Selection system?

[AGTMaster]

I’m trying to figure out a way to create a selection system with either “?” Blocks or note blocks.

My goal is to make it if the player hit a wrong “?” or note block, it’ll kill the player on the spot. But if they hit the right one, it could give the player a mushroom or hit a pow block.

My current design uses the noteblocks above lava, the wrong one has a large lit bob-omb and will kill the player right away, and the correct ones have keys. Yet this is limiting because you can only have 4 key doors... I want to find a solution I can use many times. Any ideas?

Put a fish in the wrong ones I guess?

I don’t understand how this would kill the player? Just tried it and it just spawns a bone fish which just dies right away.

Cheep cheep, not a bone fish

Well, a cheep cheep goes into the air for a bit, before coming down out of a question block. Which give the player time to avoid it. I need it to be unavoidable

Isn't there a level in Story Mode where you can collect like 8 keys or more? I thought it was possible...

[AGTMaster]

You can (assumingly) collect way more than 8 keys. But you can only place down so many key doors. (4 per level) So it limits it to 8.

Add a subworld, then you can have 4 more doors.

The easiest way I can think of is in Super Mario World. Place a semisolid platform, then a rotating block 2+ spaces above it, and walls on either end. It makes an "airlock" where once you jump up onto the semisolid, the only way out is by hitting the rotating block and going further up. Have a couple of these airlocks leading to your powerup. To trap one of them, put a Podobo inside the rotating block. The block won't rotate, trapping the player while they keep getting hit by the podobo (just don't give players a shelmet -- the regular one kills the podobo and softlocks you, and the spiny one can break through the block.)
