[REMOVED] Real Mario - CidYoshi

Review:
I'm going to be honest in this review, so I'm sorry if in any time of this review I sound very harsh. This hack looked like a joke one when I first played it. I understand that it's probably your first hack but you still need to learn more about making a hack because you didn't start bad on hacking, but need to improve more your skills.

The level design of the hack; It's very inconsistent, with weird variety and sometimes pretty unfair. I do realise it's a hard hack, but this is a bit too hard to play. Most of time I could've died unfairly because of silent bullet bills, sprites that didn't work most of time. Not to mention large cutoffs you could've avoided on your levels. The palettes were eye-searing. Most of them confused me during the gameplay, didn't fit with the aesthetics of the levels and most of them looked like palettes used in joke hacks. No offense there, but it's true. And please, don't use floating and/or stacked munchers in your hack.

Glitchy sprites ahead! Most of time I saw glitchy sprites with bad graphics, levels with sprite header set wrong so the sprites didn't work at all and looked very bad. This is an issue that could've been totally avoided in the hack, it's one of the worse points while I was playing it, sorry for being harsh about it, again, this must be your first hack.

This video shows many things you could've avoided in your hack, so I'll recommend you to watch it for now. As well I recommend you to get beta-testers for your hack in case you're considering to fix everything from this review. If this is your first hack, I can say you have potential for hacking, but still need to learn more about it.

Verdict:
I'm sorry for saying this, but I'd have to remove your hack in this case. Eventually, let's see what the userbase thinks about your hack and we can get a better verdict about it.

This is probably one of those first-time hacks (I remember commenting on this hack a few months ago). Pretty obvious it needs rejecting since I don't see how it can be improved in any way. It would be better for the creator to start a fresh hack as this hack features horrible palettes, cutoff and most other horrible things a hack of this type would have. I am also sure that everyone will unanimously approve the removal of this hack.

Also Mirann can't you remove hacks from the new hack section?

Yes, I can.

But first I'd like to get more 2~3 posts of the userbase and see what they think about the hack -- I know it's kinda obvious the hack would be rejected, but it'd be better to see if people think the same as me about the hack, so let's wait a little bit.
Going to be a bit harsh here...

This hack had either inconsistent or very repetitive level design, including a full screen of big Mario discrimination. Most palettes were way too bright, and didn't go well with turn/cement block spammage. Like Everest said, it'd be better to just start a new hack without the problems I mentioned than continue with this, and I feel this one should be rejected.

Usually inactive/procrastinating on a hack idea.
Where do I start... I'm still recovering from a good bit of shock here. Put simply, this needs work. Lots of it.

I'll start with the title screen. This hack has just about every abuse of the title screen editor that you can cram into one hack -- "Super Mario World" letter rearrangement, use of the wrong font (along with one letter from the right one, oddly enough)... The list goes on. As for the level being showcased on the title screen, it's obviously a blatant edit of the original one. Cutoff abounds as well.

The intro message is no better either -- the text would still only barely make sense even if all the typos and grammar errors it has were fixed. This trend, unsurprisingly enough, continues into other message boxes in the game.

The rest of the hack is really no better. There are bad palettes, misuse of objects, unfair placement of sprites and munchers, and of course, my pet peeve -- cement block spam.

In the end, I really don't see much of a way that this hack could get better. I'm with the others -- just start over.

tired: 'JOYCON BOYZ'
wired: 'The Fellowship of the Switch'
Final Verdict:
Yeah, I'm very sorry, but considering the general opinion of the userbase the hack will be rejected.
