In the level with layer 3 water, if you fall down in the first part (well, you shouldn't, but people are curious, eh), you can even swim under those white pillars and jump below those rope tiles to go up, but there is one or too situations you get trapped because the water is low. There is no room for taking a run-up, you have to wait for the timer to expire (I don't mean the spot with the 1-up, since there is a invisible conin block to get out there).

Also in one last regular level, just before the castle, you put in two p-switch passages. The first makes sense, but the second one is pointless when the muncher pit is that short. With a big jump and timing you easily overjump the pit - even if not, simply step on hit, after getting hurt grab the power-up and proceed to the goal point.

When I came with a Yoshi, carrying a blue shell in his mouth, to the second switch (which is a one-block narrow, I died after I stepped on it. It doesn't make you die if you sit on Yoshi without a (blue) shell in his mouth; maybe this is due to the vertical "recoil" which Yoshi's wings do.

Some areas also seem a little short, so sometimes there is no need for midway points.

The graphics look nice in the most levels. There are the already mentioned palette/background problems and that hole where you run up vertically really looks suspicious. Other than that, you could hide the entrance by giving certain used blocks some ledge tile graphics. If you step on the switch, they suddenly turn into coins.

1. The weirdly solid hole there seems more conspicuous to me than a couple of used blocks.
2. Why not just move the top of the pipe, the ledge, the skulls, and the lava down a few spaces so that they show up on screen?

Background Palettes: You should tweak them so that they don't mess up those palettes.

Switch: Set the sprite setting to Switch Palace.

Sunshine Isle 1: Looks like you got rid of beginning part with the Torpedo Teds, which is a plus. The layer three water is weird with free vertical scrolling. The tide moves up and down in perfect sync with Mario's movements and it just looks odd. If you want a safety net for if players fall off the line-guided lifts, standard water would be the better option. Also, the cement blocks' palettes are messed up.


The cement block pallette is messed up because of the background.

I've seen this in other hacks, don't know what causes it.

There's something I forgot about

Sunshine Isle 3: When you run up the wall at the beginning with the pink triangle ramp, you run right over some blank space. I guess there are used blocks there, since you can go through once you hit a switch, but it's weird that they're invisible. At the beginning of the second part with the lava river, you're out of range of the screen when you're boarding the floating skulls.

That's intentional, because that map will be used for a later world.

Blame the background pallette again

Well, it is the last level in the demo, so it doesn't really matter for now. And I'll probably take out the smashers.

FreeDOS: Thankies
