Nice to see you back, hope you enjoyed your time away and took care of whatever was needed, whether it was an extended vacation, or a personal emergency, or family or others that needed to be addressed

[@LevelUPAnimations]

Thanks DannyB, I'm definitely back now. I've been itching to make another giant maze video, but there's been a ton of fan made ones popping up everywhere. While it's cool to see others inspired by my work it's disappointing when those animators don't credit me for being the original series creator, and some even use my custom sprites without crediting me.

Man, these episodes take so long to get made, but every time they do it's always worth it. Not only that, but each one expands the mechanics of the world this takes place in. For example, this was the first time Mario's ever used a powerup in the episode based videos (outside of the 1-up mushroom). It's also now canonical that popping a balloon in this universe sounds like the Bloons TD pop sound clip, which is a more satisfying than serious note.
