Description: | This is a hack I wanted to make for fun when I first joined this community. I started making this hack with learning lunar magic for the first time and slowly throughout the creation of this hack I learned countless things about both the game and editor. I fell in love with it all the moment I started tinkering with it and after helping a friend work on LoM I decided I'd make my own hack. I'm glad to say that I am ready and happy to release this hack now. It features: A Death counter Snes Classic Version without a death counter Simplified HUD 28 exits in total 3 Optional switch palaces a set of special end game levels (which require the switches) Since this was my first solo hack I wanted to explore a more vanilla experience before going crazy with custom stuff and I tried for a gradual difficulty curve. Do try to have fun and remember to enjoy yourself. -Mega V1.1: Changelog included for detailed changes small and major nerfs and tweaks in nearly every level. overall I'm confident the game is a lot nicer and less tight in many places where spikes of difficulty were not desired. Thank you so much to everyone who played 1.0 and gave such amazing and helpful feedback V1.2: Again a changelog is included for further details but the main change is a fix to the major lag issues seen in Whynot's Lookout as well as minor tweaks to a handful of levels. |

I'll be revisiting it for the 100% after going through a few more beginner hacks. Thanks Mega!
Great hack. Now i feel like trying the old versions to see what all the changes were about.
In the deluxe version there is some game breaking bugs, noticed that starting a level from midway crash the game in some levels.
10/10
I genuinely don't remember if I put in a credits save patch for that exit; from doing some quick mental counting I don't think it does count.
Glad you enjoyed the deluxe version's music I tend to stress about picking music too much from being overly picky about it.
Unfortunately, my save file was deleted TWICE for unknown reasons. Most recently, I was just finished with the final castle, saved and turned off the console. Today I wanted to finish the special world, but my save file is gone again.
Does anyone either have a save file I could download, or know how to hex edit a save file so I don’t have to play through the entire game yet again (and risk having my save file deleted again)
It took me about 1800 deaths and many hours to beat the game (without the special world)
I’m playing on an SD2SNES on an original SNES
Edit: Never mind, I just found the savebase section on this site. Just downloaded the savefile, which works. Still wonder why my saves for this hack get deleted though. Hasn’t happened for other hacks or games yet...
Glad you found the savebase though that would have been my suggestion. Good luck with future hacks!
Overall: 8/10
pioneering the lower intermediate difficulty as a genre and inspiring so many creators
5 years later, this game is still a must play, almost required playing at this point.
quickie worlds aside, this hack defines alot of peoples path in kaizo as a "first real hack"
thanks for making
I finally beat it RTA (my first attempts when i started at kaizo where like save state here and there). Mega Scott is an amazing creator and deserves the 5/5 stars. GGs!
Level design is very well considered, with each level having its own personality and core mechanic that it wants to test you on. None of them outstay their welcome and the gaps between checkpoints feel just right. As a very vanilla experience it doesn't really do much in the way of gimmicks, which is fine.
In terms of difficulty, the word I would use is "Achievable". The only time I felt completely out of my depth was when there was underlying tech I didn't understand - I had to look up how to shell jump and I had to look up sticky flight. Tolerances for jumps etc. are usually generous while also feeling like a good challenge.
The colour palletes for each stage are easy on the eye, just expect it all to I can't think of a time I got confused on foreground/background elements. Expect it to look very vanilla outside of that, there's no crazy new backgrounds or anything. The overworld looks really nice.
It could use some custom music for variety, but the lack of it doesn't detract meaningfully from what's here.
This is without question a 5/5 hack for me.
More!
I love this hack, it was a nice difficulty jump after playing through the Quickie worlds and Baby Kaizo. The special world is pretty rough, other than that I'd recommend it to anyone looking to improve!
The hack looks fantastic, including the overworld. Custom music probably would have added to the hack, but the lack of it didn't take away. And besides that, it's hard to find another issue with the game.
I'd be very exited to play another hack of yours!
I appreciate the steady buildup of difficulty, even though the special world, and Twilight Bridge in particular hit me pretty hard. It took me a long while to beat this 100%, but it was worth it. It forced me to drastically improve as a player, and I loved it. Can't wait to see more from Mega!
The levels have a flow to them I have yet to find in most other hacks. This makes learning the tricks more manageable as well as more fun. The difficulty gap between main game and special world is truly something, however.
After beating this hack think about potentially playing another hack before starting the Special World. This is mainly due to the well deserved difference in difficulty spike.
Great job all around. One of my favorite hacks.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Thank you for your hard work MEGA!
The version for Snes Classic has no death counter as stated in the description and readme, enjoy.
I must be blind. Looking forward to playing it!

It's a really aesthecially pleasing and fun hack, and the 2nd hack I've played where I felt obligated to leave a 5*!
Nice!
Well done!
Thanks for this amazing hack. Only thing that is missing is custom musics
Aesthetics are very pleasing. Wished for a custom music
This is just pure fun. The levels are well polished, things flowed really well, and it had a relatively good difficulty curve. There were a few points where things were kind of kicked up a notch (ghost house and the any% castle) but I didn't think that was unfair at all, and I even liked the old 5 room castle a lot, though it was harder than it was probably intended to be, so it's good to hear it was nerfed.
If I had to reach for any criticism, it's that I feel like it didn't need quite as many exits. Several felt like more of the same, which is nice as "the same" is quite good. I'd mention the janky chuck in the water level, but that was already fixed in 1.1 (so if you're reading this and still on 1.0, consider upgrading).
Overall, this is a benchmark for hacks, and I look forward to more of your work!
5/5
I would have wished this hack had custom music, its not a must have but playing 3 cave levels in a row with the same music tilts atmosphere. This hack is based on doing regrab jumps in pretty much every level, which is good for people to learn them but they get a bit boring after a while.
Overall very good hack, waiting for Akogare 2
Bug:
I agree with Ldad on the last level, maybe a checkpoint would fit better with the overall difficulty, but not that big a deal, it still is a great great hack.
Well, I did beat all the game and I can say this is my favorite kaizo hack so far. I really did enjoy the levels and also the aesthetic, like palettes and stuff. Is amazing that you did such a great hack in your first time, so I'm hoping more from you!
Keep giving all of your best!
