| Description: | This is my first SMW hack. I spent a year and a half on this and now I can finally share it with others. I was making lots of SMM2 kaizo levels before this one. This is vanilla stuff, nothing terribly difficult for my skills. Lots of backshots and other kaizo tricks, also some tight jumps. Difficult is maybe kaizo intermediate.. This is an improved version, there were some minor problems with the previous one. I make a few small changes to make the gaming experience better. What has been fixed? - I change dark levels back to bright - I added two fast travels point after switch palaces, so the player doesn't have to circle the entire map back. - Minor changes to make gaming experience better. This hack Contain: - 27 exits, including 3 switch palaces - Banger music - A little "puzzle" I hope the journey from here on goes smoothly. |

You can break the setups in almost all the levels by scrolling the camera with L/R buttons. You can respawn fireballs in the contrary direction, or you can making some sprites to spawn completely misaligned, ruining the obstacles.
The first significant instance of breaking a level with scrolling the camera is in the level -Memories of Green-, in which you can respawn a fireball that goes to the right, you can spin jump on it and skip many obstacles to reach the goal tape.
The other instances of L/R scroll breaking the levels is mainly killing shelless koopas (the yellow ones that are meant for disco shells, or the blue ones that are meant for kicking double hit green shells), considering these two examples are setups the repeat in almost all the levels.
Given that you are not using the camera scrolling as a gimmick in any of the levels, you could easily disable it by applying this tweak
Regarding graphical issues, there are a huge amount of cutoff, missing corner tiles, slopes without their correspondant assist tiles, or wrong corner tiles for floor tiles, practically in all the levels.
Some of these issues are critical because you can go into the ceiling and freely walk inside the dirt (potential softlock), which is the case of the level -Path of Aquarius-.
You can also clip into the floor and fall into to the pit (cases of slopes without assist tiles), walk inside the dirt or freely swim, which the last one is the case of the level -Wreck of Prayers-.
Other examples of graphical issues:
Regardless I'm posting only a few examples of graphical issues, I strongly suggest to check all the levels.
It brought my attention that you are using donut bridge tiles as ledge tiles, which is not wrong but it could confuse players, especially those that have never played Mario Maker before (since I knew from Mario Maker that the donut bridge tiles are semisolid in there). I suggest to replace them with cloud or rope tiles.
I saw in the credits that you were the only tester of your hack which is not wrong but it is strongly encouraged to find at least one external playtester in order to find the issues that the creator could be missing. You can check the kaizo hacks testing discord server, in order to find people to test your hack or for asking help/feedback.
With these changes being applied, the hack can be accepted. If you need more info about this rejection don't hesitate to reach me on Discord or site PMs.
