Part 4: Jumping from the Top

After i finished World 3 i continued the left path, not realizing it was part of W4, so i left Castle 3 uncleared. Anyway let's start with the first branch

-w4-1 Day of the Parabeetles: Starting the mountain side with a mountain top stage, and with Cave Story music no less, the stage main focus are these flying enemies from SMB3 and mashers reskined as brambles ala DKC2 to create a more dangerous scenario. This stage was good, very good
-w4-2 Kusoge Course: Do you like The Lost Levels? Well you better do because this stage is a semi homage to that game, the good news is that this stage is short. design wise it's... serviceable, it's an ok stage, a difficult one but nothing too hard
-w4-3 Windy Warship: An airship level, when i first saw the little airship in the map i thought it was a transportation sprite but it was a stage. The gimmick of this one are roto/waffles disc and pushing air, the challenge here is good and fair, aside for one blind jump but that's minor. Good stage
-w4-4 Biting Cold: Remember the wheater stage of Banjo tooie? me neither, never played it, but there was a stage that changed from Ice to Fire supposedly, not sure if it's the same concept, still, this is something i have seen before in some hacks, this stage is pretty much that, a stage made of ice and fire that changes depending on the doors you take, it's simple but it's a good idea. good level
-w4-5 BUMP to the Top!: A vertical level, it can be dangerous to slip up from the top. The stage makes use of the Bumpty enemy drom YI, as well as the rotating platforms, it's a good combo to screw players jumps. Despite everything i said, this stage is not hard at all, you only need to watch your jumps. Good level
-w4-6 A Layer 2 On My Heart: This stage has a 2010 aura around it with that track it uses, it reminds me to these old hacks and some videos of "Someguy712x". The level itself is hard, specially when it makes you bounce on Grinders and Saws while you wait for the platform to rise, it can be a bit tedious but it's tolerable, and the second half felt more easy compared to the first one. Decent level
-w4-A Krab's Koin Kontest: Yet another level that uses the "K" acronym. This level can be annoying in one specific section alone, the good thing is that it's right after the midpoint and not at the end. The level forces you to be cautious about the coins you have, and everything is calculated so there's no room for error. Man this stage sure was something, decent stage
-w4-Palace Freshly Grown Green Switch Palace: Not sure why i jumped to the left at the start. Dude weed. This level reminds me to "Summit of the gods" minus the absurd lenght and bullshit of it, it's tricky but tolerable. Good stage
-w4-6 Moot Gayden: I expected this one to be more harder but it wasn't not at all at least. also, -Hooded edge port, why? Overall a good challenging level, it can be tricky to traverse with the hammer bros but it's not that bad. I also like the graphic changes to the vanilla ones of Ninja Gaiden
-w4-7 Tricky Treasure: This one is like that SM3DW stage where the flag runs away, not much to say, the corridors are tight but tolerable. good level
-w4-8 Defiance: this level is strange, aesthetically speaking the level is kinda good? it's all black with the Fg being the one that has the background. Design wise it's... not very good, but not bad either, it's like if a newbie made a stage for the first time, and that's all i can say. Just ok
-w4-B Peak of Delusions: This stage hides a star level, so it's HARD as FUCK, it's a trial and error stage too so be ready to grind for hours. This one has a lot of ways to traverse, specially for the v coins, the challenge here it's alright, i liked the stage despite these types of stage not being my thing. Very good
-w3-Castle The Virgin's Asset Flip Castle: Castle i left unfinished last video. This one is a remix of some levels from World 3, the boss was good and fast, the music choice for the level it's weird but whatever. Overall a decent castle
-w4-Castle Perma Ban /f/ortress: This castle was fucking good, i had a dumb smile seeing all those levels from previous v hacks, and the aesthetic of the level it's... it's just so GOOD. Excellent level
