I had an idea to create a level in which to practice some harder platforming segments in a low-stress level: no enemies, no pits, no dying (except to the timer, unfortunately). Thus I have come up with the...
Advanced Platforming Tutorial
Code: 676A-0000-0049-171B
Style: NSMBU
This level covers 4 Mario platforming concepts, and is meant to be as straightforward and non-trolly as possible.
-Distance and precision jumping over gaps
-Wall-jumps
-Vertical platforming
-Single-block platforming (and note-blocks)
It is intended to be difficult, but allow for quick retries in the different sections, and includes a few hidden secrets for the exploring types. The only thing that can kill you in this level is the timer, which I would have disabled if I could. I would very much appreciate feedback on this level from people on how useful and interesting they find it as a tutorial. Is it too hard? Too easy? Too long? Is it clear what's intended? Is there anything else that could be included? Is this a worthwhile idea?
I'll definitely be looking at more GAF levels over the weekend as well. I am fully addicted to this game right now. As much as it is missing I still feel like there's so much to play with, it's exactly what I wanted.
