Wooden Box Terror [v2] (Minigame)

The text tileset is required!!

My first level :)

•Collect 21 coins in 150 seconds.
•Fight against most members of the Koopa Boss family in one big room.
•You must adapt fast to your surroundings, as the "environment" changes rapidly!!
•Enemies will chase Mario sedulous from top to bottom, left to right.
•Spiky Ball is your friend (and foe at times).
•And yeah: it's all about wooden boxes (plenty of them).

Multiplayer: not recommended

Note: Coin placement is fair (not behind clouds), but the environment is not.
Note: There are sometimes slowdowns due to a huge amount of boxes on screen (or if Wendy Koopa goes crazy)

Difficulty: pretty heavy. I finished the level twice out of 25 tries (starting as small Mario) with 5 respectively 6 seconds left. So pack some lives. Try first to locate all the coins before you try the whole chase, and also remember those "bad coins" that trigger enemies. Avoid them as long as possible.

Thx Treeki/Tempus and FuSoYa

Edit: It'd be great if somebody could upload some in-game screen shots or a video from a successful run.

Updated at 6:28:26 pm, 16 Apr 2010: v2 Changes: •Added '300 seconds' mode (from flagpole) •Changed/Added a few sprites •Changed enemy placement •Added layer0/layer2 stuff •Reduced slowdown •Some layout changes Edit: An exit does exist! :) Bugs: •It might happen that Mario collects a coin without triggering the location, or touch a location without collecting the coin (more likely but not a problem). If the first happens (and that is very rare) it is almost impossible to finish the level due to not being able to find the still inactive location. I increased location size to prevent this. The reason why this happens: Mario sometimes gets pushed upwards very fast through a location, so fast that he does not activate it but only collects the coin. •Upper-right area might get blocked by boxes. Use the tasty Glow Block to destroy those boxes (matters only if you are small). Hope You guys enjoy!! :)

Aw man, I would have gladly made a video for you. In fact, I was prepared to upload custom NSMBWii level videos to my Youtube account, but I don't have "good" internet atm.

That said, I haven't played this level, but I hope to soon.

Guahhhh! The bugginess!! XD I admit, I do like the level, but there's a lot of enemies that just don't work too well once they go off screen. It makes big open rooms like this a challenge to design without them coming out really lame.

I got lucky one run and Wendy died fairly far up which killed a lot of the middle-of-the-room enemies. Poof, they vanished. Lost to the timer, though, because of the annoying penguins.

You sbould give more time to finish this, the overall level is fun, but so little time ruins it

Nice minigame, too hard but don't know if this has an exit or not. I recorded a video of this level for you if wanna take a look at it.

Thanks SAS25 for the great video!! I'm still trying to figure out FRAPS and Growler (speed issues).

@morenoingrato: Your wish is my command. Now you can choose between hard and very hard. :)

My brother made a video, but in-game sound is missing. Pretty crazy video nonetheless.

@jords123: It works for others, so I think the problem might be on your end. Hope you can somehow resolve it.

@Alexs: I wanted it to be random, hence all those box generators.
@jords and others: thanks :)

I agree with Alexs, not a very good design.
