Multiple checkpoints

People say that's not possible, but I'm a super genius and I think genius stuff. So here's a step by step tutorial:

1. Put your second checkpoint in a separate layer. For convenience sake, I'll name the layer "Checkpoint 2" here.
2. Make another layer (I'll name it "Checkpoint Warp"), and put a warp to the second checkpoint where the first checkpoint is.
3. When you place the midway point in the second checkpoint, open the Events window and put "Checkpoint Warp" in the "No More Objects in Layer" section.
4. Make an event to make the second checkpoint appear (I'll name it "Checkpoint 2 teleports").
5. Put "Checkpoint 2 teleports" in the Events window of the first checkpoint, in the "Death" section. If you don't do this, the player will restart in the latest checkpoint regardless of what checkpoint you took.

That's it. Very simple, no? If you catch the second checkpoint first, SMBX would recognize it as the first checkpoint, so either way it works.
