We're more close to the end of the hacks, let's see how this one ends up

Gameplay:
This is another of the standard hacks, this means it controls like your usual Mario World. The story? you must find 4 switches and idk, get to the special world and beat the final boss because lol ecks di or something

Levels:
the hack is divided in 6 worlds or so and a special one, upon entering the first level you can choose in the middle what path you want to take, there's 3 of them but you can acces 2 only until you find every switch. First level is your usual grassy level, depending the world you end up depends in what pipe/exit you take, i started with a candy themed world and it was a nice theme change from desert, ice and that generic stuff, but it only lasts for this world, later worlds return to the usual generic locals, some levels spice things up with custom graphics but that's basically it. Levels are pretty straightforward and not too bad, balanced in terms of challenge and kinda enjoyable, and every tower has a boss, but these are dissapointing, it's the N00b boss, a pretty old boss but SMWC doesn't have much of cool bosses we haven't seen to death so eh

Music:
The hack like the majority of entries so far has a varied selection of music, some good, some decen and hooded edge music, i'll be honest here, im sick of the "COME ON" shit in hooded edge ports, not to mention the overuse of megaman/touhou style, thankfully these are minimum here so THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Graphics:
Graphically the hack is a mix bag for me, in one hand the hack looks good and does a good job representing the locals but in the other, some graphics doesn't click with me, just like i said in "Mario Jam", i don't know why but these graphics just don't do well with me

Conclusion:
Another standard good hack, i liked the "Pick" a path in the overworld, but as i just speed up through the levels i didn't pay much attention to it, still, this is a good hack
7/10
