LONESTARLUIGI'S PROFILE

author=halibabica
lonestarluigi's Crazy Mine Madness!:I like the feel of this level. It certainly gives a 'deep inside the earth' vibe. Most of the troubles I noticed are graphical issues, but here's the rundown.

- I dunno how I feel about these 2x speed koopas. I want to say they should have a different gimmick, but can't say exactly what. Fireproof makes sense to me, but then there's no reason to have fire flowers, and that's how buzzy beetles are already. I do kinda think buzzy beetles would be more thematically appropriate...

- Your pipes leave some cutoff between them and the ground. They should either end at the ground with non-surface tiles connecting them, or the ground should have surface tiles along the pipe's edges.

- There's cutoff with the edges of lava, too. If you take a lava block and change its filename to a background tile, you can put the background behind the wall to close the holes.

- The invisible block near the 1st flower is too much of a hazard. If the player hits their head by surprise, they could fall in the lava pit or crash into the piranha plant. A Yoshi jump can get you up there anyway, so it isn't needed.

- Your donuts need to be generators for 2P compatibility.

- Shouldn't the 1-up above the leaf be invisible?

- I don't know what those resprited wood blocks are made of, but it doesn't seem like they should hold up to lava like that. I'd make them into normal terrain (just in that spot).

- The koopa that rushes you on the conveyor belt is a little cheap, but only because it's the first one you see like this. If it were the third instead of the first, it wouldn't be a big deal.

- The formation of the floor near the 4th flower causes a kicked koopa shell to come jumping back in your face. The terrain there needs a normal corner instead of a slope!

- If you're going to put spikes over a conveyor belt, at least put wood blocks beneath them so they aren't floating.

- It's pretty rude that you need to have kept Yoshi for the whole stage to get the 5th flower. It's really close to the location of the 4th flower anyway, so I'd consider making a bonus room to put it in or something.

- Since the jagged black background isn't required for level endings, you can do without it.

It's a pretty solid stage and feels appropriate for W4. It's just a little rough around the edges, and these edits should be easy to make. Good work!
