NIN8HALOS'S PROFILE

I'd like to avoid having one person with multiple levels in the same world. At all costs, even.

Why?!? That's silly. I can understand doing so for the most part, but if we absolutely need to I'm fine with bending the rules a bit for the sake of making something cool.

No. It is more important that we follow this rule than make the game good. How do you think people would react if someone has two levels in the same world? This community would collapse into violent anarchy.

The way I was planning on handling the boss stages will mess with our star count a little. See, each boss stage will actually be worth two stars. One at the end of the level, and one in the hub when they return. Both are SMW stars. The boss portrait brings them to a star in the hub that unlocks the next world (as well as part of the bonus warehouse). The star in-level is needed so the player knows if they've cleared the stage or not. The star in the hub is needed to allow the player to pass even if they don't have every star from the previous world.

This sounds immensely more complicated than it needs to be.

It's exactly as complicated as it needs to be. Unfortunately, it's the only way to make the bosses mandatory without requiring every single star up to that point.

Can we just give mouser a pirate hat and eyepatch instead of making a whole new sprite? Because I love the idea of pirate mouser.

That's a great idea! Pirate Mouser would be awesome! Whoever already did that is a genius! (I already did that.)

So if I make the boss for World 4, does Starry Night Over the Rhone have to stay in World 5? Cuz that's not very hard to do. I can make it slightly more difficult if you want.
Also, I have a really great idea for a boss now. But it's so good, it should probably be in World 5 or higher.
Also also, will some of us need to have more than one level in the same world to make this work?
And I can totally nerf the Guard Dog into a mere obstacle and move that level to World 7 in order to open up World 6 for my excellent boss idea.
I really like making bosses.

Ahhhhh that makes sense.

hi ave just question ave just to play in your episode is dos works on smbx 1.3 ave message error is tape mismach

Yep, same problem here - when trying to enter first stage, error pop ups saying:
"Run-time error '13' type mismatch". Now question: How can I play your game????

I have no idea why that would happen. SMBX has some weird bugs, and what's even weirder is they don't happen for everyone.

I had an idea for a boss based off something SpoonyBardOL did: A Ghoma from Zelda up on the ceiling that shoots rocks down on your head. And you have to grab the rocks and either toss them back up at him or rebound them off the walls in some way. Maybe that can be the boss of Castle of the Damned.

Actually I was wondering what difficulty you guys think that level should be. I was shooting for World 5 or 6 but wasn't too sure.

As long as it's not too similar to what he did.
I think that level could be World 5. Or 6. My World 6 boss level is probably not going to make it as a boss level.
