[SMM2] Panga's Creativity Will NEVER Cease To Amaze Me - 3 Insane 3D World Levels by Panga

Here's three levels from Panga, a cat level, a builder level, and a shell level. All three are so fun and real creative considering the game is still this new. I really enjoyed the cat level. The cat suit is my favorite powerup in SMM2.

I'm glad you have a timer. If a level took you an hour to beat, I'd be willing to invest 3-4 hours into beating it. But if it takes you over 6 hours, I'm okay with never even attempting it

[@claudio-maker2943]

There are some exceptions tho, take for example the producers and the terminator, it took thab 12 and 39 minutes for beating them but for normal kaizo players like us it didn’t take too long than a hour and a half

[@niklyoshi842]

Thab: 4:32 Also Thab: 12:19 😆 GG's! Great work (:

[@TheOtisUpham]

Newcomer from mmc. You seemed so fuckin chill at that event that i had to subscribe. Loving your videos man. You're super skilled and your commentary is sultry smooth. Keep kicking ass.

[@thekaizobro9971]

I love how he reviewed the footage and even showed YT. Keep up the good work Beast!

[@stuart792]

What a creative levels ! Good game to Panga !! And you too for challenging it !

[@sidus1312]

Favorite drinking game: everytime thabeast says something like 'that's hard, so hard', take a shot

[@mylifeisaparty]

Sidus 1 in endless mode videos, take a shot every time he says “that’s... not good”

[@scottmwyman]

When he says "heck"

[@wewillwin24]

His mom says that more then he does

[@boydemfoot]

It’s Luigi in the cat suit. That’s why it’s green. 🤣

[@AtomicCrimson]

I want to point out that the level's names in the description are wrong. I don't know if the levels code are also wrong.

[@SomePerson_Online]

AtomicCrimson I mean, the video shows the code level and the title 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@AtomicCrimson]

Yeah, you're right but just saying because I never pay attention to the codes in the videos so I see them in the description. But anyway it's true so it's fine

[@feasible]

"Okay! Now we just have to do all four parts, all in a row, first try." [cut to over an hour later]

[@johnhopfensperger3843]

"Blind Look Kaizo Race"

[@kitthekat6844]

Let's be fair, the only reason we watch Thab is for the drawings at the end.

[@EAGeniUS]

1st level beaten @ 11:11, 2nd @ 24:34 & 3rd @ 37:59. Well, thank me later if I saved you some time. ;)

[@cloudycalcifer7799]

[@TheGauges420]

Why was the Panga level tagged Multiplayer Versus?!? Lmfao.

[@asymptoticspatula]

I like the long hair better. I'm sure you're style is based on random youtube comments. Nice video and that almost-flag-touch on the last level was insane!!!

[@luisbalbis7653]

[@parkourmaster20017]

Wow your good.

[@-amosc.presley-7192]

*Hi, there "Thabeast721" how are you today?*

[@svenweiland3322]

Now you just have to go back and save the piggies. How could they be not worth it?!

[@Grasuggan22]

and piggies actually sound like that

[@DannyBPlays]

24:10 why is thos troll okay in Panga levels but not in levels with unknown creators? That is truly awful

[@claudio-maker2943]

I don’t care of what people think on me, on my no powerup kaizo level I will put a mushroom hidden on a 1-up at the end

[@holden7117]

Because pengas levels are well designed. Has nothing to do with how known a creator is.

[@TheSquareOnes]

The short answer is that it's traditional for kaizo levels to have something unexpected kill you at the very end. The long answer is that it's a matter of expectations and implementation, basically the player has to have a reason to believe that you will troll them in some way and then the way you go about trolling them has to be done in a way that actually "works." Kaizo levels have a history of throwing in trolls (kaizo blocks aren't called that for no reason, for example) so the first is a gimme, but you can also prime player expectation in other ways such as clearly labeling level as a troll level or trolling them immediately (ideally with something more interesting than a falling thwomp or other cliche super expert garbage) so that they know what they're getting into. The second part is a bit more complicated and subjective but really just comes down to having a solid grasp of level design. Take kaizo blocks for example, a toddler might spam them haphazardly all over the place with no rhyme or reason and even do things like making you climb invisible ladders as a requirement to beat the levels. That is garbage and nobody will enjoy it. Experienced kaizo players and designers have an unwritten set of guidelines for where kaizo blocks are likely to show up however and they will generally stick to that tradition pretty closely, what this means is that the kaizo blocks are something that can be predicted and played around even when you haven't hit them yet. The player isn't just randomly dying but instead is able to correctly identify where invisible obstacles are most likely to be and then avoid them altogether. Most trolls can be evaluated in a similar manner. Falling enemies should be placed in a way that the player can see them coming and dodge, pick-a-whatever is inherently garbage because it's purely a guessing game, giant blind YOLO jumps being the correct answer are basically pick-a-whatever just with nothing even telling you that's what you're playing, etc. The end of level trolls work because you know they're coming, you know it's going to ask you to sprint for the goal, wait, dodge a projectile or do some other action and you know you're only going to have a moment to assess the situation so you get into the mindset in advance. It's not uncommon to decide what you're going to try before you even see the troll itself, for example many romhack players will use the "just run and pray" strategy on every level so that while they will probably die to several trolls they will also be guaranteed to avoid many others without having to risk dying to indecision each time. Finally the level itself has to actually be fun enough that the player doesn't mind occasionally dying to something stupid, which is something most "unknown" creators with trolls seem to forget. Before putting in any trolls you should focus on simply making a good level, make the platforming stand on its own and then add in the trolls to accentuate that rather than detract from it. If at any point you don't think a troll is very fun or fair, or that the level might be a chore to play again after you've almost cleared it, you shouldn't be putting in the troll. It's a very difficult tool to use well in level design and if it's consistently being negatively received in your levels then you're probably not ready to use it. Panga's levels are generally well designed (often janky and not very blind-friendly, but well designed), so that's the first step. He has loads of kaizo blocks but they're all in very easy to predict locations, he has a lot of falling garbage but it's usually telegraphed and serves the purpose of making the player move in more interesting ways rather than just randomly killing them (watch the cat level again for a ton of examples of this). All three end trolls here "work": the fireflowers at the end of Feline The Heat can be seen in advance via the "dev pipe" and are consistent with similar obstacles throughout the level, the thwomp you're upset about is well telegraphed due to the slow buildup of the pointless room before it and requires a reaction of a single button press, and the hill in the shell level just requires a very large jump to clear. Basically he does everything right and puts solid level design first, that's why he gets a pass.

[@claudio-maker2943]

It’s all personal interest Danny, people watch his streams on purpose for knowing trolls, that’s my opinion

[@matthewkim812]

u already failed the first level it says reach the goal as cat mario not cat luigi

[@scottmwyman]

Eventually someone could guess the code.

[@KnightToRemember]

description?

[@Dontworryaboutanything]

Not only do I avoid cat levels, I avoid all 3D. I just don’t find them fun.

[@M_y_s_tic]

First

[@ivan_pozdeev_u]

23:55 That troll is hot garbage. You have no way to anticipate that. Boo the level!

[@Enlil5]

Panga was overcomed by the spirit of barb at that moment

[@ivan_pozdeev_u]

@@Enlil5 Yeah, he's apparently been hanging up with Barb a little too much recently. But while he attempted to mimic Barb, he didn't quite grasp yet how to do that right!
