I just want to remind You that we never accepted character switching and please respect that rule. This is why I rejected copyleft run. While You had option to switch them in overworld and run it, other people got a crash and started all over again. We want to make sure, everyone is playing on same level, no matter what game version they are using.

ive never heard of this bug, can you show me an example of it?

That would be hard to execute on purpose because for example, on windows 7, I was crashing on v1.3 but on windows 10 not so it's quite random in terms, how it works but some players were experiencing the issue.

okay, well can you at least describe to me what it was like? did the game crash as soon as you pressed left/right, or when you pressed continue?

once you switched character and choosed level, the game crashed.

Is this rule still enforced? UbuntuJackson's current run uses character switching between Luigi and Toad, in this segment:

I'm not trying to point fingers or anything (I also want to use character switching for a portion of my run, too), but I just wanted to clear things up.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here? I thought this topic is requesting people not to use character switching.

If it is indeed allowed and I'm not misunderstanding the purpose of this topic, then it might need to be closed before it confuses anyone else.

well if this rule's out the window, can you unblock my princess cliche run?

In my seven years of playing SMBX (Windows 7) I have never encountered this bug.
