I'm currently working on a vertical level on level 10B. I made a level exit for 10C, but every time go through it, it brings me back to the main entrance of level 10B. Any idea on what I'd be doing wrong?

It might have something do to with some ASM Hack. In the one level I am making right now, if you go down the first pipe (currently unlinked to anything), it'll take you back to the entrance of the level from whence you came. The other pipes in the area work fine. Are you sure the exit is linked correctly?

Did you intend for this, and if so, how did you do it? It could be rather useful. No getting stuck in the endless bonus room of death.

Definitely. I haven't done any asm hacking at the moment, and the pipe is exactly on the top-right of the screen where the exit is located. I'm guessing it could be the fact that I used a vertical level for it, but I'm betting that's highly unlikely.

Sure you aren't using a primary exit instead of a secondary one?

Are you sure you're not accidentally starting off in a level identical to 10B (with the exit being the only difference)?

Yep, I'm certain. I checked the next level, and they're both different.

That, I haven't checked. I'll have to see when I get an opportunity.

1) Did you make sure to start a new game before testing the pipe?

2) If all else fails, delete the pipe and make a new one. Some times LM skrews up and exits have to be re-made in order to work...

Maybe just try to move the pipe a little bit more to the middle part of the screen, or take a look at this:



This a a screen from the original SMW. See, what Nintendo did? The exit-enabled pipe is in screen 3, but they used screen 2 for the exit, too. (There is no exit-enabled pipe in screen 2, so why is the screen set up like this?) - You should try that.

In the one level I am making right now, if you go down the first pipe (currently unlinked to anything), it'll take you back to the entrance of the level from whence you came


Yeah, that happens quite often with unlinked pipes. It happens also very often that a unlinked pipe leads to a completely other level for whatever reason.

The game checks what screen Mario is on, not what screen the pipe/door/etc is on. So if you're right near a screen boundary, the game could use the exit from either screen. I was actually considering making this a sneaky secret in my game, until I realized how frusterating that would be to the player.

When you enter an unlinked exit, it takes you through the last exit you went through in that level. If you haven't been in any, you'll be dumped into the bonus game.

Thats what my experiences have shown me anyway.

Hey, thanks! I tried your solution and it worked. Also, thanks to those who gave me advice me troubleshoot the problem.

I'll be sure to remember this for later levels (as well as the advice others gave me) so I don't end up going wtf when something goes wrong.
