That looks great!  Have you gotten scrolling done yet?

I tried this a week back when you first released it but didn't remember it until now >.<
Anyways, some qualms I have: When you pick up the POW block (i'm assuming it's a POW block) you need to add a delay or a repeat counter in the getkey to make sure you don't throw it right after picking it up. Also, ducking (i'm assuming you'll add this in the future) needs to be implemented and picking up those radish thingies. Also, make sure the items get removed after they fall off the screen otherwise they'll rollover back onto the screen, which is bad.
Great work so far, though. I like the very accurate death animation

EDIT: Also, I think jumping is non-linear in the real game? Maybe try and replicate that.

I think he means realistic gravity (acceleration). That would be a good idea. Sprites look great though.

Yep, I noticed the 'glitch' with the direct throwing. Some of my classmates also said that I should make falling non-linear, like in the actual game.

I hope you don't give up, though. Also on Cemetech you seemed interested in a Paper Mario port. Are you still planning to do the SMB2/Doki Doki Panic port anyway even if you decide to do a Paper Mario clone too? It would be nice to see both, although I would obviously recommend not working on both at once unless they used the same engine.

AH ok, you're porting that one for calcs? I hope eventually you finish SMB though, although it's a huge project so it's a good idea to continue practicing with much smaller ones first.

I'm very busy IRL at the moment, because if I don't have good notes, I have to repeat this school year, and I dont feel like wanting that
So updates might go very, very slow.

Good marks/grades*, I also have something like 'notes' in portuguese
