alright yeah i've decided, b3313 thread is a go
i'll be chronicling my experience in this thread and also occasionally throwing in doodles to make it less boring lol
this thread will be very video-heavy!
(this img was heinously high effort for a post like 3 people r gonna see LMAO
tracing the castle for the blur was hell)
to assist me on my journey i've got this handy dandy star counter (program by aglab2, layout by bidkiponabus from chrisbrutalagresion's discord)
look at all of those fuckin stars man. and i'm willing to bet a good chunk of them are unobtainable lmao
they took away my long jump!! heresy!!!!
the tunnel behind the castle doesn't work anymore :(((
this door (also behind the castle) is new... i think this used to be either a wall or a bottomless pit this way.
wonder what's behind it
the back door of the castle is locked, too... that's new
fun fact! turtles become coins when you beat them up!
the bowser 1 trapdoor hallway was at the back of the castle lobby, so i went in and beat him up. wonder why the star is red...
there's an invisible hitbox behind the star lol
oh hey i can long jump now
looks like the red stars unlock stuff??
wait i have an idea hang on
ok my hunch was right!!! the red stars are a pass to Peep The Horrors
oh right the power star that sends you to hell how could i forget
oh wow they replaced the slide kick. it's a weird buttslide flip now.
void hallway is over, time to check the door at the back now
IT'S ANOTHER CASTLE????
i don't know why i was so shocked
"it's another castle???" has been the b3313 experience since the older versions lmao
where the fuck did i end up this time
wow look guys!!!! peaches castle!!
[a big flashing sign that says "APPLAUSE" drops down into view]
entered a new room and my HUD changed??? huh??????
free my man toad
whoever's doin the music for b3313 deserves a shout. who arranged this castle theme i GOTTA know
edit: i found the song!!!!

wow! a peach painting and a pipe! those are always trustworthy in b3313!
wait it WAS trustworthy. that's. interesting.
i can go outside??? and get a path leading me straight to the uncaring void??? hell yeah i'm in
update: i died
i did make a savestate though, death is meaningless :3
going back to the starry purple castle now, i like that place
first actual level of the run... this place is cool looking
too bad it's got that damn yoshi's island underground theme like half the levels in the old version LMAO
to its credit though, the song IS rearranged a good bit in this version of the hack
JUMP FLIP PLATFORMS???? HUH??
[fandub eggman voice] i'm back in the fucking building again
for context, that's the hallway that a good chunk of the stars will send you to in b3313. most of them don't have warps pointing back to their respective level entrances (which is veeeeery annoying, to say the least)
also, i grabbed two stars from that level and only one counted. yippee
gonna pause the logging for a bit since ive been playing for close to an hour now (and found literally one star LMAO)
maybe i'll scroll the b3313 wiki in the meantime. it might be considered cheating but this game is a goddamn maze anyway lol
