That first lakitu is supposed to be killed, it's how you get the SMWC coin

But yeah, I could add some more enemies there I guess, and probably look into fixing those other problems. I decided I'll upload it without waterfall/lavafall graphics cause no-one's taken those up for submission when I get home.

EDIT: Did I say when I get home? I meant this weekend. Lots of Japanese class homework... daibenkyousuru ;_;

--------------------

DID I SAY LAST WEEKEND? I MEANT RIGHT NOW.

Yeah. There. mwl files should be all I have for this. I didn't draw anything new specifically for this level.

--------------------

For the ceiling we can just throw on that ceiling generator sprite right? Part of the magic of lakitu is being able to fly everywhere

As for the hammer bro... Not sure what to do about that. It's kinda a good introduction for him, and it stands as a simple challenge for the early game, so I'd rather not get rid of him.

I also notice lava splashes are messed up. Is there any way to fix, bar changing the tileset completely?

--------------------

So I'm going through the level to fix it up, and I'm curious about some changes to it that seem to have been made in the baserom, that I don't really remember being there. I'd like to confirm when these changes were made before I begin editing the level.



These clouds were put here, and the few red koopa troopas on the platform below were removed. In the original, you're supposed to reach this smwc coin by using the shells and stealing lakitu's cloud. I'd like to know why this change was made, rather than lowering the coin, which feels more intuitive to me.



Originally, there was a brown platform here, along with a message block warning the player to "look, but not touch" the lava. The brown platform would've kept the player safe as they went for the smwc coin. Riding lakitu's cloud to get it feels way less safe for world 1.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the baserom update where this was changed.. However, I'm going to remove the throw blocks and replace the koopas. The turn blocks messed up my momentum through the level.



This one is more baffling than anything. In SNN's playthrough the hammer brother is still here, but he's already gone. I was going to fix up the area so it was a bit less cramped to deal with (Removing the waterfalls, making the player safer from lakitu.) Was there a change made between versions or something?

Just wanna clarify things before I go restoring or changing things other people corrected.
