(Bumpty here 🐧) I've been kind of nervous about the reception for Tap Dancing Lessons, specially since it uses the dreaded SMB3 Nuts, not used with malicious intends (Level was made before seeing the Nonsense room), I just really think its a neat sprite! Seems like people didn't have much trouble with them, so I'm very happy! 18:37 Very funny-looking interaction, I did not knew that could happen! 22:13 Very sorry about that! That's the first time I've seen that happen actually! - PSI Ninja was in charge of making the castle-destruction cutscenes, originally Demo would appear carrying Tap-Tap's red nose, and while I do think that was better than the final one, maybe it was a bit too brutal hahaha. - Tap-Tap is my second favorite Yoshi's Island's enemy.
This one is a doussie. This was the 3rd level I did for the collab. Sui Glide in the earlier phase of development was a bit different, in lenght and name. Originally named "Sui Side", this was a combo of words from Sui, the creator of the original level, Sui Mario, Sui Luigi, etc, and the last part of the song "Moonside" swing from Earthboud (As at the time I was recording that easter egg from ASPE where the final Boo Boss is way harder, and the map the level it's located had the song in it), It had to be changed to Sui Glide to avoid the pun of well, Suicide. Length wise this level was shorter, namely the first part only, and then nothing, but again, people on the team felt it was short, so I went back to the source and made a section similar to that, and it ended being longer. The skeleton enemy had wrong graphics as in, It had the head of the AAT replacement but the SMW body, and asked to be left like that but it seems it got fixed somewhere later in development. The blocked path in the P-Balloon section is a shortcut. Reference wise: To Voltic Tower from ASPE Mario, I even wanted to use the same song from there but didn't had the txt for the song, so I searched for an alternative from the same creator, like I said at some point during the Nonsense LP, people have been doing references to ASPE lately and I'm guilty of that as well. Nice to see it wasn't that hard but longer, I feel like the rating was raised for the lenght and not the difficulty, but I don't really know
Iris comments to Demo: "I have to appreciate the chutzpah in naming places here. How much do you want to bet that this next stretch has no Sui or Gliding of any kind?" Demo predictably scoffs. "Not if you..." Then she contemplates the burgers. "YOU CURSED IT, IRIS." Iris just laughs in the distance, and notes: "I bet you that very immobile workshop will have the music for travelling in a boat. A flying boat even, just for kicks." Demo silently fumes in the background as she navigates the tap-dancing tap maze. "Iris, please stop jinxing this world." Iris makes a smug :3 face as Demo does housekeeping to a bunny theme. "AND FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE LEAVE THE TAP-TAPS!" "Hohohoho."
I would love to purchase an entire case of Tap Taps, what would their cubic weight cost be? Also seeing King Taps-o-lot outside the island being a large and in charge business tap makes me so happy for him.
When those blocks went through the big Tap-Tap...it sort of looked like it only checks for collision with the first throw block you activate, until that throw block despawns. So the phasing happened because there was still a block on the field. That'd be my guess.
(0:19) That says "Glide", not "Slide". (1:00) Zap. Those blinking \ / blocks are hazardous to your health. (1:15) I'm surprised you didn't get ascending glitched to death there. (2:25) The jump didn't jump. (2:33) Zap. First demo today. Somehow, you went from 3 HP to dead in just 8 seconds. (2:55) Wow, this one raocoin is giving you an unexpected amount of difficulty. (3:06) There you go. Got it cleanly that time. (3:33) You let your guard down, dood. (5:46) The blue ! blocks say "HI". And, the Forest Guardian says "hi" as well. :P (6:39) All raocoins get! (7:30) "P" (8:33) Dang, you were doing so well, but that ? block was placed just a tad too high for you to get that balloon after your previous one expired. (9:46) Yeah, it often bothers me to see the level continue when I feel it should've ended already, especially if there's no additional midpoint at the start of such a new section. (10:13) Darn it! Yeah, I call shenanigans. Bad form to extend the level further like this, with no additional checkpoint or power up, after that decent-sized ballooning section that came after already obtaining all five raocoins. At least there was a checkpoint right before the ballooning section, but why tack on this extra sublevel full of obstacles at this point? (10:21) Chipmunk time. (11:30) 💜 (11:33) Okay, the goal wasn't too far away, but at least give the player another power up following the balloon section, like maybe at the start of the room at 11:17 or so. (12:06) Tap Tap FTW. (12:18) Non-sprite tiles designed to be spin jump bounced off of. Neat. (12:59) Hey there, SMB3 screwy nutty bolt lift. How's it going? (13:37) More chipmunk time. (14:56) Blue ! blocks and RE door FTW. (15:44) LOL, bowling ball with a red nose on it. (16:05) That's neat, having to knock the Tap Taps into positions where they'll be useful. (16:41) Nuts. No safety net there. (18:37) Pfft... You can KO the bolt lift with an ice block? I wasn't expecting that. (18:40) And, the L+R reset method is basically a death, adding a demo to your counter. (18:49) Even more chipmunk time. (21:02) Oh, but the L+R reset preserves your collected raocoins, at least. (22:00) The tiny number platforms are cute. (22:15) No Tap Tap there? Maybe you're just supposed to bounce off the shell then, but why have a Tap Tap icon? (22:37) Oh, now the Tap Tap shows up! Yeah, I call shenanigans on that one. Why didn't he appear the first time? (22:45) All raocoins get! (23:12) Alright, it's boss time, vs. a big Tap Tap the Red Nose! (23:34) It's nice that there's a shortcut door back to the boss, but really, no power ups? (23:43) Oh, there's a radish, that you overlooked last time. (23:52) Ascending glitch shenanigans. (24:16) Wow, he can jump far. You're probably supposed to knock him into the pit with an ice block. (24:59) Start of the winning boss fight. (25:09) Weird how a couple of ice blocks went right through him with no effect there. (25:29) Victory! (25:40) This game is now part of Wings of Vi. :P (26:27) Finally found the big green ! button!
Sui Glide is a pretty nice level. I don't vibe with most of Big Brawler's levels, but this one is good. Tap tap zone is beautiful but I hate the nut platforms. I thought they were way too tight ... although seeing this, that's probably emulation lag's fault. Guess I really should look into another emulator at some point.
And suddenly, a marathon level. Don't like it, here's a burger with a lot of cabbage... but you're still have to go through. Also, pets are pets, they don't need to be helpful just be cute and likeable or sociable though a sociable Tap Tap, might pose an issue, they are cute, I guess...
Does anyone know which arrange of interdimensional voyage of a ghostly passenger ship is used in Tap Dancing Lessons In The Workshop 18:09 amongus........
Sui Glide[ 7 | RC7 ]: This old-school level looks really good, that's surprising! So in the -P- burger section, there's an alternate path blocked by the blue ! blocks, but only the entrance not the exit! Because of my curiousity, I did go though this alternate path, but backwards, garanteed +1 demo! Yeah the exit should be blocked as well. Otherwise pretty fun level! Tap Dancing Lessons In The Workshop[ 7 | RC6 ]: AAT has a lot of level I really like, this one is *my most favorite I love it!* 🤍🤍🤍(factory color) Oh yeah those nuts, they're still jank, I managed to have spinjump state from one of it and not getting the jump! Also, why does the reset counts as a demo?? Seems like a oversight since there's no fast retry... But yeah, I love the music, the aesthetics, the puzzles, the tap-taps, the boss even! A delightful level I love to replay! Amazing job Bumpty! Tomorrow, ca$ino then that tower👀
