A Super Mario ROM Hack aggregator/archive thing
Aeron Returns
The continuation of Aeron’s Golden Cookie Quest is here. In this new adventure, our favorite wizard is summoned back to Japan to solve some issues that he ended bringing in his last adventure and a lot more of funny situations awaits him in this wacky journey.
Unlike its predecessor, this hack has autosave, retry uberasm made by Kevin (instant retry), saves after every pipe/door /entrance and infinite lives. This hack is also somewhat “kaizo poisoned”, so don’t expect a walk in the park. A lot of obstacles have a specific timing or rhythm. You don’t need kaizo tech like shelljumps or any complicated tech to beat it. This project is a testament of my desire of pushing my limits even further, and thus, it is way harder than Aeron’s Golden Cookie Quest.
Special thanks to StayAtHomeStegosaurus, for playtesting and giving feedback regarding the musics volume, and N450 for finding bugs and playing it.
I hope you enjoy it.
