I've decided to give this hack a try for mind refreshing. After all, what is a C3 thread without a reply, right?

This hack was quite creative! There were some parts that felt a bit frustrating to get through but that doesn't mean any of the levels are not fun. The first one, to be exact, had some quite few unique segments like the first auto-scrolling section and the Kaizo trap at the end, but the level that comes after was way too frustrating, especially that one part with the fish generator and Yoshi. The fishes spawn at a point where I can't even be touched at all so Yoshi can run away unless I get to the upper ledge. Dunno, might be just me, as that was the only part that was irritating enough. (combining water and lava is a nice twist though!)
Thwomp's grieving face is glitched though (aka replaced by Urchin's top left tile). You weren't using the latter in that part so I guess replacing its tiles is far safer.


I guess you intended me to use both the 1-up and the three berries to feed baby Yoshi. This entire segment turned out to be useless, as I could keep the shell from the parakoopa and shell-jump above the muncher pit. You could also kick said shell and use red Yoshi - now in a grown-up state - to get to the pipe, but it's not effective anyway.

I'm not sure what is the purpose of the flying block on the first underwater bit... If its purpose was to make the shell bounce back after killing the Rip Van Fish, I could very well lure it and kill it when I got to the brown pipe. You can replace it with a non-walking enemy, like a Clappin' Chuck.


The entire idea of bouncing on the disco shell as my jumping abilities are disabled is a nice idea. Unfortunately, I killed the yellow shelless koopa and used its shell to swim throughout the room, keeping it until after I enter the yellow pipe.

A minor nitpick, but the second directional coin snake disappears sometimes as soon as I enter the room. Nice idea you had there, though; I can say the same thing for the uses of layer 2 afterwards.

This is definitely something I'd be testing as a whole in my spare time when it's fully released. Good luck, I look forward to seeing the other levels!

Yep, it's possible. Keep shooting your fireballs at a specific frame until it's able to break that block as the spike is rising up, at least that's the way I did despite all the trouble worth to do it. A far easier way is to progress onto the green pipe as normal, swim above the clouds where baby Yoshi is and hit the block.

You can make the Thwomp smash as the spike is sinking, and it will go through the blocks when the latter is rising up. Let the last Thwomp fall, get above the yellow pipe and shoot your fireballs at the remaining ice block and then squeeze through it to get back to the blue pipe. I agree this part should be tweaked a bit to make this whole process easier.

As for how you first tried to do it, I did it multiple times until I could get it to work, but that castle block made it more difficult than it ever was.
