Description:	SPONGEBOB ME BOY WHERE'S ME BOOTY "Krabs Test" is my latest created Super Mario World hack, and my first project in applying a greater knowledge of ExGFX and ASM patches to the final game. I've labeled my hack as Kaizo one, and while you can definitely expect this level of difficulty, it doesn't rely on a lot of already established Kaizo moves. This is just an insanely difficult hack that uses some non-traditional means of creating tough situations. While the ASM inserted isn't a huge amount, you can expect to the following implemented: -Wall-jumping -A few custom sprites -Patch that fixes spin-jumping on multiple enemies -A retry system With the semester almost over, I had a lot more relaxed of a time creating this hack, so I really hope that you enjoy it! -Carson EDIT: Shortly after uploading I have fixed a few sprite errors and layer 1 placements.

Honestly, this hack was kinda annoying. The levels were short, but have random precise spots at points (except for level 3, which is full of them).
The collapse text will explain in more detail but it will contain spoilers.
The levels: Show/Hide

- Level 1 and 2 were pretty easy, but level 2 has a terrible wall jump asm that was pretty annoying, its also a vertical level where the camera doesn't scroll up fast enough half the time so that's annoying too
- Level 3 has nothing put precision, very jarring compared to the rest of the hack which has random tight spots scattered around
- Level 4 was kinda repetitive, and having to hit the wigglers head every time was a little annoying
- Level 5 was solid, here I'm pretty sure you can make things easier by using the side of the death blocks to stand on
- Level 6 is back and forth repetitiveness, nothing special
- Level 7 is annoying, death blocks being jank again, pretty sure I wall jumped off of nothing here too at one point. I swear half the time the wall jump wouldn't even work against the wall. the boss is annoying, and there is no midway so you got to do all that again

The wall jump was kinda janky and annoying. The death blocks are also jank, you can stand on side of them and since wall clip isn't pathed you can clip on the side of them, without dying mind you. This can cause cheese in some spots I'm pretty sure.
Difficulty curve is awful. The first two levels are ridiculously easy compared to the rest of the hack, then level 3 happens which is debatably the most difficult level in this hack, then goes in an inverse difficulty curve until the last level where the difficulty spikes again.
I wouldn't really recommend this overall, it does have some interesting ideas, but it feels like it needed more playtesting at the very least.
Side note: There is 7 levels, last one has the SMW credits ending so yeah

I always seem to feel underwhelmed when I play hacks that should be following a certain theme. For the most part it just feels like an afterthought, and I feel like you could've pushed the theme a bit better on this hack.

Levels are fairly short with some extra tight jumps thrown in, so most of the time you will die to the same part and breeze through the rest. Levels 2 and 3 were pretty repetitive, using different set ups to do the same thing.

My favorite level was the falling level with cape. It had good theming and was very unique. Final level was pretty fun as well.

The only real problem I had with the hack was that you could stand on the corners of the death blocks and not die. This didn't really seem to matter much it just felt weird.
