Shell's Redeemer

Super Mario World Hacks → Shell's Redeemer

Submission Details

Name: Shell's Redeemer
Author: Cartesius
Added:
Demo: No
Hall of Fame: No
Length: 12 exit(s)
Type: Kaizo: Intermediate
Description: Welcome folks, this is the long awaited sequel to the beloved (eh) Shell's Retriever

This is a kaizo hack that is entirely based on shell jumps and shell tricks that connect with each other until the level ends. There's almost no ground for you to stand on, only shells, koopas and other enemies. There are some cool custom ASM gimmicks throughout the hack that makes it less repetitive and add a unique style to the levels

In comparison to its predecessor, this hack is a bit harder. So if you are in the beginning of your kaizo journey, you might wanna play Shell's Retriever first and come to this later. Also, some of the setups have some puzzley characteristics, so figuring out how to do them is going to be more challenging than a typical shell jump setup you might be used to.

There are 3 Special levels, 2 of which are very difficult, much harder than the rest of the game. I made those levels for more experienced players who are looking for a more serious challenge.

Be prepared for missing shell jumps in 2020 (or whatever year you're playing this)

Note: This hack was not supposed to have an overworld but I couldn't get the No Overworld UberASM to work :(

It’s a great sequel to Retriever with great levels throughout. In particular I liked how well cape city flowed as a whole. Awesome hack keep up the good work & I hope to see a trilogy one day. Thanks Cartesuis. Very Easy 5*

There is not much to say... This Hack is awesome!
All levels had it's each style and were all pretty good. Especially the final any% Level and the level before were dope! This is a well made sequel of Shells Retriever; a little bit harder but improved a lot! 5/5 Stars

jankiness should never ever be a factor of difficulty, unless it's a joke hack.

Awesome hack, the levels flows really well and the setup are interesting

I don't understand how there are people who criticize this hack. It seems that his finger trembled when playing.
This hack is sensational, it is certainly one of the best shell hacks I have ever seen, if not the best. I don't have another grade to give if it's not 5/5. I give 5/5 with great pride. CONGRATULATIONS Cartesius. Good job.

What is the deal with "Noob" commenting with ridiculous, non-constructive criticism all over the place? Criticizing a shell hack for having shells and 1F0s? Seriously? The hack is called "Shell's Redeemer." The second sentence in the description is "This is a kaizo hack that is entirely based on shell jumps and shell tricks that connect with each other until the level ends." I don't quite understand what your problem is with 1F0, but they are in several screen shots, including the first one that automatically displays.

No one is making you play this. If shells and 1F0s aren't your thing, just skip this hack. This hack is very, very clear with what it is, and what it is about. I'm sure you can find plenty of old school hacks without 1F0s and shell tricks to play on your smartphone.

It was a blast playing through this hack #smrpg{:D}. All the levels were really creative and really fun. I enjoyed Shell's Retriever a lot but this sequel was more fun and the setups were more original. Thank you a lot for making this Hack !

Imagine playing a shell hack and complaining that there are shells.

Glad the overworld is there. I like to revisit stages I like.

Awesome shell hack :)
TDWarrior Link
I had a ton of fun, absolutely loved crystal caverns and the final any% level.

That was a lot of fun, great job! #smrpg{:D}

But one thing i'd say is that the volume of some songs are really off plus 2 random ass vanilla tracks felt extremely out of place

Cartesius, mais uma hack de sucesso. Parabéns, estou surtando demais jogando, mas adorando hehe...
SethOsDotEXE Link
This is a very fun and well done hack that has lots of shell jumps and other shell tricks. I really enjoyed shells retriever and I have to say this hack is a big improvement with the addition of cool custom gimmicks and a higher difficulty.

Good job Cartesius

Eu não sou tão fã de muitos shell jumps, mas depois de 5 levels, vi a variedade do que é possível fazer com shells, mesclando com outros inimigos e resultando em algo divertido e desafiador. Estou gostando muito da hack Cartesius, parabéns pelo seu trabalho.

Sabe Noob, não é a primeira vez que você comenta uma opinião sua disfarçada de crítica construtiva. Sinceramente os tempos mudaram e você achar que as hacks hoje em dia estão automáticas não chega a ser um problema. É simplesmente você jogar o material antigo e ser feliz. Não tem como agradar a todos, mas você dizer que a hack é ruim porque não gostou ou pq "as hacks de hoje em dia perderam a magia" é muita prepotência. Não menospreze o trabalho do criador, sendo que você não é o público alvo. Ninguém forçou você a jogar.

Unfortunately, this shell hack with "shell" in its name, that is the sequel to a hack based entirely on shells, and a description that says "this is a kaizo hack that is entirely based on shell jumps and shell tricks" has a lot of shells, 4/10.

I am very much looking forward to playing this hack. Shell's Retriever holds a special place in my heart, it was my first shell hack, it was a heck of a grind for me, but I learned so, so much from it. I have greatly improved as a kaizo and shell player since then, I am very much looking forward to the more challenging sequel.

It sounds like your criticism "for the author to improve in a next work" is to not make hacks with 1f0 and shells. That's just what this hack is about, no one is forcing you to play it, and frankly I don't think you should give non-constructive, negative feedback to a creator who assuredly poured hundreds of hours into creating this game. Just my two cents.

I really enjoyed this hack. I thought there were a lot of innovative setups and ideas that were explored well. I'm glad that you're comfortable creating in your style.

If you aren't going to play, then why comment? It's easy to critique the work of others just by looking at it. You have the right to not like some hacks, but not the one to reduce others work to nothing. "I'm not going to play!" ain't necessary at all, does not bring nothing to the conversation.

If you want to critique, at least give it a chance. You can dislike the setups, whatever, but making this kind of commentary, judging something just by looking is not fair.
I said I wouldn't play this again ... I wrote it wrong . To say that I did not play this, so please say something you are sure of ... lol ... I am not many a fan of hacks with excessive shells ... I just said what I found when I played ... and that's it ... massive 1f0, many hoof tricks (some innovative, but not so much) and sprites stopped at 1f0 ...
to be quite honest, these hacks today are very automatic, one thing goes after another ... lost that magic of Kaizo Mario World, of which you had janky as another factor of difficulty ...
It is a criticism, yes, but, for the author to improve in a next work ... I still give 4 stars for the creativity of the phases that did not have many 1f0.

I dunno, I had a blast playing this. I dig shells. I think it was a great follow up to Retriever. Thanks for puttin this out there Cartesius. #smw{:peace:}

Imgaine writing a comment so someone saying their hack is not innovative and you're not going to play it lmao. Keep your comments to yourself it you're just going to be negative and not give constructive criticism. Not to mention the "I'm not going to play this" is so unnecessary.
GiraffeKiller Link
I was just getting ready to clear Shells Retriever RTA so this comes at a great time. Looking forward to playing this very soon.
 Alex Link
I'm disagree with previous comments. I like shell gimmicks and if you bring that to a next difficulty level, it is perfectly cool to me. Nice job Cartesius!

tfw Noob doesn't want to play your hack #smrpg{sad}
