SMW challenge by nathanisbored: Enter Larry's Castle with any non-cape power ups I want. In the first half, don't activate the moving blocks at the start in any way until two Yoshi Coins are collected. Then, grab the remaining Yoshi Coins, but don't hit the midway gate. In the second half, destroy all of the turn blocks in the bridge near the end, then defeat Larry before time runs out.

Wow. Even just starting this challenge is really tough! The very first jump that must be made is nearly pixel-perfect, and Mario's jumping height and distance at max speed can vary, so it's a bit of a luck-based jump. Also, since Mario's landing on a spike, entering with a power up is necessary.

After that comes a whole bunch of tricky jumps off of Ball 'n' Chains, and I must make sure to watch out for brown blocks until I get the second Yoshi Coin, because landing on any brown block will activate the moving blocks at the start. After getting the second Yoshi Coin, the rest of the first half is fairly easy, but since the timer could be an issue later, I decide to pull off a tricky time-saving move to clear the room faster. Destroying the entire turn block bridge in the second half is a tricky feat as well, and I have to make sure not to lose all my power ups before then (since I can't break turn blocks while small).

That first jump was incredibly tough, and destroying the turn block bridge at the end was tough. Also, the Ball 'n' Chain hopping was tough. Pretty much this whole thing was really tough!
Creativity: 8.5 (Very good!)
Difficulty: 9.5 (Insert really tough synonym here.)
I look forward to the next challenge!
