An extremelly awesome mini hack with a bunch of fun and unique gimmicks!
In addition, the 3 caps have been customized to have different behaviours than normal. Each one of them has a simple tutorial star associated.?
-Firsty Cap: Every WK you do is automatically a firsty!
-Burn Cap: Pressing B makes Mario get instantly burned, useful to get up slopes!
-Quicksand Cap: Makes Mario invulnerable to quicksand!
As for the main course itself, Star 1 and Star 3 (red coins) are the most straight-forward ones, good to get familiar with the moving parts sections.
Star 2 can be tricky at first. It makes you combine the powers of the 3 caps! Sadly this is the only instance in this level where you're required to use them (I'd love seeing them implemented in future hacks).
Star 4 introduces levitation. It activates as you touch the star dusts and only deactivates when you reach a ceiling, which I think was a pretty original idea!
Star 5 was my favorite as a whole: Pillars puzzle, moving quicksand platforms and the neat slow down/night effect, this one has it all!
Star 6 is also really cool and probably the hardest as well. Very interesting use of custom flipping platforms.
To finish it all there's the Bowser fight, which is a SM64 version of bullet-hell games and one of the most unique ROM hack boss battles ever created.
Each color (7 total) represents a diferent fire pattern and each comes in a easy and then harder version, for a total of 14 phases! If you manage to survive all of that there's the final phase in which you need to press the switches to finally defeat Bowser. The key to success is knowing where to stay in the arena to best avoid each pattern.
I can't even begin to describe all the cool stuff (and easter eggs) that this hack offers so I'll just conclude with my appeal for you to download it, play it and hopefully have a blast like I did! Do it now!
