I'm rejecting due to a minor issue that found in the level -WHAT IN TARNATION IS UP WITH THIS HERE ICE AND BUBBLES???-, when Mario reaches the spot with a P-balloon marked, the balloon despawned the 99% of the times of my attempts playing this level. I'm not sure if this is a camera scrolling issue or if I was doing something wrong all the time, but this obstacle seems to be extremely odd and inconsistent because there's nothing pointing out that you must wait or move in a specific way, or if the p-balloon only spawns under a particular circumstance or condition.

Other stuff that I want to point out, which are not the reject reason.

In the level -CAVE LAVA GO BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR YOU LOVE VANILLA SMW RIGHT??-, the foreground palette uses a very dark color that is very difficult to see and differentiate from the background. I suggest changing the foreground palette a bit to make it a bit lighter.



In the level -LEMMY HAVE SOME SUPER CURSED DOOR ENTRIES WITH MY SMW PLZ- there are stacked munchers in the room that requires a extremely precise door entry (I don't remember if its frame perfect). I suggest to use another kind of blocks in order to make it to look more cleaner.



In the level -SIR THIS IS A WENDY'S AND WE DO NOT SERVE ANY HOT DRINKS!- the palette used in the cement blocks inside the Wendy boss fight is kind of harmful to the eye, because is a very strong red tonality. Considering this is a very hard and obnoxious fight, the player will look at these blocks for an extended period and can end up hurting players' vision. I suggest to modify the palette a bit or simply put the cement blocks in their default palette.



The title screen cuts off the hack name when you press a button to select a file to start the game.



With the main issue in particular being fixed, the hack can be accepted.
