Do you mean because he could get stuck somewhere? Because I kinda like the fact he can be pushed around for some reasons. However I see how this could become an issue in some scenarios

Just saw the screenshot, wondering what's going on with teh Project M that appeared again all of a sudden on the most recent posts list.

And what I saw was liek EPIC. I'm loving this.
Yea, same here. I was actually thinking about fooling around with some super mario world spriting just for giggles.

Suggestion: Possibly make Yoshi so he can't be pushed around (this always bothered me about the GBA remake).
Oh, I've mostly played the GBA remake. I kind of like the pushing though. It just adds to the epicness.

Plus it makes your Mario game a bit different in some ways. Most people just do a clone of the first SMB. You did SMW and even added features from newer SM games.

Some new features:
  • Yoshi tongue collision detection greatly improved
  • Hitting enemies with fireballs now turns them into coins which can be picked up (or eaten by Yoshi)
  • Yoshi can eat coins from the tilemap

Wow nice! When eating coins from the tilemap does it lags?

Nope, not at all. It wasn't really a speed issue as much as me feeling too lazy to code it in. :P It's just one extra tile collision check per frame when Yoshi is sticking out his tongue (compared to a lot more checks than that for objects using full collision detection)

Aah I see ^^

Also would it be hard to add the ability to eat many coins at once, for example if you are pulling out your tongue while falling near a line of coins? It may not be as realistic, though.

Nah, Yoshi can only eat one thing at once. The reason is that collisions are only checked when the tongue is moving out from his mouth, and if something is hit, it is attached to his tongue and his tongue immediately starts going back in. I have a variable holding the location of the attached object, so it wouldn't be easy to attach multiple objects anyway.

The game is currently keeping track of score, yes. I'm not sure if I'm going to show it in the level or not. And the number in the upper right shows number of coins :)

you dont have to the show the show the score during the game, as i would see how the screen could get messy.  but it would be nice to have it when the lvl is over, sort of like SMW for the SNES. 

Also, will there be scores for everything, (ex. in SMW, 200 for killing an enemy (400 for koopas, as 200 for the shell, and 200 for the koopa itself), 100 for coins, destroying blocks, etc) ?

btw: the yoshi is awesome!  XD

What about letting the player toggle on/off the score?

Would displaying the score impact the game speed?

Ehh, I'll worry more about the score later. Should have a pretty minimal impact on the game overall.
