As you already know, SMBX38A standalone is a bit outdate as it uses almost the same as SMBX 1.3. So I'd like to suggest a massive update of it.
At first, I just wanted to suggest adding blocks that would expand the original tilesets (because there are some tilesets with so few blocks that you can't even work with them, like most of SMB1 tilesets), but as I was searching for graphics, I found some wonderful ones that I thought would be a welcome addition to the game. I chose the graphics very carefully, I picked up only those that I thought would make a significant improvement to the game, and that would make the design process more fun and varied.
But that's not all, I looked into the already existing graphics and made a lot of improvements, not only for blocks but for NPCs and effects as well. I also added the missing sound effects (so hopefully in 1.4.6 we'll have a Bumper with correct sound effects!).
I put some notes in the folders.

- The big majority of graphics were made by Sednaiur and Valtteri. I obtained Sednaiur's graphics from his GFX Expansion packs, while I obtained Valtteri's graphics from his submissions at MFGG. And of course, Nintendo. I can make a detailed sheet containing the credits if necessary.
EDIT (17/04):
V1.1: I forgot to add a really important sound effect: switch-timer-last. It sounds 1 second before P-Switch, P-Stop, Starman and Mega-Mushroom ends, which is very important. I also made fixes in the volume of most sounds effects (some were too loud, other too low) and improved mini-mushroom's ones. Please use the version 1.1 sounds (if downloaded this yesterday).
V1.2: I fixed some minor mistakes at the npc graphics-fixed folder (Blue Switch Goomba, Piranha Plants and Sumo Bro's fire).
