Mario: The Curse of King Boo










This is a vanilla hack with some Kaizo-style gameplay, but designed to be easier than most Kaizo games. Still a good challenge but not completely unforgiving. Also a good game for new players as all the tricks and gimmicks used in the game are taught to the player.
Designed around a narrative with some cryptic puzzles sprinkled in so look out for clues!
Uses custom music, retry system, and unlimited lives. Inspired by Grand Poo World 1 and 2

This is a vanilla hack with some Kaizo aspects but with the intention of being an easier experience.
I've classified this hack as Kaizo:Light mainly due to some game mechanics that have been popularized in Kaizo games
that would be foreign or out of place to casual players, however this games is pretty easy compared to most Kaizo hacks.
Most of the platforming has minor puzzle aspects to it and some levels may invovle some trial and error,
but I've tried to keep insanely tight and uncomfortable platforming to a minimum; the stages are challenging
but not completely unforgiving.
Many stages can be completed on your first try if you are skilled enough, and the game was designed
to be more fun than difficult. (not to say grindy hacks aren't fun but thats not what i was going for here)
This hack has a steady difficulty progression and was designed with the intention that even a beginner player could complete it
without any prior knowledge of Kaizo tech or gameplay tropes, albeit with some practice. Everything you need to know is taught to you in-game.
I built the game around a small narrative, its nothing special but more than you get in a typical 2D Mario game.
There are also some CRYPTIC PUZZLES that you'll run into throughout the game so keep in mind anything you see
that seems out of the ordinary, this could be a CLUE for later on!
I've included CUSTOM MUSIC, RETRY SYSTEM, INFINITE LIVES and SAVES AFTER EVERY STAGE to make the experience as
enjoyable and streamlined as possible! n_n
Good Luck and Have Fun! :D
