Designing For | Super Mario Bros. 1-1: Brick By Brick @DesigningFor | Uploaded January 2020 | Updated October 2024, 18 seconds ago.
An extremely thorough look at the first level of 1-1, from its design goals, to its development history, to how players will react when playing it at various skill levels. Probably our biggest undertaking so far. Happy New Year, all!
Title based on Bob Chipman's SMB3: Brick By Brick.
