Overall a fun hack. Lots of interesting variety and theming. I appreciate the nerfs from 1.0, which had begun to feel unreasonable by the end of world 3. Also appreciate that the last two levels weren't a nightmare slog as is often the case in this kind of hack. I found most of the difficulty concentrated in the last two worlds or so, starting with the first homing saw level.

Moderation notes:

- In "A Plentiful Field of Bob-Omb Battles", when I got to this part right after the checkpoint, I didn't see any indication that the intended path forward was below, effectively making it a blind jump. I thought I had missed a P-switch somewhere.
- In "Awkward Boardwalk Slippery Boardwalk", this P-switch is occasionally initially either not spawned in or is invisible, and I had to go back and clear out some other sprites before seeing it.
- In "The Dangers of Unattended Tools", there's cutoff in the beginning. A couple of tiles of air below the level are visible when you spawn, but many more are visible if you die in the beginning while the camera scrolls down during the death animation.
- In "Bowser's Castle of Conniving Corridors", you can clip into the floor after the first checkpoint to skip everything until the final boss. This might be an intended reward for players who keep a powerup after the first section and know how to do the clip.


Personal notes:

- In a few places, I had trouble discerning solid vs. non-solid tiles in a pinch which led to suboptimal gameplay decisions.
- I had trouble keeping track of whether I had a mushroom (and therefore whether I could take a hit) because small Peiton looks a lot like big Peiton (the difference is much less pronounced than small vs. big Mario).
- A couple of the secrets were quite obtuse and I couldn't imagine figuring them out without Lunar Magic.
- The difference in color between an overworld dot with one vs. two exits was very subtle, and it would turn the same shade of red before both exits were acquired, leading me to have to keep manual track of which exits I got for lack of any indications.

Variety refers to having a variety of level design?
Peyton Author From older version: A Thing w/ Peiton Link

Is this hack connected to Story of Peiton, or is it its own thing?
Peyton Author From older version: A Thing w/ Peiton Link
more or less a pseudo-sequel-replacement-remake? i have no idea what to categorize it as, but to answer your question: yes and no!
