If you've been regularly checking the kaizo subforum for the past 2 years, then you're probably familiar with this hack.
"Mario is Screwed" is my latest kaizo hack project that I started working on in mid-2013. It has 9 stages, all of which are long, brutal, and intricate. I found the first five stages to be (mostly) doable without slowdown, but stage 6 is when things get very difficult. Progress on this hack was very fast at first, though it slowed down immensely as it went on; it took me more than a year to get myself to finish the final stage. This was mostly due to lack of ideas and a feeling of "I don't wanna do this right now." Although I'm proud with how each level turned out, some moreso than others. I don't think I'm going to stop making hacks all together, though I'm certainly not going to make another multi-level hack of this difficulty and intricacy. I can't imagine putting my mind to it.
I also wish the ice flower was available back when I was working on stage 5, since the ice blast powerup kinda sucks. (It works, but eh)
This hack is pretty much done, as I've playtested all the stages and fixed all breaks and bugs that I was aware of, though I plan to change some more things before I actually submit this to the hacks section, since I'm a perfectionist. One thing is some of the music may sound a bit odd since I used AM4 for this, as AMK wasn't actually released when I chose all the songs I wanted to use.
I don't know when I'll actually submit it, but in the mean time, it's in my file bin, so enjoy!
Some screenshots:
(in these screenshots sometimes the time/score doesn't match the level progress kek)
YouTube playlist of all stages
Note: What you see in the videos will be slightly different than what you'll see in this almost-final version of the hack, as I've made a few minor changes.
Also warning: Explicit language is used in this hack. I'm sure none of you care, but gotta be moral.

I'm gonna play it soon!
