This is an interesting one. I had just finished playing through Super Mario Bros 1 and the original Lost Levels, and was curious how a difficult rom hack with those physics would look like. That's how I stumbled upon the RetroAchievements page for this game, or to be exact, for the two Diego Bros games. I didn't record the first one because I didn't consider it interesting enough, however.

So yeah, this is a kaizo-like Super Mario Bros rom-hack! As you can see, the hack has two worlds, and all of the levels are decently short, being on a sped-up timer of 100. I wouldn't say it has great level design, but I enjoyed playing through it :)

Also, before anyone says I cheated due to the koopa not hurting me at 3:03, that is regular game behavior. You can check that yourself by having a power-up, taking damage on an enemy and following it, staying inside it. As long as you stay "inside of it", you won't take damage, which is pretty much what happened here.
