Extremely well done!

First of all, everything looks like Mario!

Second of all there's the awesome Mario / Propellerheads
mix song that's awesome.

Third of all, there's an apparent bug when you hit a arrow and mario moves, and hit down while moving, he stops, but doesn't duck. He only ducks when you're standing still and press down.

Kudos! Can't wait to see the end product!

Yeah, the glitches will be fixed. Glad you liked!

Best tutorial I have ever seen

The sound effects are a very nice touch!

This is also the first tutorial I have ever learned anything from.

For quality settings, the property (not a function!) is _quality,
and can be set to "LOW", "MEDIUM", "HIGH", and "BEST".

For example: _root._quality = "LOW";
and just put that in a on(release) or whatever for a button and tadaa!!

Well thanks. I included a sound test if you wanna hear them all.

I spent like 2 hours before submitting this just trying to find a tutorial on making quality buttons. I finally decided I could add them later, and I've already gotten 2 responses pertaining to that particular question. I'll do a new version sometime soon... I need to get away from flash for a while...

Very nice game!

It's a really nice game with an extremely well done physics engine. There are a few complaints however, like how the red target area keep staying *above* the ball, so whenever the ball is 'close' to it it covers the ball up.

The game is also so fricken difficult haha!

Keep up the good job!

i know i tried to fix it but could not...

sloppy work

You obviously know what you're doing, seeing that you've used guidelines and whatnot...

the thing is, you don't really follow your guidelines and despite having them, your drawings turn out to be unproportional. practice more to get the details right. It seems like you're completely aware that you're not paying attention to getting the details right and just using them to get the point across. In my opinion a well-done tutorial should focus on the graphics of what it's trying to teach (it's a tutorial - a teaching tool - you don't want to teach sloppy work).

I like how you did the smaller stuff though like eyes and mouths etc.

Also don't draw on the computer unless you have a Wacom tablet. Drawing on the computer is bad for your wrist *and* the results are generally half-presentable. Kudos on the music though.
