Krack The Hack is a 2019 rom hack made by Daizo Dee Von (me!) and Mellonpizza focusing on a recently-transformed Koopa named "Krack" in search of keys to free his entire army from Bowser. It consists of 14 stages; nine in the main game, two that can be unlocked, and three in the postgame. Most levels has a certain amount of keys that are required to be collected, so they have a different scale of non-linearity. Each level also has both secret moons and achievements, the latter requiring the player to preform something very specific in order to achieve them.
This level...went through a few changes. The first variant of the level did make it into the final game, which is actually during the postgame final level, but this is a second variation that not only got expanded but also (thanks to mellonpizza) had brand new mechanics implemented which includes the second set of keys. There are 8 keys, and the "state" of the level changes every 4 you collect. This is definitely the first stage that really bends the "rules" Krack The Hack establishes up to this point, though as a result it is linear.
Another big change is the song being changed. The original song that was used is from my 2014 Halloween Level Design Contest entry, but was later switched to "3x3 Eyes: Seima Kourinden - 999" since it fit a lot more and was more atmospheric mid-way into development. After release, juzcook discovered a very nasty audio bug with Super NT where the song is completely static and blarring. That's why it is now "Donkey Kong Country - Cave Dweller Concert", for as generic of a choice as it was. Oh it's still a good song, it fits just as well, I just like highlighting more obscure games.
The stage and the gimmick of the level completely changes once the first set of keys are collected. Earlier versions didn't have a midpoint, so mellon helped not only have midpoints compatible but also coded it so the first three keys are pre-collected and removed. The minecarts become active and start moving forward in incredible speeds with "ActRaiser - The Beast Appears" playing in the background. THIS song I'm happy I kept! So the moving floors become instant death and it's up to you to trek backwards.
As for the moon, there is a "Lunar Hint" on it's whereabouts but it's literally on the top left hand corner. The thing that's especially evil is it's the exact same palette as the background.
The achievement is to collect every coin and key in the same run. Midpoints won't work since some coins cannot be collected since they'll be locked out.
