I have tried it now; I beat him with fireballs (which I also discovered are able top stop his projective attack). I take it the stronger projectiles like hammers will do him in faster?
I'll start a new file soon. Should be fun to see all the new stuff.
I literally passed through the warp pipe as though it was not there, like the fake warp pipes in the switch palaces.
I'd REALLY appreciate it if you could tell me; I'm sorry, but I just cannot find I'm supposed to look.
I noticed on your site the WWWOTW section mentions 'big' changes to the 2nd and 3rd bosses. Are they getting new attacks and appearances as well, or are they just becoming vulnerable to projectiles?

The new update is very good.
The old version of the first boss admittedly wasn't great; the walking and rolling attacks were basically the same and it felt kinda boring. The new version is a definite imprisonment and it actually posed a challenge. Also, I found a small glitch. You mentioned you removed the 'exploit' that lets the player jump it 3 times in a row? Well I managed to do that while in thwomp/weight form. Given the pink shell is so rare to most players this may not be a problem, but I'm just letting you know.
The new map is awesome; it's very nice to look at.
Also; in the room right before Mario is battled in 5-3 (the one with the boss door) I was able to jump against the warp pipe that led from the shortcut and pass through it. Is that intention due to the 'alernate first form' secret you mentioned, or is it a mild glitch?
I've also found a rather big problem. When I zap an enemy with the yellow shell I am unable to pick up the coin they leave behind; shy guy just passes through them.
Also, I found what I presume to be the location of the secret permanent power up in the desert world. Sadly I can't do anything in there since I need Space Jump for it, which I have not yet found. Speaking of which...
I've looked EVERYWHERE for the secret powers in world 1. I just honestly can't find them no matter how hard I look or what power-ups I use or how outside the box I think. Could you please tell me where they are in a PM. I'm 100% certain I'll never find them otherwise.
Also, will level 5-4 be in the next update?

Thanks.
Yeah, that boss was kinda slow, part of the reason I kept that exploit in is that he was pretty boring ro fight a second time. Not sure if I'll remove that feature, as it rewards experimentation. Maybe I'll just make it look less like a glitch. Or perhaps it will just kill him in one hit. Anyway, I think that boss is just plain better now, his animations ar more dynamic, and the fight flows better. Have you tried hitting him with projectiles?
Awesome. I hope it was woth the effort. Did you try a new file to see the animations?
When you say you passed through it do you mean like a warp pipe, or as a glitchy type movement? It has nothing to do with the alternate boss form.
I know exactly what's causing that. I'll fix it for the next update. It's a side effect of one of my lag-reducing measures.
Woo! Persevere!
I could tell you exactly where they are, or I could tell you there are alternate locations for them. One in World 2, and another in World 3. Look for places that are different or new.
No. Next update will probably just be fixing the coins and making all the bosses vulnerable to projectiles. I want to save making that boss for last, as it's the more creative enjoyable part. I have a lot to slog through before then. (Though, technically 5-4 is in the game now, it's just an empty room)
