The impression I got from this hack is that the author is probably still playing around with Lunar Magic, because there's nothing else changed other than a few levels (only four, actually) and respectively their message boxes. Personally saying, I found the levels to be decent, and they just need to be polished up a bit.
As said above, the levels were decent in my opinion, but there were a few things that annoyed me, which were: The pit with munchers in Chocolate Mountain, because there's no way to return to the level but wait until you die on the munchers, which takes a little long if you're Big Mario; in the same level, there's a Sprite Memory error, causing this springboard to look cut when a Wiggler is close to it and you; while I was okay with these stacked munchers (as they weren't put there for artificial difficulty but just for blocking) in Cave Labyrinth, I'm not sure if these were necessary, at all; lastly, but a nitpick of mine, this Dragon Coin doesn't look good with its flash effect, I recommend you to go on
, uncheck the "Enable original game's palette animation" and give a new colour to the palette slot where the flash effect was on.
I don't have much to comment on the aesthetics in general. I guess they just seemed to be fitting with the levels themselves but not with the overworld at all, as it wasn't even edited in this hack, just like the title screen.
The difficulty could be Easy, although Cold Mountain might have been a bit annoying level, it doesn't change much my opinion on the hack being easy. Then again, there's only four levels to be played, so I'm unsure if that's a very proper difficulty to be given.
This is a decent hack, but a bit too short. I'm leaning towards accepting the hack if you fix the issues with the levels I mentioned in this review, as the levels aren't exactly short but the issues shouldn't be present in a hack that isn't long either.
