Comments: If you're looking for a hack that ping-pongs rapidly between being annoying and being a snoozefest, feel free to check out V1.2. It's a mostly vanilla hack that's full of long, flat sections of terrain flooded with 1-2 enemy types (seriously, check out the Gemini Doc Robot). Sometimes it'll be a walk in the park (Hard Man) but sometimes you'll run into painful spikes in difficulty (end of Snake Man's stage, mid section of Shadow Man's stage.) Since Rush Jet hasn't been altered and V1.2 hands out E-tanks like candy on Halloween, it's really not that challenging despite the amount of insta-death sections. Throw in some of the most boring, barely altered Castle stages, and V1.2 cements itself as a mostly rubbish affair.

This is well described as a medium difficulty hack.

Enemies appear in stages they didn't originally appear in (a big plus) and the stages are somewhat different from what they used to be.

Bosses have the same behavior but the rooms you fight them in are different. It was fun playing this!
