A Super Mario ROM Hack aggregator/archive thing
EZ Kaizo
Welcome to my first hack!
This hack is intended to be an introduction for early beginners, with a few special bits thrown in for more experienced players. My goal in creating this was to create a hack to take on immediately after Learn 2 Kaizo.
Sections are very short, with a focus on trick performance. This hack will allow the player to perform shell jumps (including an assisted double shell jump), light cape tech (with more advanced optional sections), and more! I attempted to create levels that focus on mechanics common to kaizo.
There are 5 different intended challenges:
-
Any% route, which is 10 exits
-
8 moons, which is collecting the moon in each of the any% levels. You should try to get to a midway or final goal without dying after collecting the moon!
-
100%, which is 15 exits, and gives you credits
-
11 moons, which is collecting all the main moons in the 15 exits
-
13 moons, which includes the two secret moon challenge rooms in the special world
My goal is that 1 & 3 are easier than quickie, 2 & 4 approach quickie, and 5 is probably around ako but with shorter levels.
There is more detail in the readme, including specific Learning to Fly levels that will help you in the cape challenges for acheiving challenge 5.
While I think the name is correct, please do not be discouraged if you find this difficult. Any kaizo is tough, and while this hopefully represents an early step for beginners, it is still supposed to present a challenge. Advanced players, I hope you have fun playing this as well, but keep in mind the intended audience!
Screenshots include a lot of spoilers bc I want to give new players an idea of what to expect! Screenshots 2-10 are all part of the any% route, the next 10 are optional parts (100% route and bonus moons), and the final is just a finished main map including a 100% level.

GENERAL
Thanks for downloading! This is my first hack, I hope you like!
There are 5 different intended challenges in this version:
1) Any% route, which is 10 exits
2) 8 moons, which is collecting the moon in each of the any% levels that have one (none in switchin bitchin or yikestree)
3) 100%, which is 15 exits, and gives you credits
4) 11 moons, which is collecting all the main moons in the 15 exits (none in let's fly as well as above)
5) 13 moons, which includes the two secret moon levels in the special world (fairly difficult)
My goal is that 1 & 3 are easier than quickie, 2 & 4 approach quickie, and 5 is probably around ako but with shorter levels. 5 is not recommended unless you have played most of learning to fly in addition to learn 2 kaizo!
Specific Learning to Fly levels you should play before you attempt all the flying challenges (especially the bonus moon):
Bouncing on Sprites (4)
Assisted Sticky Fly (4)
Natural Sticky Fly (5)
Air Catches (6)
