The player start is in the new area to encourage playing with the new "Elite Guards"

I think you'll like their pattern, also the room has a bunch of obstacles for the first time making things a bit more tricky....

I finally have gear implemented. It's the same as equipment really...
so dash and double jump have properly been re-assigned to the default shoes.

and i gave vivi special shoes to bring back infinite double jump to play with.

there are a lot of shoes that can be added... maybe you lose double jump and dash but can walk on lava... etc... lots of cool stuff coming down the pipe.

The new slots are, shoes/feet, fingers/rings, head hats and masks!, neck/necklace.

So this addresses two big asks...

better fights.
better rewards.

its coming... this is the preview.

thanks for playtesting!
