Hey, welcome to C3 2017.
"Mario's Keytastrophe: Rebirth Edition" is not a remake of the original Mario's Keytastrophe from 2007 (though wow, has it really been ten years?), but rather a completely new game that acts as a (finished!) spiritual successor to the original. The goal was to take the concept that KT was inspired by - that is, single-screen key-to-keyhole puzzles - and create a hack using that as the entire foundation. I think that the style I've chosen here more accurately reflects modern design standards, so I'm hoping people will enjoy it. I have also tried to make it speedrunner-friendly by including a timer on the map, as well as multiple paths for both 100% completionists and people who just want to find the quickest route to the end.
NOTE: No key/shell jumping is required in this hack, though if you're particularly ambitious, I've set up a few puzzles that could probably be totally broken by it.
Special thanks to Koopster for the lovely overworld on such short notice, and to Medic for the timer code.
