Super Mario Classic Return!, It's here.

Look who I quoted as***

WTF why aren't you banned (again) yet?

Are you using rectangular collision masks? I don't expect the shape of sprites would matter if you did that.

*points to warn log*

Class-y.

Read my message again, or should I highlight what I mean?

Be careful when you're calling someone "ass****", if you don't want to make yourself look as one

Edit: Anyway, and staying on topic, I tested this thing out. While the concept of adding a certain sense of depth to the game is good, how you used the tiles kinda ruins it. The level seems way too flat, and lacking of details. I suggest you go on adding random flora, it always makes game liver. You also need to add a decent background, gradients are the worst enemy of the graphical aspect of a game.

Anyway, and leaving the graphical part, the engine seems somewhat solid overall, but you need to use collision rects instead of the sprite as seems you're using right now. I got stuck within the floor and some other places at least four times. If you need or want to take a look to a simple collision rect-based platform engine, just check this one out.

Also, the teleport beam of sorts is heck difficult to use and control, maybe if it was slower it could be easier :e

Fix these things and it'll look and play way better. Keep up the good work

Just ignore what "Arret" said, The Damizean. He's a duplicate account of a banned member who came back here just to troll.

That's some good critique. It seems the light beam isue of going too fast is prominent, so I fixed that, he goes a little slower, I find it much easier now. The insane hairpin in level 3 is possible even with Mario now.

Random flora, simple. I ripped the tiles from another map someone had on TSR (of course I'll give him credit) and I did rip a few flowers, so I'll put those in.

I changed the Mario graphics to the SS style and I find it much less buggy. Smaller, yes, but less buggy.

I figured out what was screwing you when you tried jumping on Koopas: I often make the player's origin the bottom of the sprite, because then it's easier to change the sprites: I just need to change the origin. Anyway, the Koopa Troopa's origin was the very tip-top of the sprite... including the transparency area. So it was very likely for the y of the Koopa to be less than Mario's (bad thing). So I just fixed the Koopa's origin.

I made the boss a little slower and he doesn't jump quite as high, and increased Mario's jump height.

You can expect to see the full spectrum of changes in the World 2 demo.

Please see the first post for the updated demo and what's new. This is the final demo before the full release.

The controls and level design are great, however, the twinkles are too hard to ride on. Slowing it down by a bit would help.

Argh, I slowed them down from last time, too. I don't find them all that fast, personally.

And thanks for the level design comment, I myself don't think I'm that good at it.

Updated the update section. I'll regularly do this to keep you posted on my progress so you don't have to ask (as if you were anyway).

Updated the update section. It's been a while! I'll try to update more regularly.

The link to final demo doesn't work. It just says "Sorry, the file you requested is not available."

Demo is attatched to post now.

I can download this game now.
In the first boss battle, the boss can leaves of the screen and it can disappears.

I've noticed this too. And I don't know how it happens. I've set up three rows of blocks that should turn him away, but they sometimes work and sometimes don't. I don't know what to say. It's beyond me. But I'm trying to fix them as best I can.

your head gets stuck in the blocks.
also can you please state what the powerups do
its very hard to ride on those clouds things...

Head Stuck: Never experienced that.

Powerups: The list is in the Game Info (f1) but fine, I'll post them:

Mushroom: Recovers 2 HP

Dark Shroom: Makes Mario Dark Mario. Is faster and jumps higher, but takes double-damage and can't use light beams.

Metal Cap: Makes Mario Metal Mario. Rides light beams slower, but gravity affects him more and can fall through Brick Blocks.

Luigi Cap: Makes Mario Luigi Mario. Rides light beams like in the original SMC, and jumps higher, but is floatier and slower.

Fire Flower: Makes Mario Fire Mario. Can shoot fireballs, but when hit, reverts to Super Mario instead of taking damage.

Star: Makes Mario Super Mario. Invincible, instant acceleration, and higher jumps.

Cloud Things: I have no idea what you're talking about, dear sir.

He means the light beams, I think.

Well, the light beams are nice, But i would make other controls inside it, so that you go left if you press left, go up if you press up, and not a racer-lice control, or let mario ride the lightbeams automatically, and you should be able to save the game, otherwise we had to restart the game over and over.
EDIT:sometimesshadowmario runs out of the screen and don´t get back
