An easter egg collectible that gives you 99 lives (it's actually just 33 moons stacked on top of each other and resprited).
To get it you have to make it to the very end of the fishin' fish guy section without winning - so it's hard enough to get to that I don't think it's game breaking. It more just serves as a non-grindey way to refill your lives if you know about it and can get to it.

It's combination of this and this.

Everyone still hates the thwomp room/section 10, which surprises me to be honest. It's supposed to be a timing puzzle, and taking it one more spinny block away basically makes the entire room pointless. I'd feel kind of bad about effectlively removing it, but I'll do it it you deem it necessary.
(Fun fact: It was a lot harder originally - it used to be five spinners. That version was just barely beatable and ridiculously tedious. I found the four spinner version just fine, but that's just because I found a specific reliable routine which people probably won't find on the first try.)

The left door is probably my least favorite. Having generated skull raft npcs is a bit of a bad idea, due to skull raft npcs being the most 'unstable' of SMBX's npcs. It's really easy to fall in the lava/spikes (which is kind of confusing to determine the difference between them), and to make things worse, the fact that they just spawn right above you (or from the right) makes jumping partially random. The generators are a bit too fast for the player and it just makes it difficult.

I made some of the generators slower. Others have to stay fast though, so you can jump onto a newly spawned skull raft if another one carries you someplace you don't wanna go.

The bananasnake that falls off during the secret exit path is meant to be a pleasant surprise and I'd like to keep it in.

The second time I got to the boss, everything was glitched out and the bat cannon didn't appear. I got permanently trapped on the left side of the elevator.

I played through especially the secret path quite a few times, but I didn't manage to sequence break like this, ever. I'm a bad tester though.

In Section 11, Increase the delay for the bat generators

I kinda tried that, and it didn't make it significantly easier or fairer, but took away what's intense and special about the section.
Some of the bats are also timed so you can chain bat jumps to stay in the air or reach higher places. (I should have optimized that a little, though... but it's fiddly and I'd probably make it worse if I changed anything)
I moved the one annoying one that used to immediately knock away the skull you just picked up, though.

I also added a situational Luna Tower-style shortcut (requiring the cape) so people don't have to do the bat room 20 times in case they have trouble with it.

Use a Mushroom Block instead of a veggie for they key. It's easier

I'm using mushroom blocks elsewhere and they're kind of integral to the minigame thing that earns you the moon.

I also clarified some things with better signs and coin trails, as requested...

-The Thwomp section was really annoying and and aggravating and not fun at all.
-It's been a while, but I recall the bat generators had to be increased, otherwise you're guaranteed to get hit no matter what you do. I don't recall there being no way to complete that section without taking a hit, and just felt extremely spammy.
-For the Veggie/Mushroom Block thing, that has to be be 100% changed to a mushroom block. It just does not work with a veggie. It will almost certainly lead people to think the level was not tested and does not work, and will look bad on you. I will not let this level in without that change.

I switched to a mushroom block (sorry - I had forgotten there's multiple types of them), and it appears like mushroom blocks can't trigger on-"death"-events at all.
If there's no way to fix this, I'll probably make it so pressing a switch both drops the key and transforms the exit room.

In the thwomp room, I changed another spinning block to a brick one. I'm pretty sure no one will have trouble with the two remaining ones.

As for the second coming of Zubat, as of the previous update, it's not too hard to avoid getting hit anymore - you still need to dodge carefully before kicking the shell-skull, but afterwards, waiting a second while the vine grows and then climbing without a pause should be enough to make all the bats and bullets swoop below you harmlessly.

Removed the hand thing and changed the inside background.
I'm not sure what other problems Septentrion found, so I suppose that will be all for now.
