"Brave New World" is a mostly-vanilla, glitch-heavy kaizo hack dedicated to BraveToazter.
I was inspired after playing ABC_ore's Takumi V and Tatsujin Mario Part 1, and xHF01x's Studies of a Broken Engine; I wanted to explore these glitches with different setups.
I ended up creating -- in my opinion -- a fun, fair, RTA-viable hack that showcases kaizo tricks and glitches.
There are 10 levels with 5-8 single-screen rooms each, a switch palace, and 1 secret level, totaling 72 rooms. There's a checkpoint after every room.
Not all rooms require the use of glitches; some require precision platforming, while others require technical execution (shell jumps, spring jumps, key jumps, wall-clip jumps).
NOTE: Many of the tricks require frame-perfect inputs!
Some rooms require obscure SMW mechanics, so you may get stuck if you are not experienced with glitch hacks (or even if you are!).
To help new and seasoned players understand how to clear each room, I have developed state-of-the-art "FIO" Technology (Figure-It-Oot):
Press the SELECT button in any room to reveal text & graphics that explain how to beat the room.
There is also a companion video guide hosted here: https://derv.us/Guide.html
The video guide contains:
* A thumbnail for each room,
* A short video illustrating how to beat the room,
* An explanation of the mechanics in use,
* A step-by-step guide on how to beat the room.
* Tips for making the setups more consistent.
The hack is "Mostly-Vanilla" due to some noticeable quality-of-life patches:
* Retry System (fast prompt, not auto-retry)
* Player X Speed Fix (reduces speed oscillation jank)
There's also a banging soundtrack (borrowed from SMWCentral's enormous library) and custom pixel art which also make this hack not "feel" vanilla either.
You may find hard-to-reach 3-Up Moons in a few rooms -- these moons are for an additional challenge but are not required.
Good luck, and I hope you have fun in Brave New World!
