The Amazing Autowalk Adventure

Released:
By: XHF01x
Found on: smwc
Difficulty: 10

The Amazing Autowalk Adventure is an autowalk Kaizo hack, where the levels are somewhat synchonized to the music. The levels are fairly long (the shortest level takes 52 seconds) and feature no checkpoints whatsoever (at least outside practice mode, see below). While most setups are individually rather doable, this still leads to this hack being quite difficult even in the earlier levels.

The Amazing Autowalk Adventure features an open overworld and every level is accessible from the start. This was done to give the player an opportunity to try out a different level whenever they get stuck or just don’t like a level for whatever reason.

A main feature of this hack is the built-in practice mode, which allows you to practice every level segment-wise. Due to the aforementioned high level length, usage of the practice mode is strongly recommended for anyone trying to play this hack. In fact, I’d suggest playing the hack in practice mode first and only deciding afterwards if clearing some levels in normal mode seems like something you’d be interested in.

Also, if you want to look at the levels being played before trying this out yourself, here’s a link to a clear video: https://youtu.be/AklW09RK9uw

(Note: This version has been updated from the original C3 release. SRAM files should be compatible between versions.)
