A Super Mario ROM Hack aggregator/archive thing
Cosmic Expedition
This is my second hack. after two years of creating and learning a lot I’ve finally finished it!
this is an expert hack focused on fast-paced platforming and item tricks. You’ll find wide range of setups using classic kaizo techniques, platforming, chocolate gimmicks, item juggling and cape mechanics. There are some usual shell tricks throughout.
Recommended for kaizo players with a solid understanding of these mechanics. The difficulty is comparable to hacks like, things.smc, Jigoku, Darkstar, Storks and Gpw series. This isn’t a short kaizo hack, so I recommend play taking breaks if needed. CP are saved on OW
This Hack Features: -A short space lore -Custom blocks, asm, music, gfx, sprites, bosses, Quality-life patches. -A blend of old-school vanilla and modern chocolate kaizo design -45 Exits including secret exits, switch palaces, a little puzzle and hints throughout the game.(it’s not necessary find all the hints for solve puzzle, are just clues) -two endings: any% and good ending (100%) to reach the good ending, you must complete all levels and beat the final castle in the Special World. The credits count as an exit.

Hints if you get stuck in puzzle.txt
these levels have secrets: El Xibalba, Tzompantli,Mental Forest, Snowhead Region, Aurora Borealis, Sunset Times.
How to solve the puzzle:
Each Switch Palace has two colors: one outside on the Overworld and one inside the level. The correct color is the one inside. You need to determine the logical sequence of correct and incorrect colors only for the first three Switch Palaces.
If you didn't figure out, in the coordinates room there's the correct order of the colors hidden.
Once you have the correct color sequence, you'll get some coordinates. Use those coordinates to find a place in space. now you have a place, That location is the center of a galaxy— figure out which galaxy it is.
The name of the galaxy is the answer you need to enter on the inputs screen.
That's it!
