Mushroom Way
Sunshine Valley

As a reward for making it through the rapture, have a mario! I explain the idea behind this project in the intro, so there is no need to repeat myself here, I reckon. HOWEVER, I do wonder why the youtube 'suggested tags' include 'dog' and 'animal'.

Mushroom Heights
Stargate
Toad's House
Deep Sea Adventure

This game reminds me a little bit of asmt in that even at the start, the game expects the player to, well, know how to play, and doesn't pull any punches while still being in the realm of 'easy'. That... that whole statement makes very little sense, but is the best way to mean what I want!

Underground Caverns
Larry's Castle
Return to Yoshi's Island
The Village

These games, they like giving you those hyper-powerful powerups pretty easily it seems, sometimes. And why are the youtube suggested tags include 'iron maiden' ?

Larry's Castle
The Village
Big Boo Mansion
Super Secret Area
Pipe Panic

It's a funtastic rerun adventure, at least until we do two oddly very short levels afterwards.

The Canyons (MB)
Coin Bonus Stage
Some Cave Level
Dead Castle

Doesn't quite carry the momemtum of the first world I feel, but I guess we'll see where world three leads us.

Koopa Troopa Beach
Island Ghost House
Seaside Tank Invasion

Don't worry, y'all. Though i was a little ill when I filmed this, when I woke up this morning I felt as fine as a whistle. So, ah, hurray!

Also, levels.

The Secret Island
Blooper Ocean
Tanks of Fury
Bowser's Throwback Castle

that sure was a difficulty worthy of 'skip the whole game', I tell you.

Dry Dry Desert
Gelato
Deep Dark Waters

man, this video made it really easy to name. Since contradictions cancel each other out, and all that!

The Pyramid (MB)
Boomerang Bro Bonus
Bullet Bill Bonus

World 4 is a land of confusing linear detours.

High in the Sky
Mushrooms in the Sky
House in the Sky
One Chance House

I get this sneaking suspicion that this world has a sky theme, like if the levels where in the sky. I dunno.
NOTE: people interested in the axmt project, or 'smbx - asmt conversion' dealio, Terry started a thread about this here: http://talkhaus.raocow.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2384 Go there already!!

Sawmill Skies
Sky Throwback
Nimbus Castle

suddenly, the difficulty curve found the elevator. Mind you, maybe it's not that bad, but I was taken by surprise by the sudden jump? In any case, this is why the video is so short - this tends to happen when you excise a portion where I went from 25 lives to bellow zero!

Snow Fortress
Hammer Time
Ice Cave of Water
The Format C World (found Gary!!)
lemmy's Castle of Ice

Ah man, because of that weird recording problem I have with this engin, both times we don't see my KICKIN' RAD 'jump on the skeleton over the spikes' thing. Pff.

Tanks!
Lava Bonus

Is Bowser's line a reference to something that sailed way above my head?

Also, what is love? And what does it got to do with it?

... welp!

I'm not sure what happened there. Sebby tried to help me out but his fix didn't, ah, fix anything. So...

I might play another mario game in the meanwhile, as a stopgap as I work this out, unless by some miracle I get a magical fix between now and recording time for tomorrow!

With that said, this is such a glorious trainwreck I felt I simply just could not edit anything down here. At all.

Oh, here's the request thread I mentioned

Lava Skies
Ludwig's Airships of Doom

I don't know what's with this particular game series and editing. I really wanted to chipmunk that partwith Lava Skies but nope! My usual editing process just wouldn't let me, if I did the final result wouldn't 'unchipmunk' even if it did in the editor itself.

Pretty weird!

The Small Fortress Maze
The Great King

The the the. It's always about the the.

Also, it's funny how when the text is presented this way, I just flat out don't think about doing the peach and bowser voices. Oh well!

Stargate
Special 1 - Classic Kingdom
Special 2 - Forest Throwback (MB)
Special 3 - Big Fish Sea (MB)

Get ready for specials! In a sense, I always like 'special worlds' because you never know what to expect... alas this special world has a very present pattern that makes it a bit more predictable in what we will encounter. Oh well!

Special 4 - Fire Desert
Special 5 - Hammers and Tanooki Sui
Special 6 - Fire Flower Battle
Special 7 - The Lava Prize
The Final End

I've already said my impressions in the past, so I won't repeat myself. I will say that I think this video speaks as a good summary of the whole thing, however. I will say, though, it was nice to explore a classic of the smbx episodes! Next time I'll play something a little bit more modern... but not yet. I think that, honestly, it's time for us to return home!
