Hello everyone, I’m finally back for one final post on this forum. It’s been an honor posting this hack as it was one of the first along side a few others such as Kinoko Island to feature beta elements and sprites in a Super Mario World romhack. I have attached a link below as usual. Here’s what has changed
-message boxes were removed
-dry bones sprite changed
-room 8 of Bowser’s castle has been tweaked
-fixed/added cut Mario sprites

Okay. Cool. The hack looks great. Problem. The level designs suck. I'm sorry they just do.
I don't know if Jon's "nerfed" it in the past, but either way, these levels are WAY too oppressive right from the jump. I can't get past either Donut Secret House or Castle 2.
Like do any of these look fun to you? Because they aren't for me.
I don't know if this is, like, a skill issue on my end, but GOD Jon please nerf these I beg of you. I don't care if the harder levels are more "prototype-accurate" or whatever. Sometimes you need to sacrifice a bit of prototype accuracy to make something actually fun to play. I like that you went through the effort of changing up the levels, but PLEASE make them fun to play. These levels are so cheap at such an early point in the game, and I don't have faith it gets any better from here.
(I don't mean any of this as a personal attack by the way, but I've been trying to get through both these levels for almost an hour now so I'm quite pissed about it.)
(And also Jon, if you aren't gonna nerf them, at least give me tips on how to do better at them? Because GEEZ these are horrible and I know I won't be able to beat them on my own.)
