The Rock 'n' Roll Mario Show: Set 1

Version 1.1

A large number of changes have been made across nearly every level. With too many to list, I will simply say that most of the waiting in the game has been removed, and most of the utterly confusing tricks have been reworked to be more readable without making them strictly easier.

The most notable balance changes are across-the-board nerfs to the second half of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. While there was some consideration for removing the level entirely, enough players enjoyed it that I decided to keep it.

A few other quality of life changes have been implemented:

-Vertical section for Watcher of the Skies now has a more responsive camera -Comfortably Numb is now correctly marked with a red, 2-exit level -Ports updated to use correct octave for percussion tracks -Music now plays while paused, at half volume -Fixed message box errors in Jungle Strut and in Karn Evil 9 -LR Scroll has been properly disabled across all levels -Fixed a potential softlock at the end of the secret exit for Into the Fire -Fixed a bug where UghRochester wasn’t appearing in the credits

A big thanks to everyone who played the 1.0 version and gave crucial feedback. I hope you enjoy this updated version, and with any luck, I’ll see you all for Rock n Roll Set 2.

Stealth update: The overworld event for All Along the Watchtower has been updated to automatically save, instead of requiring the player to manually walk down to trigger the save. SU2: Players are no longer able to skip The Ocean. A few songs have had their volumes adjusted to match the rest of the game.

The Rock ’n’ Roll Mario Show is a Kaizo:Light hack that was inspired by my love for classic rock. Think of this as Riff World with a soundtrack. It is a hack of moderate difficulty; not too easy, not too rough.

Soundtrack features artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Genesis, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and more! All ports will be released alongside the hack.

There are 15 exits featuring the following:

Retry Removed HUD Midways saved on quit (I’m not sure why this happens, but it’s neat) Rock music ported specially for this hack No hidden kaizo blocks, singular OR plural A smattering of ASM and custom sprites, but not too much. This hack is 95% vanilla. 2 secret exits and 2 switch palaces (sort of, one of them isn’t a traditional switch palace level) 2 boss fights Lots of disco shells, which in this hack are acid shells, or ShellSD if you prefer.

Along with Riff World, this hack was inspired by the Grand Poo World series, Invictus, Sheffy World 2, and Bui Bui World. Expect a handful of trolls, all in good taste I assure you.

Thanks for checking out the hack. Good luck, have fun, and melt some faces!

Much love, Kaigem!
