Overall, this hack is well on its way to acceptance. There are some minor things to point out, which I'll do at the end of this write-up, but the biggest thing is the major difficulty spike in the level, "The Big Green Thing." The pipe entrance at the end of the first room is significantly harder than anything else in the hack, and it took me a lot of time and attempts to get what ultimately felt like a lucky re-landing on the platform to enter the pipe. Especially with the amount of level both before and after that trick, it was outside of the range of the rest of the hack.

I actually went back with save states to check how difficult it was just now, and it was still a 10% or a 20% chance when I had a strategy down to catch the platform.

One other frequent issue is cutoff throughout the hack, which I'll point out with images here.

A couple other, smaller things that stick out in the following levels:

That Water One: the midway entrance is set to be from a pipe, but there's no pipe there.

One Slippery Slide: you can clip into this ceiling.

There are probably some other, small things I'm forgetting, but it, again, it was really just the difficulty in the one level and maybe the amount of cutoff that kept this from acceptance.
