I played it and what it seems to be: a blatant edit of level 105. Floating munchers, cutoff, Yoshi coin placed in screen boundary, sprites disappearing. That's what I could find. Try to read this to make an better kaizo hack with none of those issues I listed above. Also, if you don't know how to link, the A button is your friend.

First of all did you read the intro at all?! I made it to make people cry but the things you said is what to do to make a normal hack BUT this is a KAIZO HACK!!!!! If your talking about fun I don't know why your here.

The things I said also apply to Kaizo hacks. However you can still make difficult kaizo levels, just don't do the issues I listed above.

Yes, Kaizo hacks are supposed to be hard (they are unfairly hard by definition), but they should be at least somewhat enjoyable. As for unfair, I think there are different tiers of unfair. There's unfair as in 'think fast or die' or puzzles w/o reset doors, and then there's annoying and tedious, or just impossible for a human player. Also:

Hey, first time posting, but I saw this in hack removal log and wanted to add something to it.

It seems you just made this in around an hour or something (if it isn't, it looks like it). The level design is not very interesting, as this is just an edit straight off of level 105. You should improve the level design by spending more time on it and making the level more fun and interesting. At this point, it is not very fun or interesting.
For example:

If you look closely enough at the bottom row, you can see blocks down there. This is not fun nor interesting. This is annoying and unfair- not good level design.

Also, it's not really hard at all. If you were aiming for difficulty and making people cry, then you could improve the difficulty (though don't be unfair, it just turns people off from playing your levels).

(edited to fix screenshot.)

God, I hate the stereotype that kaizo hacks are not designed to be fun. This is a statement only made by those inexperienced in kaizo hacking or people who are new to the kaizo community. I'm going to say this now: KAIZO HACKS CAN BE, IN FACT, SHOULD BE ENJOYABLE TO PLAY!!! whew, got that out of my system... Anyways, for constructive criticism:

- Banzai bill spam = not good
- Bullet bill spam = even worse
- BLATANT edit of the first level
- Graphical pitfall traps
- Seemingly impossible to get 3-up moon
- Floating muncher spam (not too much actually)
- Chargin Chuck spam
- 3 enemies mentioned above SUPER ABUSE
- Koopa/ Hammer Bros Abuse

... I'm going to be perfectly and brutally honest here. You should probably just scrap this. Look at that kaizo hack tip sheet that miguel linked and try again.

EDIT: Welcome to SMWCentral theShade :)




I Didn't test this but from what I heard, its a edit of Level 105, I would just destroy this and try again, Also, try and read this tutorial on how to improve this ^^

(rip my other userbars momentarily)

Well! I can't say thanks or criticize now but I will try to make it more annoying but I am not going to make it fun because people like me who have played over a billion hacks and find it the same boring difficulty,those are the ones I made this for not the one who does this for ''FUN''. But thx for the feed back I will start my next level and extend the hard-ness

Kaizo hacks are meant to be fun, as well as hard. In that order.
If your hack is merely annoying claiming it's a Kaizo hack rather than a regular hack isn't going to save it.
Of course you should fight fire with fire, you should fight everything with fire.

Oooh look at my userbar!

you know what?! show me an example of what you want it to be like because almost all my kaizo i played are annoying

Well, this is one of my favorite kaizos out there, while still using good gfx, music, level design etc. Most of all, it's FUN!
Why not go to my Youtube channel?


Well, if you want an example of a fun and difficult kaizo hack, there aren't much better than Cool or Cruel. Look it up on youtube. Try to take a page from its book.






As an example right here from the site, there's also Hertz Donut, or, for a harder challenge, Random's Retarded Quest 2.

Those hacks are NOT difficult. At least by today's standards. Hacks like Pitiless and Living on the Edge are where it's at.
Done with SMW for a while.

I've never seen Pitiless :x. Show me.

I probably won't play it since it doesn't look like a fun Kaizo HAck. Well, even if it's Kaizo and supossed to be very hard and unfair, some people actually try to make it still fun and enjoyable.


I agree, Pit Of Death and Pit Of Despair aren't now the hardest hacks. I've seen much harder.
Pitiless is my Pit hack, click the name to download. So far nobody has beaten it yet, or found out the intended solutions to all levels by themselves ;)
I must admit that the last few segmentss are not fun to play though, they really are nothing but hard.
Of course you should fight fire with fire, you should fight everything with fire.
