| A very technical achievement trophy of a hack | SkyLizardGirl | 2021-12-22 | Version 1.0 |
This hack is simply amazing. However it is a Kaizo hack, so vanilla players will of course lose their minds, rage quitting it quickly. It has many enhancements that are remarkable such as new playing and control mechanics.
Also wall jumping and the turtle shell bouncing off pipes when you hold it close to walls.
It is a technical achievement etc. - However because it is a Kaizo game, extremely difficult to play and solve. Players are cheated at getting to the end of the game like you normally would in any Mario 3 game. I would like to see the developer of this hack make a 'fully playable' Mario 3 Orb hack with using this whole engine in it, with 8 fully playable worlds, possibly a 9th if possible. I do think the level difficulty should have been more well balanced, easy at first and gets harder at the end would have made much more sense, however it is still a good beatable game, not impossible to learn. Yes I recommend players to try this, even if they can't beat the game, simply as a trophy to keep in their Mario ROMs collections. You never know, as you might get even better at playing Mario 3 just learning the new mechanics of this hack. | |||
| Just Astounding | spluurtaf | 2020-09-19 | Version 1.0 |
Maybe the most technically ingenious SMB3 hack ever made, at least of any that I've seen. Yes it is difficult, but coming from someone who barely knew what a shell jump was when they started, I think the sheer enjoyment and amazement of this hack will keep you coming back long enough to master it (besides, there are far more difficult Kaizos). | |||
| Not really worth playing | insectduel | 2020-09-09 | Version 1.0 |
I played the game and I rage-quitted on the second level. This hack is meant for the experienced players like MitchFirePower but I like the tutorials. | |||
