Great , but unhealthy and repetitiveTimaeus2016-02-05Version 1.0

Once again, the description doesn´t cover all the changes. He forgot to say about the new musics and soundtracks.

About the hack, it´s quite a great one. New musics, new graphics and colours, an easy/medium difficult, it also have castles that allows you to farm power-ups, yoshis, coins, lives, etc. That´s a great help, especially for newcomers.

Just as the title says, king boo is the main antagonist here, and you will fight him A LOOOOTTT in this game, with different musics per battle and minor changes between them.

Definitely the best part of the hack is the new musics. They are Awesome. It also includes musics that I listened first time from The Lost Adventure hacks (The BEST SMW hacks, at least to me) which made me happy, and the overworld musics are awesome as well. I loved them pretty much actually.

The problem here is the level design. Like I said, it have a easy/medium difficult from beginning to end, but the levels are VERY,VEEERYYYY repetitive. It feels like copy/paste. There is creative stuff (like THE LAST SECTION of the switch palaces. Those were creative, not the rest of it however), but I can easily count in my hands the number of creative sections. The repetitive levels degreeded the emotional to continue, even with those musics and all the power-up that the game gives to you (thumbs up for that).

Farming lives here is easy, since the is coins and the Star Coins are NOT hidden at all. If the star coin is not in front of you, it will be inside a pipe, nowhere else.

So yeah, if the levels were more creative and less copy/paste , it should be one of the best SMW hacks ever. It has awesome musics and colours and graphics, but with repetitive and unhealthy levels. Man, I wish that the Recommended options has a neutral option.

If you don´t care about levels, play it. If you want more personal and more creative stuff, try another hack. I do write review to some Awesome SMW hack so if you want a hint, you can read them.
