Heya all, hope you are all having a lovely weekend! And it's about to get better, as a new SMC Snapshot has just dropped! Let's delve over the highlights...

📷 Camera updates

The player can now manually scroll the camera, and you can assign custom keybinds to these actions. Map screen sizes are a new feature that lets you alter the screen size of the current map. 

❄️🏜️🌲🗻 New tilesets

The Super Mario World gamestyle gets a bunch of new tilesets! The highlight are the 4 new retro tilesets: snow, desert, forest & mountain. There's also a new vase tileset, which also has an icy palette. The SMW rope tileset has also been expanded with new tiles!

💥 POW Blocks

This Snapshot adds 3 different POW Blocks: the blue POW can be carried and has a screen-wide effect, defeating (grounded) enemies and making coins & loose sprites fall. Red POWs have a shorter range but a more powerful, and can also trigger blocks (including other POWs). Arcade POWs are similar to blue POWs, but cannot be picked up. They can be hit 3 times, and will stun specific enemies (instead of defeating them).

🐃🐌 🦄 Bullies & Snailicorns

Bullies are a very unique enemy: they can't deal damage to the player (unless electrified), however they can knock them back - including off pits and into lava, so be careful! You can however beat them at their own game, by jumping or throwing items at them - which knocks them back instead! Snailicorns are similar to Bullies, but they damage the player instead of knocking them back. And they're just awesome enemies in general! As usual there's more smaller tweaks and lots of bug fixes you can find a list of below. Happy level making!

Tweaks to enhance the gameplay experience:

• You can now assign analog stick input to gameplay actions, including for the inputs to scroll the camera.
• Broozers now come to a (quick, but not instant) stop when the player they're chasing goes into statue form, then return patrol mode.
• The string 'Press any key' is now translatable.
• The rope tileset has been expanded, now including the much-requested gentle slopes.
• Conveyor Belts now have roofskip & floorskip prevention.
• The SMW 'Icy Cave'-theme preset now comes with the ice tileset pre-configured (instead of the vanilla cave).
• Amps can now be defeated by throwing a (compatible) sprite at them.
• For Mario to pick up a sprite that has 4-sided semisolids, the player now has to face that sprite. This prevents another sprite with 4-sided semisolids being picked up behind, which is often undesired.
• Collecting a Shroom/Dragon Coin now just plays the 'collectable' SFX, instead of also the regular coin sound (since it didn't in SMW).
• The Strawberry Coin (a Shroom Coin skin part of the Celeste/Forsaken City theme) now has its own dedicated SFX.
• Dragging the moving coin sprite around in the editor now makes coin sounds.
• Flipping enemies over by e.g. tailwagging no longer awards points (balancing tweak).
• Frosted sprites (sprites that were frozen by cryo), can now be thawed using fiery sprites - big cryo'd sprites take 3 hits! Thawing causes the sprite to be defeated, even those that are normally immune to fire.
• Frosted sprites also remain bubbleable if they used to be, but spiky frosted sprites can also keep popping bubbles.
• Frosted sprites are pre-loaded (when applicable) on map load, so they appear instantly when a sprite is cryo'd.
• Snowy Item Blocks now have snow properties, letting Penguin Mario slide on them. Empty Blocks with the ice palette are now slippery as well.

Bug fixes (there's plenty!)
