- That solution sounds great (using the mamut's cannonball's).

- Will we ever see the NE Elephant again :) ? I know the mamut takes his place, but he wouldn't look out of place in this episode.

- Have you considered using the Xbox pack (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=258758768)? It has higher-resolution, official models for the Sirians and the Cucurbito, which most people haven't seen, but would look really good in your mod, as they match the HD look of all your other enemies.

- Ah, fair enough. The NE Biomech would look cool, but only if you feel its doable. Honestly, I think AI should be used for his textures, because the official games don't ship with his HD textures:
HD textures: 1 and 2 

Default textures.

For his attack animation, I don't know much, but wouldn't it be ideal to just have him shoot (lasers/missiles/cannonballs/etc) without animating? His turrets/cannons don't seem to need movement.

- The Death noise of the Butcher Apes gets a bit repetitive when heard over and over, for example in the big arena (Photo 7 in this page). Could they be muted after 2 or 3 are defeated within the same minute? Or a different noise be used after that?

- That big arena is really cool, but I noticed that the enemies come out really slowly, and only in batches of their own (Apes, Harpies, etc). It might work best if they come out in mixes, and with a bit more speed. Then again, I played in Tourist.

- For the second level, I did not find the object in the area where there are columns that you use to jump before they crush you. 

- In the 4th? level, the part that starts with a tunnel, where there are many huge boulders that can kill you by touching you. That part feels a bit unfair. I've even seen an enemy die just by touching one of the boulders in motion (this is an issue from the original SE Sam)

- The Minigun is fun, but it sometimes feels that the Machinegun is better. The Minig takes a bit too long to wind-up, and the effect/damage doesn't feel as useful in exchange.

- For the Ghostbuster Beam Gun, have you considered adding a secondary fire mode?

I've always thought of having a secondary fire where either:
    - The beam is stronger and more expensive, but pushes enemies back.

   - Or, the beam isn't as long as Primary fire, but instead its closer and wider, like a spray or arc, similar to the Flamethrower.

- For the Mine Layer gun, I think the original wasn't a very good weapon, because of its short firing distance, so it could benefit a lot from your updates :)

I have been thinking of a possible suggested solution:

- What if the left click button allows you to shoot a mine (exact same mechanic as the grenade launcher) which sticks to enemies or surfaces (whichever it touches first). The right click button begins a priming countdown of 2-3 seconds, after which the mines explode.

- Or, what if holding the left mouse button makes the gun load up to 3 mines, which it then shoots (same range as the grenade launcher). The mines stick to enemies or surfaces. The gun cannot be switched for another (nor can the right button be clicked) until it reloads, which takes 2-3 seconds. This balances the weapon against the other launchers.
