Description: | Long time player, first time hacker. This was made for germdove. It's lite-kaizo, nothing too crazy, but you need to be able to pull off some shell tricks (basically just surfs, occasionally chained). There are 8 actual levels + 1 credits exit. Also 4 secret portrait rooms. Almost entirely vanilla content. A few pallete swaps + custom music, but the only patches applied are those in the Romhack Race base ROM (retry, wall-clip stuff, etc) and HUD removal. |

This hack's biggest strength is its sense of flow. Many beginner kaizo hacks fall into the trap of making levels easy by breaking up tougher obstacles with easy filler jumps or awkwardly placed rest areas. This hack instead uses generous checkpoints and lenient munchers/spikes to remain accessible.
My one criticism is that many sections felt like they had one jump in particular that cost me most of my lives for that section. But again, nothing that's really that difficult, so not a huge deal.
I would recommend this hack to anyone who is new to kaizo.
Great job!
Absolutely approachable for beginners, levels are pretty short with generous midways. There are several ending trolls, but they aren't painful, easy to avoid once you've seen them.
It bears mentioning that the vast majority of the music was composed or ported directly by dobbs.
