Also, the block you use to hit the guy despawns too far down on the screen, which is a really stupid thing.

In response to today's question.

The word animal comes from the latin word "anima" meaning soul. Also, all cute animals except for kyuubey has a soul.

As easy as this romhack is, I do like the simplicity. It's a nice contrast to Distorted Travesty!

The hack is still a work-in-progress, right? Might be a placeholder sprite until he comes up with something.

The second revenge of the coins was quite an upgrade after the first one, where he didn't even die. The flying coins and all were amusing.

It is funny how the next Mario game is all about coins, coins, and more coins. I kinda hope Nintendo would throw you for a loop and make a challenge where you can't collect anything.

Your reward for collecting 1 million coins better be just outright dying and having to redo the entire game looking for an alternate way to win. Kaizo Coin Mario.

I still don't grasp the name The Difference Between NO and OFF.

The difference between NO and OFF should have been about, say, only being able to spin-jump when the switch was OFF, because then ON would be "NO", and OFF would be different from that. In this, I learned the difference between ON and OFF, which is nothing ground-breaking, to say the least.

Edit: Or have a set of YES/NO switches and ON/OFF switches.

Well, I figured out what the last level will be. It will be a 1-1 remake, expect all we will see is a white screen.

It'd still probably be too easy.

Edit: Is this a thing pretty much everyone watched back in '07, or did I just stumble across it so many times that I assumed it was popular?

I'm really not sure what to think of this hack. It seems repetitive and sloppily designed, the lack of vertical movement and anything puzzly would probably make it boring to play, but due to the low difficulty causing non-sequiturs, some of the commentary was the most relaxing, funny and raocow-y thing I've heard in a while. Except for some of the more eyesore-inducing gamma filters and overused tilesets, I like the graphical ambience as well. And the design seems to drastically improve recently...

Obviously it's "Pieces of eight!".

Sorry for the bump, but this seemed like the best place to ask. Did this hack ever get completed?
