2 - What made you change {REDACTED}?

Spoilers man! Geez, can't you see the sprite up above was blacked out? Now I don't even want to fucking play this thing.

;)

The stars unlock things, so while maybe not required to see all the levels, as gamers we needed to collect them to find out what's in that pipe that requires 10 stars. Ya know? And in order to do that we spent more time than I would have preferred wandering around a few levels.

There is a probably bit of smbx fatigue, although it's been months since I played any. But in all the previous RMNx games they seemed to be full of levels with wacky ideas. The mega man levels, the classic art themed level with the squares, kentona's level with a giant thing chasing you. My fucking off of the wall level ideas haha That is what has always appealed to me since the beginning of the smbx era. Something new and interesting.

But, I might be rushing to judgement here. We only played about a dozen levels? How many is there in total?

If you showed this to someone who never played any smbx games and likes Mario, it would rock their socks off. It's well crafted and well balanced, kudos, but I've always had different tastes. I wouldn't worry too much about what I think, I just wanted to share my thoughts.

Deckiller, sure thing. Ask and ye shall receive.

Are there any levels that have unique concepts beyond basic running and jumping? Any standouts that might appeal to my tastes?

Oh, does anybody have a save file with the entire game unlocked? That might be a good idea, so we can skip levels that don't appeal or hold us up because we can't fucking beat them. I've always hated ghost houses haha.

And one thing I'm remembering, in that underwater level where the sea of ghosts phase in and out. I felt like the change happened too quickly, and there wasn't enough space between the ghosts. That section was fucking hell to get through. There was a period of like a full minute where we didn't make any progress at all. We were just struggling to stay alive and keep our yoshis. It's a good concept but was too constricting.

Played with a friend. It's a solid game but kinda bland. None of the levels took any chances or did anything interesting. It was just run and jump standard fare. Granted we didn't get far. The Ghost house on the second world got us stumped and I gave up playing. It seemed like we explored everywhere available but there was nowhere left to go.

Maybe there's better levels later but meh.

Digging those maps. Downloaded.

Edit: If the game uses all custom resources you should consider making it work without needing to install the RTP.

This is why I have an Assistant Director. I can easily shift the blame! kentona provided me with a copy of the css for the Befuddled game page. I'll take some time to make some adjustments, to fix the problems and make it my own.
