Super RMN Bros. 3

Deckiller has made a level!
You still going to make good on that 3 levels?
I'll try to get to more level reviews when I can actually get to a computer.
6 to 7 crueling hours to go...

Super RMN Bros. 3

Fast thoughts on Snow Mountain Castle!
Very intricate puzzle / adventure level.
Not much to complaine.
Puzzles take a bit time to figure out but should probably be solved in 2 minutes or so.
The section with multiple thwomps could use a extra power-up since I died twice there due to my unrealization that you can run underneath fine as mini mario.
The final battle thing I got a bit unlucky with since a Koopa spawned right on top of me ensuring a cheap hit.
I haven't checked the editor yet so I don't know much about real hidden goodies EXCEPT the star which was to be honest really easy to find.
I believe the blocks that lead up should not be immediatly visible from the entrance.
Having them tucked up so that by climbing those stairs you can see em' could probably solve the problem, maybe.
But, otherwise really good asfar as I can tell.
I can't leave anymore details since I'm already hard pressed by time, If I get a chance I'll do it later, unless somebody beats me to the punch.
Also I'm not coloring / spell checking my letter but you already know why so I hope you don't mind.
Really enjoyed it, looking forward for more!

Super RMN Bros. 3

Nice!
I'll be trying it out actually immediatly even though it's getting quite late here.
I'm going to leave a quick feedback soon
and possibly if no-one else has at the time I'm gone I'll do a more in depth one
tomorrow about 3PM which is about 16 to 18 hours away...

Super RMN Bros. 3

Good, Good for seiromem...
Now I must go back and plot my evil scheme to rule SRMNB3...
¤EVIL LAUGHTER¤

No, but I'll wait for more levels to come around and do a quick recheck on your levels around the same time.

Super RMN Bros. 3

OH!
Be careful with you're fixes.
Let's see...
It's not that bad they are pretty easy fixes.
---
1P start point preferably at the start of your level!
There are no warps therefore no way of getting to section 2!
Checkpoint could be more further in the level. (maybe after the bridge thingy)
The section at the end of SECTION 1 with the metroid enemies LA.a.A.aGs! (it dropped to like 4FPS)
---
Those are the major ones!
Fix em' and this is fine again!
All around be careful with your fixes or you might make things alot worse.
Thankfully this isn't that bad.
I would have recommended a fast closing slow retrieving crusher, but due to SMBX's horrible speed inconsistencys it's too much to ask.
Really I'm making one and it took 1 hour to fix it near perfection!
It still gets a bit off sync after about 4 minutes in but, whatever!

Super RMN Bros. 3

It's great that you bring up your own opinions out too, even though I will be making the reviews like normally, nothing I say HAS to be done.
THAT, on the other hand is halibabica's job.
I was atleast cracking a smile when I saw you're way of fixing the convayance problem in Magma Caverns.
You could have gone a bit more subtle, but whatever I quess it works regardless.
And I wasn't very serious with my comments on you making many levels.
I have about 5 levels in progress in which 2 might come up in SRMNB3 and the other 3 probably will be discarded, but my point is that my life for the next month or so is probably going to be SRMNB3 with a little of school and sleep, so I'm not probably the best to talk about level quantities. XD
I'll try the factory again since it seems like it could have gone through a bit of an overhaul while the other two have pretty straightforward fixes.
I'll try and not get my hopes up to 300% this time, but I make no promises.
You'll definatly here if I'm still disapointed.

Super RMN Bros. 3

So after a small break here is Major Linkage!
Link_2112's "Major Linkage" level.

Pros:
Lots of variety
Plenty of routes
Secrets and goodies
Feels like Zelda
Overall design is great
Fair but difficult at the same time.
Cons:
What is up with those holes (like missing blocks shaped as a lollipop?) in section 11?
Buddy, you're bone fish are missing an effect sprite! You can also kill them by just gently lowering your feet on top of em.

My thoughts:
No lag for me!
Start up takes a while but it's not too horrific.
Again had to change the npc 30 something speed to something, which makes the secret wall part a lot harder for me since you can't outrun the ghost eyes very easily.
Not in anyway you're fault I'm mainly telling this to say I have no idea whats beyond it because I can't get through it due to those fast eyes.
But regardless it's a great level all it needs is some last fine tuning and sprites and for me it's ready to go!
The level has some fun little distractions that can help you on your quest or give you hints and tips.
It's also a really artistic level and again shows the effort you have done for this level.
Really a great level! I hope that you would make more for this event!

Seiromem's Level pack #2
Magma Caverns

Pros:
Good Concept
Creates a sense of rush and panic!
Incredibly fun after a mild confusion.
Enemy placement for the most part is really good.
Cons:
Poor conveyance at the start.
If you make a wooden platform fall and fail to make the jump you are screwed.
Bonus room uses SMB3 FireFlowers, Main level SMW ones.
Bonus room contains 2 extra Fire flowers!
The last room could lose some of the NPCs.
The Lava monster thing (forgot its name) can jump out of the lava and looks just ugly.
Lower your none rising lava pools by 1 block or else you get burned if you try to make a late jump. (AKA jump at the very edge)

My thoughts:
A really good level in terms of structure, My 2 main cons with this level is the Conveyance at the start, My initial start went a bit like this:
Lovely looking place, Toad? What are you yelling at?
Oh My god LAVA!!!
What do I do?
Bat bird animal things!! I must use them to jump on those sturdy wooden platforms!
Oh my god! this is tricky. Hnnggh finally made FFFFF....
So now I know the platforms fall. So, jumpeti jump jump and WTF? A dead end? Oh wait the level warps... Well F###.
Ahhh... Brilliant story I must say.
And the other problem is the over abondense of MAX height jumps (AKA jumps you can BARELY MAKE)
Also the secret room feels pointless since let's think of this...
LAVA kills you instantly, You get a Fireflower before the part with the switches.
This part contains 0 enemies,and the bonus room 1. The bonus room prize = 2 fireflowers.
So now I have 3 goddamn fireflowers. What am I gonna do with all those?

Funklen Forest

Pros:
It feels like a forest!
Alot of well placed Mushrooms and plants.
Decent sized!
Well designed!
Cons:
The trees are clearly meant to be in front of Mario. This is not the case.
A KAIZO TRAP! (End of first section lower power-up.)
Bonus room IS WAYYYY too hidden. I would have never quessed to go there mainly because it looks like death.
Maybe too many power-ups? 5 RETRIEVABLE on the ground and 2 in blocks.+Bonusroom!

My thoughts:
Pretty cool looking forest level, lots of diffrent types of foliage and enemies.
Sometimes the foliage can confuse you but I think it actually works more to the levels advantage.
Again I found the boss room to be weird much like in "Airship G" maybe it's because I don't like diffrent?
Otherwise the level is rather solid IMO, some of the secrets to me feel poorly excecuted but then again they are not mandatory.
Except the Kaizo Trap, that has to go. Or if there is a weird way of getting out of there hint the player more clearly.
Otherwise I'd say this is a pretty well done level.

The Factory

Pros:
It's a decent level, nothing really special here to comment.
Simple, and it works in a way.
Cons:
Factory? I'm sorry I can't get any factory feel out of this.
I hate those fireballs!!
You gain about 7 to 8 lives at the end.

My thoughts:
Short level and not much to say but, I'm still kinda disappointed how I was expecting a EPIC factory level and instead got a good enough metroid crossover.
Don't get me wrong I think the level is OK but with a name like "THE FACTORY"
I was expecting Gigantic Crushers, Conveyore belts, Generators, Metal blocks, Dark atmosphere and all that jazz.
It's Good enough as it is but I think I got my hopes up a bit too much.
All my cons are in the cons section here I have nothing to add.

@Link_2112 You're level is up next I swear, I'll just have to take a small break.

Super RMN Bros. 3

Nice. I'm going to definatly try and play them as soon as I get home which is in about 6 hours.
Also damn seiromem you are pushing out levels fast.
I'm really hoping they are good since I'd hate if you tried to push out many levels just because you want to get many levels out. That's my job!
i'm using my cellphone so I'm sorry for my many spelling errors.

Super RMN Bros. 3

Again due to my limited time in the mornings I have to retreat a bit and try out the levels later.
I still have a few left to look at and I'm probably
gonna skip some levels if halibabica has already made a review that I have nothing to add.
