Bowser's Airship

Bowser's Airship
Bowser's Airship is going to be a challenge, but I'm very sure you can find the shine sprite.

HINT: There is a second shine sprite in the airship. Just find the secrets to access it and you're ok.

Code: Select all

Sorry, I gotta give this 2 out of 5 stars because: It's not really that challenging. It's rather short, and having tons of enemies doesn't make a challenge, because the spin attack is more powerful than you'd expect. Try making more platforming challenges, those are what makes a challenge if done right, and not enemy spam.

Secondly, it's possible to just glide (again, using the spin attack) down to the secret shine sprite (since it's placed right under the starting position): Gliding to the wooden platforms, hitting the switch and then going for the secret shine sprite.

The intended way to get there isn't much better, while the secret pipe technique is always interesting (although it could use some hints on where it is), after that, there's another one of those unfair "pick the right pipe" sections. It's always bad design to let the player choose one out of three pipes, with no hints whatsoever as to which one leads to death. It would've been more fun if you used signs to hint at the right pipe, or make a quiz out of it. The FLUDD wasn't needed either.

At least the details such as the flipping platforms and the level's structure shows that you've put some effort into this, that's why I rated 2 stars instead of 1.
