Description:	SUDP (Stupided up dummy party) is a "kaizo" hack with a very "mixed" level design style (because i cant decide on a single style). Do not play if you don't like horrible glitchy messes full of stupid memes, bad graphics, and dumb "jokes". SUDP is a parody of many other hacks including: YUMP YUMP 2 Vip & Wall mix JUMP 1/2 Brutal Mario Kaizo Mario 1 Xka Shack Mario's Mystery Meat A few Kldc 2020 entries Kaizo things in hack: block dupe shell jumps hard jumps disco shelling

So, there's quite a few concerns, some of which are rejectable and some that aren't. I'm just gonna list them out. The overworld needs a seizure warning, and it's also a vanilla edit. The Yoshi House level is confusing and leads to nothing afaik looking in lunar magic. It's very possible to have good-looking "bad graphics," as in something like Unintended Consequences, but this doesn't hit that mark. "Mario's Soupes Remagter" is roundabout, has superfluous things all around, you can cheese yoshi or the galoomba wherever you want, things like that - it doesn't feel like a kaizo level. The flashing colors in the castle level are also potentially seizure-inducing.

"D-day" the level has a goomba with a Hitler-esque moustache and is an imagining of storming Omaha Beach; it seems very glib about all that, which was maybe funny a decade ago but isn't now. It's also a vanilla edit of Donut Plains 1. The disco-shell level also has flashing lights. "Not a KLDC 2020 entry." is a garbled mess of graphics. I get that it's intentionally so, but it doesn't really serve a purpose and is just...yeah. The "SUPER" level has some double-sprite death issue potential at the three disco-ball spinys the kaizo blocks above them. I had to just take the 50/50 on if I'd die there, but it felt more like 70/30 in favor of dying.

Overall, this felt like a submission meant for Linkdeadx2 to get a kick out of during his stream. I don't know how much of what I mentioned needs to be fixed up so that it's acceptable, but at the moment it doesn't seem to settle down into one of the categories of "good hack with silliness" (JUMP, JUMP 1/2), "ridiculous jank that's still fun" (YUMP 2), or "intentionally overwhelmingly frustrating and in your face about it" (KEK 2). There's a chance, if it finds its footing and it's in the first grouping that it could be accepted, but that'll take a lot of revision.
