I would recommend this to players who want to try harder romhacks but aren't quite ready for kaizo challenges. Gets pretty difficult without feeling cheap (most of the time). Early courses like the Whomp block fort do a great job teaching the kind of movement that will be necessary later on. The difficulty curve is mostly fine, but some of the later courses (not counting the extra challenge course 15) do get a little carried away with crazy wall jumps, timed block platforming, and tons of instant death pits.

The Bowser stage especially got somewhat exhausting, being a pretty long gauntlet where just about every obstacle is an instant death hazard, topped off with a pretty underwhelming Bowser fight that's actually easier than the vanilla game's final Bowser.

Overall though, a fun, difficult romhack that never gets too aggravating, but is brought down a little bit by a few of its later courses. I was able to get 121 stars before it became a bit too much for me.

Really fun, quality Romhack! Lots of level diversity, good challenges, nice music, and includes some cool custom objects / platforms!

The "Casual" label in the description is pretty inaccurate though, and you'll feel that as early as Course 2 if you're going for all the stars. The difficulty aligns a lot with SM74, though I found this one more challenging overall, especially the last couple courses. I think "Medium-Hard" or "Hard" is a more fitting label depending on if you're trying to 100% it or not!

Thanks for porting this one to Coop Deluxe! I enjoyed it a lot!

This ROM hack is one of the best I'm playing. I reported a bug that prevented me from passing a course, but it was quickly resolved. I'm glad you fixed it, and I apologize for the way I spoke; I was really angry that I couldn't progress. I've re-rated it with 5 stars :D
Be careful who is doing the play testing.

Glad that You enjoyed this I recommend you trying New Star its very similar to this hack might be easier but very similar in a way if you enjoyed you likely would enjoy that I can't tell if that hack is easier but you can submit a review if you want also a long hack.

In the last course, there's a point where you get stuck and can't do anything. I played the whole hack and it's very good, but this port hasn't been proofread. I recommend proofreading and testing before posting thousands of flawed hacks.

I'm deeply sorry this happened to you, it breaks My heart that's its now rated 1 star. But don't Worry in the Latest update I fixed The Issue and replaced the red block with the metal box. I didn't really test my ported hack I friend mine Did and said it was all perfect and then I said OK then I released it. Since I was busy in that day to play test my own Ported hack. If this new version resolve the issue, please let me know. I want this be Rated at least 4 or 5 stars I tried my best to make it spotless bug issues. @Passagem Secreta 64 this was the only hack that I sure that was impossible the rest was all possible to Play I believe so far.
