Mario has fallen deep into The Underground.

Explore an lore-driven kaizo hack carefully crafted with interspersed custom and vanilla elements.
The Underground will be a challenge to many players, but focuses on fun and consistent platforming
to attempt to be accessible and enjoyable to anyone with kaizo experience who picks it up. 

I make no apologies. The Underground is difficult and precise at times, but I strove to make
a hack that rewards the player for their effort. I believe that something as difficult as The Underground
must be designed to reward the player for following the steps. A brilliant symphony's sonic glory rewards
the musicians who practiced and rehearsed, a delicious dish rewards the patient chef's experimentation.
Be it the satisfaction of executing impressive visual tricks, the achievement of optimizing and making
yourself more skilled at controlling Mario, or the joy when you cross the goal tape.
Chase after your dreams and never turn back.


This hack features 11 exits filled with secrets to discover, bosses, cape, custom music, top-down
designed levels, custom graphics, regrabs, and custom behavior. I believe that the creative method
does not create from nothing. This hack is inspired by a slew of incredible games and works of art that
came before me. Throughout the hack, astute players will find obstacles and levels in homage to other
games, such as Grand Poo World 2, Storks and Apes and Crocodiles, Kaizo Mario World, Super Dram World,
and many more.

Newer players are recommended to avoid the secret exits, which prove to be more challenging than the normal
exits.
