Thrill & Skills Part 1: The Easy, the Hard and the Mario (2000 years later...)

Kaizo

2015 C3 thread (demo 1 contain 2 first levels)

Belong with the cancel of "Another hack that make Mario die" is another kaizo hack! This time, the level is not as hard as the previous one, but some of them will be annoying. Also, I try to make this hack vanilla this time, nothing (except custom music) will be inserted (I don't want this hack end in the way the previous hack does). Enjoy anyway!
- Story:

- Length: about 8-10 levels, each level is 5-10mins long.
Screenshot is scattered around the thread.

You should leave this test, I did that as well made earlier and that spoils the surprise a joy and you want so all with the level.
Otherwise, the screenshots look good
Name sounds similar to Mario Must Die, but it is fine as long as you do not copy it completely.
The hack itself looks decent, although after hitting that invisible note block and getting the mushroom you could just stand on those, rendering the torpedo obstacle useless. The second room has a nice puzzle with the torpedos.

Looking forward for more from this hack!

If you stand on the invisible note block, how can you get into the pipe to the right?

What did I meant is that you could stand on those blocks without needing to try avoiding the torpedo while hopping on the disco shell.

this looks really interesting. I like the idea of having Torpedo Teds as a main subject for a level.

My YouTube username is DTE225.
The beginning of the level looks much better now.

Your latest screenshots look interesting (although that shell juggling trick on the last screenshot is a bit overused but w/e, no need to remove that torpedo bit). Be sure to not just focus on them, but on dolphins as well, because the level can lag a lot with many torpedos in the same screen. Just a suggestion.

The beginning of stage 3 - "Watch n' Wait". Can you find the solution?
PS: This section has more than 2 rooms, so you can scroll the screen to the right.

A little update to the first room of stage 3 to make it a little easier & prevent a big break.



Also, I might post some other screen & record a test of this stage tomorrow.
Are those red blocks hurtable or the default switch block, BTW?

I like how the level's coming out so far. I don't really know what am I supposed to do judging by that LM screenshot, but guess I'll wait for more screens/a video to come out.

Yes, yes they are.

Anyway:
Stage 3 Test 1!

This is my second attemp at level 1 because the first one was too easy. And I renamed this stage "Ripley's Revenge".

Because beating this stage will be a Ripey's Believe it or Not! fact?

I used Ripley as a private name of a villian. So, I should change this so everyone won't get confused, right?

Why would you need to?


Because Bowser will hire a lot of villian in this hack.
I changed my mind now. Beside Bowser, there will be only one villain.
Also, I will save the water level for later part of this hack, since it's turned out very difficult now.

Anyway, New stage 1 test. It's difficult to show the beginning of this level by screenshot, so I recorded a video instead. And can anyone suggest a custom music to be used in this level. The song from Eversion is kinda overused (IMO).
You got a download for this? I want to LP this.

Honestly, I thought that the water level was actually more better with the difficulty nerfed up a bit, but whatever, it's your hack and I have no rights to stop you from doing so.

It looks better. I like the creativity there, especially the last spiny bit. Regarding the music, maybe this would fit?
