Luigi's Adventure OSE - The Lost Levels

So, are these levels that where present in the japanese version and cut in OSE, or are they cut content in the original release as well?

Playing through this now, stuck on Stop a Faucet.

Difficulty is completely insane with each level having extremely demanding platforming, tricky enemy placement, and long level length. This will push you to your limits and each stage is incredibly satisfying to beat. There have been many frustrating moments, but it's mostly felt like it's my fault rather than the level.

The level design is very unique since it combines kaizo elements (forced methods to clear obstacles, specific tricks like midair spring jump), standard non-kaizo (powerups, lots of enemies, multiple ways to approach an obstacle), and consistently high difficulty

I highly recommend this to experienced SMW players who have played a significant amount of Kaizo and Standard: Very Hard who are looking for a unique challenge.


5/5 for the very high quality levels and unique design, especially for its time.

What's the password?

I just found what you mean, thanks.

There is a very easy life farm you can use in the first section of Tried. Also, SimFan has included an optional patch that allows for the hack to save.

Great hack, but why do you only give 1 life? I have save states so I just save state everytime I beat a level, but what about those playing on actual hardware? This is something that really needs to be fixed.

Thank you so much erpster, I sincerely apologize. I didn't see your comment until now for some reason! I actually just finished fixing and submitted Luigi's Adventure 3 OSE!

I'm glad to hear that it could work properly! As for the way to patch it, you'll want to use Asar to patch the .asm file to the rom!

It's definitely an extremely hard hack! That's what I was wondering too, I included it in the submission notes as well. Because I can definitely see the difficulty cross over into the Kaizo territory!

Haven't played this in years, but I remember this being crazy hard. I wonder if the difficulty will get rerated to Kaizo Light? Some of these levels are real teeth gnashers. I guess the level design style is not really Kaizo though.

that's nice. let us know when you are able to do this.

so far no problems found with the updated Luigi's Adventure OSE Lost Levels game - plays perfectly in both snes9x & bsnes. just need to figure out how to implement the save patch for this game to save my game progress after beating all the levels

Heck yes I can! Currently starting the prep work for fixing that hack!

<3

Oh yeah!

And as there's a small issue in Luigi's Adventure 3: Overseas Edition by playing on SNES9x. Do you think you can fixe it?

Password really?

the second level is unbeatable

killerdestroyer, that was nice of you to give the password, but personally I don't think you should...
Unless it's against the rules of this site to wall a hack with a password (for people who practice making
hacks where you have to (gulp!) pay, which is illegal.)

But this, isn't, because you can obtain the password by beating the normal LAdv OSE hack.

All well. I guess people will appreciate it either way.

Oh yeah, nice hack again Anikiti

For the most part, this is a pretty good time if you're looking for something on the border between very hard and kaizo light, both in terms of design philosophy and in terms of actual difficulty. It should be mentioned that Anikiti recycled a lot of material for this though, both from the original Luigi's Adventure as well as from the never completed Luigi's Adventure 2. You also only get 1 life for some reason so you'll probably have to do something about that if you want to play toolless. 4/5

I just looked up a play-through on youtube.

It's at the "THE END" screen of Luigi's Adventure OSE.

For super players more like for players on steroids.
This hack officially marks the borderline between a kaizo/pit kind of hack and a normal one. It's mostly not different from the main one in terms of design and aesthetics. Except that here the difficulty is pushed over the limit. If you cried over the main hack being too hard, then let me suggest you to never play this.

Some issues:
- Music breaks on accurate emulators.
- I had no idea how to clear "Aggressive & Timid": you're given a springboard at a certain point, and according LM, you're supposed to go over the level. You can't do this with just a springboard, so I assume there's a glitch you have to take advantage on that I don't know...?
- Extreme slowdown, big offender being the sewer level.

Overall, as hack it's good, but the difficulty will make you cry from the beginning to the end... if you dislike hardcore-like levels.
