[@128Gigabytes]

whats the level select patch do

[@kylre]

Uhhm I was wondering if the level would work normally if you went above the castle level, mainly 6-4. I mean, you wouldn't be able to hit the axe or kill bowser right?

[@themightyripples6582]

I think the screen stops scrolling when you get to bowsers room, so I doubt it would work, but I also think itd be worth a try.

[@Sightnado]

i think the level transitions are changed from being based on touching an object to reaching a certain x position, and the game doesn't stop scrolling at the end of a level, so theoretically you could just walk right over 6-4

[@UnknownJoe796]

Mod author here; you could totally go over top. I didn't think about that. When the level runs out of data to load, the counter increments, so you totally could go above.

This makes me picture a romhack that's the entire game essentially on one level and you just have to see how far you can get. Warps still work as usual (will take you to the beginning of a level's section), so speedrunners can easily beat the whole game before time runs out, but the warpless challenge is seeing how far you can go.

I do suspect that a cutsceneless SMB2 USA wouldn't be too hard for someone--like just hijack the bird mouth animation and jump the game to the next level.
