SMBX Custom Level: Blue Blazing Bastion

[@almondjoy4938]

What I do like is that the boss uses the same mechanic of jumping through lava as its minions throughout the level. Nice touch.

Thanks so much! I wanted to make it feel like a real giant Podoboo by jumping and falling through the lava. :)

No problem. ;-) 👌🏽

While it's a shame the boss couldn't be more elaborate, atleast the level made up for it. The real challenge of this stage is to get through the Bastion itself, rather than defeating the boss.

Thanks so much. Yes, exactly. It’s one of those “hard level, easy boss” type levels. :)
I agree, though; I really wanted to make the boss longer with more phases (like making it leap horizontally across the arena), but I sadly ran out of Layers and Events lol.
I’m thinking I may make the boss a separate level by making the boss door the exit out of this level and the entrance to the separate boss level, if that makes sense? :)

That is actually exactly what I think you should do. You probably should do it for almost every complex boss so that you will have as many events as possible.

Thanks so much for the great suggestion!
I may even have make an updated version of the boss of this level. :)
