So if you haven't pressed all the switches, but reach and save at the airship level... Is your save completely ruined? Because you can't beat the level AND can't leave? Or are the dotted line areas something other than reverse switch blocks?

I've said this before, but I love the Elite Koopas. No group can intimidate and instill fear in the player like they can. And there is much variety to choose from! Green, Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Black, and repeat for the Para- variants.
Whoever programmed them did a good job.

White and black are by Atma on SMWC, I think and they suck
The rest are by Yuga, i assume, since they first appeared in smw yeah

Like the normal Elites have pretty creative and challenging movesets, Divine and Fallen only exist because SMWC was in their "oh we can do better than those filthy Japanese and Talkhaus, we started SMW hacking first!" phase and the best they could come up with is bullshit wind and bullshit unpredictable projectile vomit that just fucks the player over

My favorite was the Elite Yellow Para-Troopa, who divebomb right in front of you. Talk about making an entrance!

But with all thar variety, I don't know why the two boss battles was Yellow-Green-Red, then Yellow-Yellow-Red. At least throw the Blue one into the mix.

I'm super impressed by raocow's playing today. That airship is not an easy level at all, even if he made it seem like one!

Elite koopas are a good meme. Anyone remember SMWCP?

Indeed. This is how it's supposed to look:

Basically, I messed up some of the multiplication/division fixes by forgetting to read out the result. Oops.
Though I have to wonder why custom cannons are using multiplication and/or division to determine their trajectory when they always just go in a straight line in one specific direction, but I digress.

I made a quick update that also includes the level name change I mentioned before, so go over to our thread if you really care about this and want it fixed.

Nice thing about this hack is it gives you 99 lives when you reload from SRAM.

The gif above might also explain the function of the dotted outline blocks:

It looks like the bullets are set to fire when you touch a red one? I'm not sure what the purpose of the other colors might be, but it's probably fair to say that they're not reversed switch blocks after all.

Yes, I can confirm that the dotted blocks are in fact triggers for the cannons to fire. Or at least the red kind in the gif is, I haven't checked what the yellow ones do. Whatever they do, I do not believe that the hack would pull a deadlock like that deliberately.

Okay, I've cleared the last few posts here from that recent discussion. Sorry that SMW Central did stuff to that to you back in the day. That said, let's keep discussion in this thread to the game itself or raocow's playing of it.

Maybe they're loading triggers? So the game knows when to overwrite the previous corridor.

What's the idea behind that "you have to beat these levels back to back" thing?
You get a save between them anyway, and there weren't midpoints, so even if you game over you don't have to redo anything different from a regular death other than wait through the game over screen.

The red cannons firing the wrong way in the westernized version really makes that part of the level a Cramped, Difficult Space (that basically requires tanking it)

Castloli sounds like some kind of mushroom dish.

Anyhow, this level is neat. It occurred to me that for some time now, the hack has moved completely away from the impression it had in the beginning, which to me seemed like 'funny new gimmick every level' and is now more like a serious game.

What a bizarre, and also kinda rough final castle so far. Was kinda hoping for a hidden weird midpoint at the second set of doors but maybe it'll be something like, two sets of doors, then a midpoint, then another set or two of doors? Pretty sure other castles have done something like that before.
Because Touhou OCs can in fact exist, sounds fake I know.

I can't change my username but I go by Vali/Claire now (aka call me Vali or Claire at your leisure ^^).

I never update this currently playing section anymore, it's probably an RPG or something.

one set (pick two), one set (pick two), end level.
no boss, no midpoint, no body, no mind, no shape, no shape

It was interesting how the level kept playing with your expectations throughout the video. You thought it was a classic door choice, but the third door seems to skip a section. Except it doesn't, you need to play the second door part after the third door part. So you suspect that you need to play all three doors, with the ordering depending on the door you pick at the start. But after two sections you're somewhere new. So given that it's 2->3 and 3->2 maybe you think the first door is the odd one out. But then you find out that you first pick a door and then the game picks one of the remaining doors for you.

I'm not sure if this is more of a good sign or a bad sign for the game's design:

A) having raocow debating between dealing with footballs on ice or fishing fish guy and not seeming to particularly mind either option; or
B) having a third option so nightmarish it has raocow debating between footballs and fishing fish guy

I wouldn't have as much of a problem with fishing fish guy if it wasn't for the fact that when he turns, his fire just flings over like 2 blocks in a single frame
