This particular one I never bothered to redesign it (because of how old it was), but it's cool that you still liked it.

JUMP - Part 36

Here's a string of words I never thought could go together: A level by morceau in World 6 that went decently.

Only the normal exit today, since it seems like the secret is almost another stage entirely.

JUMP - Part 37

Arg. I could not do anything in this part of the stage very consistently, specifically that one part with the flying blocks. The second half was really neat though.

JUMP - Part 38

This stage was kind of insane! At the same time though, this might be of my favorite stages in the entire hack so far.

Heh, Shouldering On CURRENTS...

Well, everything was here, autoscroll, fast autoscroll, water, out of water section, munchers, Urchins, ridiculous difficulty... hm, I guess I can consider every single level to be any other level with that logic.

Also, does this level seriously have Green Switch blocks when it outright leads to Green Switch of Doom (would say it's a one level video, but I honestly don't know what are you planning to do, Old Fogey Skie is easy, while pretty much any other level you can access at this point is ridiculous to the point of one level videos).

Do you plan on replaying Coin Guides level on next JUMP update? I played the updated version, and the change is huge (it's entirely different level).

Sure! I think I'll make a bonus video after I finish the whole game if any other levels get major changes to them. I'm still playing v1.00 actually, just so nothing breaks while switching versions.

There is nothing that breaks if you switch versions.

My heart would break.

JUMP - Part 39

Wow, that Switch Palace SURE was a Switch Palace! And I'm sure the 250 lives/4 hours these past four exits have taken me will be worth it for how much easier the game is from now on!!!

Iirc the switch will actually help out a lot in at least one of the hardest levels in the postgame, so there's that.
Also, I think most people will agree that the green switch is a good candidate for the hardest level in the main game!

1F8 though

Anyway, good job on beating morsel's mad sidepath of world six! If you made it this far without tools, I'm sure you'll be fine until the end of the game.

Yes, that was a typo and I already corrected it.

Ok, that's good to know, since I've pretty much had the mindset that it was only going to get worse, and these past few videos have already been like a sledgehammer to the face.

I've finished going through my videos to count the deaths, and with the last video I've crossed the 1,000-death threshold!

Do keep in mind that the last few levels in star- and special world are significantly harder. But other then that things shouldn't be too aggravating for you.

Sorry for no videos yesterday and probably today too. Been too busy to finish Depraved Stronghold.

Reminds me, it's probably the only main game level that I didn't finish. It's just so crazy...

If that helps, it's probably THE hardest level of main game, even Green Switch Palace is easier.

I wouldn't consider the special world "main game" but regardless Depraved stronghold is definitely a hard level. I'm actually surprised you attempted it right after the world six side path instead of continuing with world six.

Anyways, just a heads up, you will probably get the 60 required dragon coins for the last special world level before you complete the main game, but I would recommend finishing the main game first.

That reminds me, which stage triggers the credits? I want the final video to end with credits, so that will decide whether I do the last Special Stage or Bowser's Castle last.

That would be Bowser's Castle.

Keep in mind that Bowser's Castle is easier than last level of special world however.

JUMP - Part 40

There we go! This stage took nearly 3 hours over 2 days of playing to complete, mostly due to the length. This is definitely the most difficult stage of this length that I have played. While there are some sections that I like a lot, pretty much the entire midpoint room I absolutely despise. It's so easy to get screwed over by the one tile Sparkys and the Kamek that it makes getting to the second room pretty rare, and the second room isn't exactly a walk in the park, especially near the end with nerves.

JUMP - Part 41

A welcome return to normalcy. Well, as normal as this hack gets!

JUMP - Part 42

These stages were plain simple and fun. Considering some of the other stages in this world I have NO idea what these stages are doing here lol, but I appreciate it greatly.

Well, even this game has breather stages occasionally. I guess that's the advantage of having to consider the overworld when spreading out your collab stages. Next world also has the occasional easy-ish stage.

JUMP - Part 43

Sorry for being lazy the last few days. This was a pretty interesting castle! I like how both halfs involve shells and are reaction-based, but in completely different ways.

I'm going to do all the Star Road stages I've left undone so far, just do I don't have to do them all at the end. Daily updates may be put on hold if it starts getting crazy again.

JUMP - Part 44

Well I guess the game just stopped beating around the bush and went full-on Kaizo.

That level did not look remotely fun.
