Course Code: D4M-JGX-F0G
This was the last Lava Bubble clear condition course of 2020! I choose to do this one after that cruel lava crate one because this one seemed good at first glance.. and I was mostly right!
This is a challenging SMB1 platformer course that has a really nice flow in its two sections: the moving platforms feel great to nail while the pow section and P-switch jump sections are nice "micro-breaks" from the action (waiting for the 2nd P-Switch bounce lines up with the skull platform much more nicely, not sure how they could have made it work with the 1st bounce...)
The 2nd section is still based around rising poison but a different take: more like a vertical speed run course, but not the mindless kind, one where you gotta think a bit, so it was fun to grind! However I can't help but feel like it felt like it was from a totally different course!
Really the only glaring flaw to me was the last section, ironically the part about clearing out the Lava Bubbles... it's a total pace killer in comparison, and as you can see, there was some jank where I had to renter the pipe because two of the winged lava bubbles despawned! It wasn't a bad section by any means, but it was a weird end to an otherwise fun and solid course.
Still, I can't complain too much, this course was a fun little grind overall, and that's waaaaay better than I usually expect from doing Team 0% stuff!
