All in all I found this to be a very playable and enjoyable game. Fortunately I didn't discover any game breaking glitches during the hour or two I took to play through it. I found this to be one of the less difficult ROMS out of all of the SMB1 hacks. Like for example I made it through each and every single level without warping, continuing or using save states at all my very first time playing the thing. Maybe it's the fact that I happen to be really good if not professional at Super Mario Bros. Word of advice to anyone playing this one the long way, save your many lives that you will accumulate until 8-5 because you'll most likely need some of them there in order to pass it and rescue the princess. Recommended for all skill levels despite being on the easy side.

The levels aren't terrible, but you can see remnants of the original level design in the game, so it could have been more creative. Powerups, coins, and lives are very abundant, perhaps to a fault if you want a challenge. Some levels felt samey, like I was getting deja vu. Nothing particularly difficult until world 8, which I'd say was actually very well designed and challenging, especially 8-5.

7-4 is bad. It's a maze castle with a completely stupid solution that makes no sense. I spent upwards of 10 lives trying every combination of paths until I looked up a video. It completely ruins the hack, you will not figure it out unless you look it up or sheer luck. I'm confused why the creator made it that way considering the rest of the hack is pretty easy.

Some checkpoints spawn you inside the ground. Not a huge deal but clearly not polished.

This definitely isn't a must play hack. Could be a lot worse but I've certainly played better. I don't think the averageness (and rare bull crap) justifies the few levels that were actually really good.

Honestly, I thought "the usual boring Level Design hack for 2 levels will come out and then lazily."

However, the hack hit me. He first: Completely updates the Level Design at all levels of the game, and it turned out to refresh the original.

Second: High-quality and eye-pleasing Graphics. It is both new, but also designed in the SMB style.

The third: Now the hack has 5 acts. To be honest, I haven't seen "new ideas" in hacks for a long time, or at least the introduction of something that others couldn't.

A good hack that refreshes the original and makes it even more enjoyable and in some way an "Original Product". It would have come out in 90, I would have bought it without hesitation.

Nice level design, nothing too crazy, just enjoyable. Feels pretty authentic to what the original was going for.

Amazing work, very original gameplay, graphics, it looks like it came originally from Nintendo, but it should have been done in the American NTSC version for everyone to enjoy! Thank you very much for the work!
