So I decided to take a look at the list and I found this little hack and decided to beat it because it looked cool. And honestly, it ended up being kind of fun. The main challenge here is understanding how the jumps work. There's 4 paths: A somewhat traditional wallkick one with a couple retriable firsties at the end, a weird one with a lot of asta tjs, one which abuses lavabounce vsc and one where you literally can't die at all.

The path I did first (the wallkick one) isn't actually the easiest one imo, but I decided to start out with it since starting every attempt with the actual hardest path, which has a literal gwk as it's first jump, would've probably driven me crazy. Anyways, that path was next, and it featured a few really weird triple jumps, but I was able to get consistent at those. The third path I did was the cave aka. the path where you can't really die, it's really just a maze and 2 firsties. And then, the final path wasn't too bad once I discovered a decently consistent setup for the vcs, but the final asta tj was still insanely nerve wracking, and I ended up dying to the vsc twice and to the asta tj once.

Anyways, this star probably took me about 3 hours, but I could've definitely had it in 1 if I didn't choke the final path thrice. And honestly, even if this star looks awful to play, the star is still pretty fun and I'd recommend this hack to you if you're looking for a hack which abuses some mechanics which you normally wouldn't want to see in a kaizo hack.
