DESMO360'S PROFILE

Hey, nobody complains when Soli puts grass on the blocks :P

Hali's idea is a good one. If you flip the crab when you jump on it, it is clear that you can attack its weak point pick it up. This is much more intuitive thna expecitng the player to figure this out on their own. Though the crabs should be visually distinguishable in some way.

- there's a Koopa near the door that leads to Clawgrip's room that'll gank you the moment you leave it.

- red coin chuck suit makes the final battle a JOKE. I know you and GRS were debating ways to make this less so, but I don't think it worked. Try putting him inside one of Mother Brain's glass boxes. He won't be able to attack until he's freed, but it'll beef up his HP at least while other threats are at work.

- a stray crab hurt me while the end cutscene was playing. You should erase those spawned NPCs!

- crabs have never been a foe you can pick up. This is not intuitive at all! Maybe keep the crabs as a constantly spawning threat, and have a regular Shy Guy walk out every now and then.

- Peach looks weird getting crushed. I'd drop the floor out from beneath her instead. Or even in addition to the blocks falling.

- neat idea, but Yoshi looks...awful. Plus, you'll probably need a Mario forcer in this level. Resprite it to be a Yoshi forcer, maybe? I don't know what you can do about the sprites looking bad, though. Can the player's sprites be resized like those of NPCs?

- the level design is kinda simple. Seems like there could be more before the switch puzzles.

- the Koopa that kicks shells hits the switches at the top of the slope. He screws everything up if you don't kill him! A normal Koopa would be fine.

- the bats near the ceiling are avoidable, but very difficult! Perhaps the fire propeller cannon would be of more use here.

- this level is REALLY BORING. The P Switch part lags like a mofo too. Spice it up, fix the lag, blah blah blah.

- you're complaining about Firing Range when you have a bullet hell room like that? Excuse me???

- there is a point when you have too many Hammer Bros. I know, I've been there. I'd cut them back to the standard 2.

- in the crushing room, it's difficult to tell where it's safe to stand. Use the shape of the ceiling to make it more obvious!

- aaagh, don't have one pipe lead out another with a plant in it! Horizontal and ceiling plants don't hide from Mario! They'll kill you as you're leaving their pipes!

- the whole level wrapping pipe section is very poorly set up. Make it more spacious and remove the Goomba that threatens the player's entry point.

- in fact, it's often hard to tell where the player is starting from. Remove ANY threats to starting locations!

- dang, those swimming blue fish are fast! You should consider slowing them down, and maybe add more to the Jelectro portion.

- the green Koopa that spawns at the start of the fight is right in line to gank the player. Make it spawn later, or move its generator behind the Koopa Bros!

- the fire propeller cannon does NOTHING to Bullet Bills. Same with the POW Blocks! Give the player some weapons that actually help. Leaf powerups, the Bullet Cannon, anything more useful than what's already there.

- this is an unbeatable mindnumbing level. Even without that glaring problem, this stage is horribly convoluted. It's too visually confusing to be even remotely navigable, and the puzzle is a HUGE BITCH on top of the rest of that. I'd reconsider every single aspect of it. It needs toned down severely.
