Current progress on the Dreadnought Level

[cheat-master30]

Since I'm making the whole thing with Mario World sprites now, I have the first three areas (the tank, submarine and first space section) now complete, and plan to complete the first outside dreadought section soon.

From last time:

Part 1; Tank

New:

Part 3; Outer Space

First things first. Those stars are graphics edited Munchers/Death Blocks/Spikes, and harm Mario if he touches them. This part of the level, taking up one level value includes:



The first area you have to get through rows of them on a rope while the screen scrolls.
Then bounce across spinies to get across steps made of stars.
Then P Balloon through the electric labyrinth (electricity, if possible kills the player in one hit)
Keep P Balloon flying up while avoiding the stars, Baseball throwing Chucks and Lava Lotuses.
Run through a maze of stars using invincibility/star power.
P Balloon through a minefield of stars and cannons.

Oh, and in some cases, the Bullet Bills are HOMING!

Boss Battle now done (may add another metal spike):

That has to even top Kaizo. You first have to go up to the right and hit the switch to make the blocks allowing you to reach the P switch solid, then go to the left and up to hit it to make the death blocks around the Reznors vanish and then get the coins to make them stay gone. While doing all this, there are multiple giant spiked poles smashing into the lava, about SIX Bullet Bill generators and well... there's no floor, so you're on freaking climbing nets for most of the battle. Difficult enough for world 7?

Any comments? I still need a general level design for the inside areas...

It doesn't look too bad. I'll try and comment on it later.

[cheat-master30]

Okay then, it needs some comments still.

Part 1 - I like the tank. Tight spaces will make it interesting to manuever with a scrolling screen. It could use some more enemies, but otherwise looks good.

Part 2 - I like the blocks' placement, but there definitely needs to be a big boost in difficulty. Lots more enemies and obstacles, for sure. Maybe even an extension to it, but just maybe.

Part 3 - If it were made out of munchers, I'd scream, "NO!" But the stars go well with the whole galaxy theme. It looks like you already have some obstacles down, and those could probably be extended into much longer and trickier sections. Those stars...will haunt many a player when that level is finished. I'm sure that either Kyle, wings, or I will see to that. And with the P-Balloons and what not...that section is going to be extremely annoying to the player. Looks like fun to make :)

Boss Battle - Yikes. That's brutal. I'm not sure if the blocks will show up in the boss battle, though. I've only been able to get sprites to appear when editing boss rooms. But, otherwise...that's almost TOO hard. But it'll be a heck of a boss battle.

Oh God... >_>

So who wants to build this?

You can supposedly place Reznor in a normal castle room, and if you put four, once defeated the level should end. And hey, it's world 7, it's meant to be brutal.

Oh God... >_>

That's not all of it yet. But it's world 7, it's a long way away.

Updated the Doomsub section. More difficult now?
