in a row for it to work.
The way I did the jump is by scrolling the screen and jumping off the moles that were falling off the other platform in midair, which also requires some insane timing but ultimately seemed easier to me than what raocow ended up doing.
The mole level is the hardest one of the hack though, so the rest of the game will probably look easy in comparison.

Re: test.smc.letsplay
This is probably the closest we will get to raocow LPing Brutal/Kitiku Mario.
Also fireworks, you never see them used in SMW hacks (for obvious reasons though).
YI speed Monty Mole bouncing is not something you usually see, but that makes it more interesting.
Oh man VIP castle, I'm looking forward to that.

Re: test.smc.letsplay
The VIP castle was very annoying for me because the fast autoscroll was extremely finnicky. That is bad because there's two long autoscrollers before the fast autoscroll.
I know that raocow is experienced with the VIPs, so it might be easier on him.
For the fast boomerang bullets: The fast bullet jump in the first half drained a ton of my lives. I always tried to make it go left and then boomerang back. I tried to bounce on the boomerang, but that's hard.

Re: test.smc.letsplay
Bullet jumping: not even once.
Re: test.smc.letsplay
Sounds fun.The kaizo version is available, if you want to try it jump and press up at the start. It's totally optionnal and I don't recommend it.
Re: test.smc.letsplay
The original version is 1000x worse, so be glad you played this one haha
It's honestly a very a good remake - it keeps enough of the original layout of the level to be easily recognizable, but still has a lot of originality and creativity behind it. It basically keeps the good parts of the original level intact while redesigning the bad parts.
Here & Here are the videos of raocow's playthrough of the original level, if anyone is interested

Re: test.smc.letsplay
I disapprove of calling yogui's level 'better' than the level it was based on. It is unlikely that the VIP author was trying to make a level that any one could manage to muddle through in 20 or so minutes. Comparisons are odious.

Re: test.smc.letsplay
Contrasts, by contrast, are garfieldian.
Re: test.smc.letsplay
The "Tunnel of Love" is much more forgiving in this version. It might even be possible to sight read it (without having to get lucky) if you're fast.
This version of the level looks a lot more fun to play. Although I'm not even sure how the first area differs meaningfully from the original.

Re: test.smc.letsplay
So. These levels were not, perhaps, representative of yogui's best work, but that's why they were in this misc. compilation, after all. Still, it was an amusing diversion nonetheless, and I do not regret welcoming its light to illuminate our assorted orifices for a brief, reflective moment. And who would have suspected that yogui would turn out to be a gigantic, ravenous Cheep-cheep all along? All of us, that's who. Every last one of us.
Re: test.smc.letsplay
It's nice seeing a hack that doesn't end up with lots of single level videos, it feels like it's been quite a while since the last one. I guess that's part of the benifit of playing a one person thing, there's no people competing to see whose level is the most time consuming to play.

Yeah contest/compilation hacks are starting to get a bit cumbersome sometimes. Everyone wants to be the masterstroke giant level that redefines Mario world.tirakai wrote: ↑7 years ago It's nice seeing a hack that doesn't end up with lots of single level videos, it feels like it's been quite a while since the last one.

Like just make a romp dude it's fine no ones gonna complain if it feels like a real Mario World level.
Although the alternative is SMBX and man.
Man.
That engine and that games style and general look (and the giant empty screen) all just rub me the wrong way.
