Hi! This has been my project the last year and a half. You might knew about it as EPIC, as I codenamed it that way in previous C3. It has finally been named!
Scary Bosses and Nice Sprites is a hack focused on both bosses and sprites, while still retaining a lot of platforming action. It contains some kaizo staples, such as complete power up starvation, but it also has a lot of standard elements, such as having more than one way to overcome setups. It is aimed at both experimented standard players and kaizo beginners as I feel the difficulty will be comfortable for both of them.
The hack features a total of 10 exits and 4 completely custom bosses (coded by me). Each level is focused around a sprite (the big majority of them are also completely new sprites coded by me, with some exceptions). I really, really want to thank all of the people that contributed to the project, via testing (there was a lot of testing due to the bosses being hard to balance, really) or otherwise.
Story: Bowser has summoned enemies from different dimensions to defeat Mario. Make sure to kick them out of the Mushroom Kingdom!
