A Super Mario ROM Hack aggregator/archive thing

The Dimensional Castle Starring Aeron

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

Originally submitted as an entry to the Questionable Level Design Contest #3, The Dimensional Castle started as a personal challenge.

How fast I could make a very hard short adventure? And thus, this hack was born.

After the events of Aeron’s Golden Cookie Quest and Ganbare Aeron (work in progress, I know…), our goofy magician embarks on a new adventure once again. Many strong foes and traps await Aeron inside The Dimensional Castle. But you’re not alone, trustful allies will also be there to give you motivation to keep going further. Can you defeat the source of evil behind the hellish stronghold?

What you can expect from this hack:

  • Ruthless foes;
  • Tight platforming;
  • Questionable level design choices;
  • Worldbuilding;
  • A E S T H E T I C S ;
  • Diverse selection of NPCs;
  • A varied bizarre soundtrack;
  • Cutscenes;
  • Wacky storytelling;
  • Jokes;
  • Various quality of life changes;
  • “Instant” Instant Retry (like the one seen in Boxman Tano);

Compared to the contest version, this one includes additional content, such as:

  • Rebalanced level design;
  • Unlockable rewards;
  • Even more fun NPCs;
  • Challenging hidden areas;
  • Reworked title screen;
  • Expanded intro sequence;

While I’m aware this project has a lot of intentional infuriating design choices and painful moments, inspired mainly by my experiences with Brandish (SNES) and the Castlevania series, I do hope that people can still have fun playing this silly hack of mine.

And this is my questionable experiment! Cheers!

Known Issues.txt

ASM Stuff:

- Zinger's hitboxes are smaller than their graphics;
  - They might X flip for a few seconds if the player takes the damage;
  
- Bone Bros might spawn weird during the first visit in one of the secret rooms;
  - Their spawn is fixed afterwards when instant retry kicks in;
  
- Lobsters can be hard to spinriding while using cape, it's very janky;

- A small delay occurs when changing songs using the boombox;

- Crouch jumping through gaps is weird in any level with the "Castlevania gimmick";

- Your jump might get eaten after landing in a dolphin (I think it's vanilla);

Aesthetics stuff:

- A v-blank line might appear during the Nintendo Presents;

- The b4vwf might delete some sprite graphics while it's active. The game fixes itself afterwards;

- The note block bouncing sprite graphics in Brazil are garbled;

- The treasure chest in a secret area might look weird due to the sprite mist in the room;

Minimalist Strategy Guide.txt

"The Four Thwomp Bosses are too hard!"

Try to not rely in the hardest strat: spinriding on them. 
There's a very high chance you'll end killing the soccer balls
and end annoyed as result. Not my problem.

"Where are the other two exits and the extra content?"

- Refer to haiku 01 and 02 in Chateau Oldenwing;

The rest is up for you to figure out. Good luck; :)
