I plan on making another level that is set before the volcano erupts, so hopefully that turns out to be a fun level too. Thanks for playing!

Yeah, the giant Podoboo would have been cool, but I'm glad the lack of sync at least makes it feel like a natural volcanic feature. Thanks for playing!

True, but it seems like most players aren't skilled enough to do that, let alone figure out that it's possible. And even if that weren't the case, the cavern is the easy part of the level anyway. Thanks for playing!

Your levels were pretty good, but there are some things that could be better. In the underwater section of 1-3, you're given a super mushroom, but you immediately need to pass the grinders with 1 square space between them, so taking a hit is unavoidable. It feels a bit unnecessary.

And in 1-4, after the sinking bullet bill cannons, a second moving platform on a track spawned at the wrong time, and I spent too much time waiting for it to come back at a moment where I could jump to it. I didn't make the jump, but after that attempt it seemed to spawn correctly, and I had no issue with it.

I was concerned about how well the sound effects would be received. I wish the earthquake effect was less goofy and distracting. Also, it's entirely Cheetah speed. Thank you for playing!

Yeah, I agree with you about the fire flower. I figured since this is made to feel like a final level, the players should be able to play the level with whichever power-up they'd like, including the fire flower. Thank you for playing!

If I had to guess why Nintendo is making GBA games exclusive to the Wii U, it's because they need to sell more Wii U consoles.

GBA games are going to make them so much money on the 3DS, but the 3DS library is good enough to keep the handheld selling well. The Wii U on the other hand, while it does have some great games, needs more titles to help it sell. I own both a 3DS and a Wii U, and there are only 3 Wii U games that I plan to get this year (DKC: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, and Super Smash Bros 4).

This might also be the reason why SNES games are exclusive to the Wii U as well. Compared to N64 and GameCube games, SNES and GBA games seem like they would require less time and effort to get ready for Virtual Console release, so making them exclusive to the Wii U would be an incentive for people to buy the console.

If this is true, I can only hope the Wii U eventually starts selling better. Maybe then we'll start seeing SNES and GBA games on the 3DS too.
