After I made my old kaizo hack, Horrifying Mario Word, I noticed that there were a lot of people who had trouble beating it because it was too difficult, while experienced kaizo players were able to beat it easily. I think the only way to appeal to both beginner and expert kaizo players is by making a savestateless hack.
What this means is that savestates are not required, but may be used if you simply aren't that good at kaizo hacks. People who who play a lot will find it challenging without savestates, but certainly possible.
The hack is sorted according to difficulty. The special world of this hack will be a big challenge for a lot of people.
Banzai Mario World isn't finished yet, but here are some level screenshots.
(I didn't make any sprites; credit will be given)
This level revolves around a gimmick where you can jump twice.
Most levels will contain a midway point to make things easier.
This is one of a few puzzle levels in the hack.
Another gimmicky level; this one has an air meter and is pretty self explanatory.
An ice cave level.
This level revolves around the continuously walking sprite.
This is another gimmick level; the level wraps horizontally.
This is one of the easier levels. You can only jump when you get a coin. It may be the first level in the game, since the player will start out with 0 coins.
Another pretty simple level.
This level is called "Move slower pokey". I just hexedited the pokeys to move much faster.
