Hey everybody! Here is Blaster Master: The Lost Key, a hack that I created with a (unfortunately limited) game editor, so it's not esthetically perfect and not as sharp as I wanted it to be. However, it's a very complete hack. All overworld and underworld maps were made from scratch, so you won't recognize the maps from the Vanilla versions. Don't bother trying to complete the areas in their original order as the hack was made to be a different maze on its own.

I highly recommend to any player to complete the original game before attempting to play Blaster Master: The Lost Key. The difficulty level of the hack and the time to complete it once we know where to go and what to do is essentially pretty much the same than for the original. The difference is that it requires more knowledge and that there are tricky parts that can be hard to understand for players who are not familiar with Blaster Master. So, expect to die more in this hack while you are learning than in the original game. However, it will get easier and easier as you learn.

Unlimited continues and an extra life (per continue) were added, so your experience will be more enjoyable in the long term process! I was also very generous with the items that you can pick along the way. I wanted the game to be challenging, but fun at the same time.

There are three different ways to end the game, and each of them has a price. The more upgrades that you get, the easier your path will be, but longer indeed! Now, can you find the Lost Key? Use everything that you can discover to your advantage! Use your brain. It'll be useful sooner or later! My advice? Take notes. Once you find some clues, combine them all together and you'll find the Lost Key! And if you don't mind about spoilers, my videos of both the shortest and longest runs are on YouTube. The videos show the answers, but not the clues. Cheers and good luck!
