So it has been awhile since I completed the hack and I would like to leave my final thoughts about it.
I went into this hack, not knowing what I was going to expect, since it was the first hack I played in many years. I was very impressed with the hack as a whole. The beginning was very simple with the changes, but as I got more into the game, I was impressed with what I was seeing.
The level difficulty was usually very fair. With the exception of one level, all of the deaths were my own fault.
The bosses are interesting in both attack patterns and difficulty. In some, they were a little easy and others were brutal. It could be my lack of practice with SMW. Even the most difficult boss was very fun to fight. I wont go into detail about this next thing, but... that final boss. I'll leave it at that.
The biggest thing I repeated through my run of the game, the music. I don't hide it. I love video game music and this game... this game. Just... so damn good! <3 the music. Also, that's the only time I use a heart in a message, for that reason.
I highly recommend this hack to anyone. It is an enjoyable experience. Just be sure to use a compatible emulator (ZSNES works).
Great job with the hack!
