A Super Mario ROM Hack aggregator/archive thing
Attempt at a Normal Hack
I started working on this (almost entirely vanilla) hack in 2016, when I was mainly a kaizo hacker. My design philosophy has changed over the years, but my vision for this hack remained the same: a showcase of creative setups and challenges, without going ham on the difficulty.
I hope you enjoy playing this as much as I enjoyed making the levels! There are 40 exits, and the difficulty is Standard: Hard (despite being an attempt at normal).
If you plan on playing the entire hack, I recommend tackling Booser’s citadel last.
This hack was released in the Winter 2024 C3, but for version 1.11 I have made some minor fixes since then. Thanks to all who streamed this hack, or pointed out my errors.
