So yet again I am posting a thread for Super Mario Zeal and C3 kinda caught me by surprise this year. I am kind of in the midst of making a new level, also World 4 of Super Mario Zeal is almost complete, and I have made slow but noticeable progress in world 5 and 6.
But enough talk, have at you!

..and finally for the convenience of the expo goers, a brief guide on how to install Super Mario Zeal in SMBX since some people have had trouble with it in the past.
1. Download and Install SMBX2 from here: https://codehaus.wohlsoft.ru/downloads.php?
2. Download Super Mario Zeal and directly unzip it in the worlds directory in SMBX2 root directory. It should ideally look like this:
3. Launch SMBX2, what you're looking for is the red mushroom icon in the folder right here:
4. Open the Episode selector, select Super Mario Zeal and you're good to go!
I hope this year's C3 will be a good one and thank you for supporting this project for over four years now.
