version 5 is the game's most polished form. however, like many of my other projects, i never finished it. it's only got up to Angelica's level. the project was abandoned in february 2018.
new title screen.
many smb3 elements and colors
return of the true blue map
lots of custom music changes
bonus room has returned
new gimmicks keep the game interesting, like berry weeds
berries can be pulled from the ground and thrown at enemies
message boxes keep the story moving
new moves, such as ground pounding and wall-kicking
hints on how to beat each boss
angry bunny does turn around correctly
but why do i sound so archaic?
nicer pastry land layout
still kind of regret making Lynette a redhead in this game
gradient background colors
gorgeous transparent cave
i can't take this stuff seriously
love this gimmick
revamped boss arena for Karla
i took my time with these visuals
yoshi breaking the fourth wall
the reserve item can be instantly applied with the select button
return of the smb3 tail
many of these areas remain faithful to the original game
desperately trying to keep the story together throughout this
way better design than the original game
antivirus attack area
that new Eileen boss really ties it together
i love this layout too
these message boxes become boring really quick
like, they're starting to get annoying
the obnoxious puzzle from the original, but toned down
Carlos' boss arena
angie's area was one of the last ones i edited
it's heavily inspired by kirby 64
the puzzles here are pretty clever
but some areas in here, like many others in this game, are full of NASTY slowdown.
the background disappears because of this message box... might wanna look into that.
Angie's boss is pretty broken... i guess that's why i gave up on the project.
i love this version of the game. it's much more refreshing to play this one than the original. the only thing keeping this from being a great game is the fact that it's incomplete and has to be completely redone from scratch, since most of the tools that were used in 2018 got updated by 2019. oh well.
