One day, Mario and Luigi received a letter inviting them to a hip-happening party going down in the mysterious World 9. After a long journey filled with trials and tribulations, they began to notice the imposing veneer of a towering stronghold...in World 7.

This was the legendary Fortress of Solitude. No one who has gone in has ever come out again. Will you be the first to do so?



Castles - Masterpiece Set is a compilation of castle levels in SMBX by the RMN community. It isn't so much a game as it is a gallery of levels. The focus of this event was Level Design: To make castles that are more engaging via the obstacles and layout of each level rather than through atmosphere or graphics. It's pretty tough!


~TO INSTALL~
1. If you don't have it, download SMBX (it's free!).
2. Download the gamefile and extract the .zip to the SMBX "worlds" folder.
3. Start up SMBX, click "Start Game" on the splash screen, and you're ready to go!

3. Did anyone playtest pyrodoom's final segment of his level? it is a good level with neat ideas, but that final area is a pit of death. I lost 10+ lives there. Getting one little powerup when contending with 2 ghosts, 2 koopas, a firespitter, and a goomba generator whilst trying to deal with out of sync platforms is a killer. I could not get through there without getting hit, dying over a half-dozen times, only to meet the most difficult boss to date. It was a neat design brought down by a lack of a second powerup. I get the sense that whomever tested came into the area powered up with other things and didn't think twice about that final segment. Still, a good level.

Yeah, aside from the Kult Klassic boss that final segment was the most frustrating experience for me in this game. Even more so because of how wonky the boss fight was, and if I ever died I'd have to replay that segment.
executive privileges was a joke. i really had no idea if the level was playtested because i didn't follow the event. i wasn't suggesting anything.

I'm dreading your level in my Let's Play. I went in the editor to look at it. The first half preceding the checkpoint isn't overly bad. It's everything afterward.

i found the opposite to be true. the first half killed me many times, and after the checkpoint i didn't die once. i played the entire game as luigi though. which proved to be difficult.
So are there any other projects in the works now?
Just submitted the first episode of my Let's Play! You can find it in the media tab. :)
The first part of my let's play has been uploaded.

Now I'm going to figure out how to submit a media item.

Aw I wish I would have seen it. If only your host stored the streams as seperate video files like Twitch TV.

I tried to figure out Twitch, but I had no clue how it worked, so I settled for uStream. If I ever attempt such a thing again, I'll give Twitch another chance.

OH NO. Looking forward to this one. Hopefully the Total Death Counter doesn't enter the triple digits, or worse.

I would have more makerscore If I did things.

That'll be Isrieri's Level, only it would be quadruple digits.

Isreri's level isn't bad once you figure out all the gimmicks. A tip I can give you is to jump in random places, because a lot of the powerups in that level are hidden, and the rest is good timing.

As for kult klassic, I learned that you can throw shells at an arc by pressing up+right key simultaneously and he became a breeze.

I thought you'd be doing that in the first place!

I know, right? Best game design ever! Remind me to beat Isrieri with a stick later.

Nah I've been trying to jump on the spawning koopas to reach bowser's ledge and throw a shell at him that way, or just pelt him with fireballs. This usually never works out as planned, though.

I guess I can safely call it a Carnival Night Zone Case.

I cannot believe how many times Desmo died in my level. This is what happens when I listen to you people and make things harder!

I'm looking forward to Link's review as well.

I might be willing to help out at least a bit.
