@hunkulese: If you can finish the level you can. It just requires you to do the extra bit as small mario from the check point, take the pipe that brings you to the beginning of the level and now do the level with less time than before.
I was thinking of a checkpoint that isn't a checkpoint.
When you reach the flag you get a mushroom. The real path forward is with this mushroom. A path for small mario, when you respawn at the checkpoint, would waste some time and then, bring you back to the beginning of the level. This makes the checkpoint useless.
So, combine both our ideas. 2 checkpoints in the level. It would be EVILLLLLL
Steam says I spent 84 hours playing the thing, but by the end I was completely sick of it and uninstalled before I finished the last couple of missions. I don't even know the full details of the "big twist" because I completely stopped caring and figured even knowing would probably annoy me further with how crappy all the explanations were. In terms of pure gameplay, it's maybe the most I've ever enjoyed a game, but because of how much I disliked just about everything else around it, I never want to play it again.
This.
It was great. So great at the beginning. When I got to chapter 2 I was over the moon. What? More story!?! It was ok for a while. Got a few story bits. Then, when I realized what was going on, I uninstalled, went to youtube and looked at the last few cinematics.
It's sad, they shipped a game that has the promise of a 2nd chapter but that has it mostly missing and hidden behind shitty convoluted mechanics.
For me, the game just died in chapter 2. I think The end of the chapter 1, with the teaser of chapter 2, was the most amazing moment in the game.
WHAT!? there's more? Just as amazing as before. I'm sure this is going go have an awesome ending.
But then missions just stopped coming fast. Repeated missions can go die in a bucket. I couldn't figure out how to check some new missions. I just youtubed it.
I'm sad. But also, that moment at the end of chapter 1, so great.
