While we chip away at bigger issues delaying the release of Beta 4 I&#8217;ve recently discovered that NPC IDs beyond 500 are being claimed. This doesn&#8217;t mean that all of them will be available next release, but it does mean that a doubling of the Beta 3 NPC count is closer than you might think! Over 100 NPCs have been completed and will be added to SMBX2 with Beta 4 at this point, and i figured I should show some more of them.<\/p>\n<h5>A new type of container<\/h5>\n<div style=\"width: 525px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-148-1\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/40Rqf94.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/40Rqf94.mp4\">https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/40Rqf94.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>If you played SMW you will remember Mushrooms popping out of bushes on occasion. This &#8220;Hidden Mushroom&#8221; Sprite, as it&#8217;s referred to in Lunar Magic, was modified by me to serve as a container for any npc!<\/p>\n<h5>Original Enemies<\/h5>\n<p>Sometimes we come up with AI that enemies could have which don&#8217;t fit any specific enemy from existing games, so we come up with new designs and these enemies are some of the more unique ones in the game so far:<\/p>\n<p title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/lqNueCE.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These enemies are called <strong>Blerts<\/strong>. They reproduce within a small radius and die when the core is killed. Rockythechao came up with these in the context of wanting to design an enemy simulating Conway&#8217;s Game of Life, and the regular blerts you see here were created as an alternative. In the future, <strong>Golblerts<\/strong> simulating Conway&#8217;s game will be added.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/cifurj8.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Grafs<\/strong> are small bats by The0x539 whose AI is determined by a graph function. This gif showcases some basic graphs such as a sine wave, circle, tangent and an accelerating Graf. Their electric variant is called <strong>Van de Graf <\/strong>and is immune to regular jump attacks.<\/p>\n<h5>New Bosses<\/h5>\n<p>Two new bosses have been added to the game!
