Ok, so, I know that everyone may not like this, but, I would like to give that 2 suggestions for later versions (I know that development can be hard, but I really would like to see it)

[*]Online Multiplayer
I saw that the original SMBX supported online multiplayer with 2 players, but only in editor, it would be very good to see this function in real game as Online Co-op

[*]4-players co-op
I was thinking about get 4-players in co-op or battle, that would expand a bit the gameplay, also, we have more than 4 characters, so I was asking to myself about 4-players multiplayer option

I like your idea, I wonder if the devellopers trying to change the main menu interface of the game? These option can be put in like subcategories (Let me dream :) )

Online-Multiplayer isn't easy.
Online-mode for drawing Levels in 1.3 is instable. I think because this, 5438A38A disabled it.
I realy hope 5438A38A will make it better and maybe add the Online-Play function.

But: At the moment SMBX using TCP-IP to send informations and datas and TCP-IP isn't made for that.
The best raison is to open an server. But maybe 5438A38A wouldn't do that. So ...

A other raison could be, that 5438A38A add the support to his IPC for controlling the players. (Like one command to set all player-infos and a other command to get all player-ifos.) So i could control the players using IPC.
Then i can insert a Online-Play-Tool to SMBX Online. I could control both player. One player I would control the 1st player and the 2nd player i would get and send data to the other person, there i would control the 2nd player an get and send data to the first person.
I wouldn't make a only tool for that, because it would be easier to send it to the other User of SMBX Online instand using of TCP-IP. That would be easier for the SMBX users too, so nobody has to install Hamachi and maybe has to hope, that SMBX would crash!
