APA649'S PROFILE

Pros:
Crimson indeed
As far as variety we have sections that goes: up, down and left
Good mood

Cons:
If your on foot, the jumps are way too tight considering an eroor leads to instant death.
You can get stuck without a chance of dying (although you must be as stupid as me.)
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF....

My thoughts:
I hated this level...
I'm sorry, I just didn't like this.
I got frustrated on the descent because of the excessive lava pits and the poor visibility.
Often when I go explore I'm put in MORE danger than normally...
Yeah I know risk & reward: but, often times this danger comes from me jumping down, not quite making it to safety,
and finally stepping my toe into lava.
The jumps, mainly in descend again, are way too tight, even with peaches floating ability, these spots are really hard.
And as mario it's almost impossible. (without the shoe)
Also 1st section doesn't have a roof which helps a bit if you don't have the shoe and the platform already went on it's way.
Though no-one in that situation is going to be like:
My ride! oh well I'll just allow it to go and stay here and explore this 1 screen.
Oh look maybe I can walk on the ceiling...
I can go on top YAY saved. (escpecially since I believe you need to be Peach in order to even survive that way either.
So, gettin' stuck...
This is rather stupid, but should be considered anyway.
I took (in section 3 btw) one of your spring boards...
Used it to make the last jump to the 3up (since I thought that jump was retarded and didn't want to waste my time)
well it worked great, until I had to come down...
Since the spring now blocked my way down I was stuck.
This level is cruel, but not unremediable.
Some places need more visibility, some a bit more room and some places where you could get stuck should have an alternative way out.
Roof doesn't count

AFTER UPDATE:
Update really didn't change most of my "complaints"


So that was harsh, but I believe your next level is better... Up next!

State: No complaints

My thoughts:
After 3 times playing through the tutorial tryig to find something, my eyes popped.
There's nothing wrong with this level.

State: No complaints

My thoughts:
Still a fun level.
Probably one of the bests in the collab.

AFTER UPDATE:
Nothing has changed so significantly that it affects my feeling.

Pros:
Fun little Link level
Boss fight is interesting and sort of funny.
The 2 rooms you have to go first to unlock this place was pretty neat.

Cons:
The turning into a (sorry if I'm mistaken) Navi was a neat idea, but the section you have to go through is brutal.
The ghost room from the 2 rooms at the beginning was wayy too short and easy compared to the other.
You can get stuck if you're still stupid.

My thoughts:
A good level, Some small problems came with my knowledge with Zelda.
I actually had to go to Zeldawiki to find out that 1 name, even then I'm not sure if there are multiple, are they all called Navi etc.
Nothing big.
As for the level, the main focus of this is Link's abilities, showed with multiple spring pushing sections, upwards strikes and downwards thrusts.
I really enjoyed the boos, good job there!
The ghost room like I said was too short and easy compared to the other.
I'd suggest a bit of balancing between these two.
Also the wrecking ball thing...
I know where they are coming...
The problem is that SMBX does not load them until they have a part of their sprite onscreen.
This causes some really out of nowhere attacks from these spinning BALLS of doom.
(heh, balls...(very mature :D))
Lastly:
You can get stuck at the end by going down to the spike area.
F.E: cuz of hidden treasure hunts!
You CAN die, but it kinda stings after all that you die b'cuz you went explore.
Such a rough penalty for such a small mistake.
Otherwise, I enjoyed it, lots of places were fun to traverse through!

AFTER UPDATE:
The 1st CON. A.K.A - Navi Section.
Is now alot more tolerable with the addition of HEALTH items.
--
BOSS!
Now, you can get up to the platform where WART is first...
Before this wasn't a problem since the platform disappeared after. I think.
NOW you can just slash 1st form.
jump and downthrust 2nd.
and slash 3rd!
There is no challenge anymore.
TRUE you have to get hit once but regardless.

State: No complaints

My thoughts:
A really good gimmick level.
You have to make sure you keep your lives up so you won't die.
It's also clearly divided into 4 routes, so you don't have to go through them all.
IF I had to suggest SOMETHING.
It would be some sort of sign when all enemies in one of these routes have been killed.
This way you can see where you missed some.
But then again the level is small enough, so you don't absolutely need it.

AFTER UPDATE:
No changes to my thoughts!

State:No complaints

My thoughts:
Another really good level.
I was actually a bit disappointed that you changed the ice/fire flower thing.
But, leaves work too.

Pros:
Really good looking
Seems hardish...

Cons:
Too bad I didn't have to really even try.

My thoughts:
This level is pretty good.
However some routes are clearly easier than others.
You can go through very high on the 2nd section JUST by hugging the left side wall.
Only the homing goombas can hit you.
In the first part, as long as you hold up in the vines. Even if you get hit you have a 99% chance of
hitting the vine next to you and allowing for a second hit to protect from damage.
It's easy or hard, depending on what the player feels like.

Pros:
No clash
Atmosphere is kinda good
Some original ideas

Cons:
Oh GOD! I hate that damn invisible coin block bridge. Thankfully it's rather short, but still AARGH!
It's also not at all clear that the switches to get the secret star are in the same room
Even though it has some puzzle elements, the level doesn't require you to do any except the end.

My thoughts:
I was hoping that I could praise this level, but I'm not ready yet.
I can't stand invisible coin bridges... I just can't...
But regardless of my preferences.
The main issue I have is that the secret star is so hidden within a secret...
I had no idea that I should've jumped randomly (I know the rule here) in the air and hit those blocks.
(By rule I mean the levels own rule where the blocks are hidden so yeah it's not random)
I thought that the switches were hidden somewhere and that I need to come back once I get all switches collected.
Also the mansion itself doesn't have really any puzzle elements.
The outdoors have... Isn't that now the other way around.
Shouldn't ghost houses have empty outdoors and puzzle heavy indoors.

Pros:
Music, it's epic
Level design, it's epic
Everything, it's epic

Cons:
When (brainfreeze) those ball spitting guys balls hit the wall the balls change back from custom balls to regular balls...
Too many Balls! (A.K.A. projectiles (possibly intentional))
You can get stuck... Again you have to be stupid and you can kill yourself.

My thoughts:
Really good, I enjoyed it
Boss was a rather painful asswipe, but the level was good.
So, I really don't have much to say for this.
Oh right CON explanation
If you try to do what I did. That is try to change the positions of the two weapons.
YOU will get stuck, however it's really stupid to do so.
AND you can kill yourself.
Overall: I think Mr.L. Said it best: L-ater
