third entry of the hackjam, didn't have much expectatives with the name but that was just by reading the name, the game content itself, oh boi

Gameplay:
Unlike the previous 2 entries, this one has some gameplay changes, mainly in the different playable characters, yes, there is more than your regular plumber. You start as Toad, low jump but fast, it doesn't get used too much so don't get atached to him. Mario, your regular... well, Mario. Luigi, the floaty character with a double jump function that can break blocks from below, it doesn't feel right in general. Peach, as you may expected, she can float, that's about it, it can be handy in some sections. Daisy, my favorite character in the hack, her ability is a flutter jump that is very helpful, so if you can, go unlock her fast. Wario, the greedy funny apparition meem, as you guesed, his ability is a shoulder bash that can break blocks, it also can jump out of ledges when using the dash.
These are the main focus of the game, as you traverse 4 levels that make use of a few combinations of characters in addition to the standalone character unlock levels, so it ends feeling a bit short. while watching the footage again i realized i did one segment of "Peach" wrong, i was supposed to jump from the wiggler spring, not to try to carry it on, my bad.

Music:
The main theme of the gallery is from dream team, and the other themes resemble the character levels, example, for peach unlock level it plays a "Super Princess Peach" theme, for Wario the Wario Ware inc theme and so on, music in general is fitting for the levels

Graphics:
As with the previous entries, it's a mix of vanilla and custom graphics that add to the levels, nothing else to add.

Conclusion:
This was a pleasant hack to play, although it was a bit to short for my liking but oh well, it services, the control of 6 characters can be a bit of a problem but it's only noticeable in the final boss so this is a very good hack
8/10
