But it gets a free pass from the rabble because "it's funny" (it isn't at all)

Also I worry impossible lair will have a Pantheon of Hollownest problem because the last level is like, 20-25 minutes even if you play it perfectly apparently

Each failed attempt is a big timesink that's not really sustainable for an LP format
That is true, but given raocow’s godliness at platforming I am sure that he could handle it. I doubt that we would have a MariAri or Hollow Knight scenario on our hands.

Edit: Biggest thing to keep in mind with the Impossible Lair is to pace yourself and take it slow. The Lair never rushes you and lets you take your time (until the final section). In fact I think it heavily punishes you for trying to rush it.

I don't doubt that raocow could do it, and it's way easier than the pantheon for sure, but it still runs into the issue of trying to fit a huge marathon level into an LP format

Then again, Crash 1 is my favorite of the original Crash trilogy and that is filled with what you described so take that what you will.

Will this be the Mario 64 hack that was to be determined?

I have a special request

This is my humble beginnings, a finished-unfinished ROMhack simply named "Nancy", for lack of an actual title. It has 6 short levels and could very easily all fit into a one shot.

Here's the warning label: while I still can look back at it and say it has some interesting ideas, it's also overall very mellow -- or more bluntly said, kinda boring (which is why I scrapped it)

it also handles the lives system in a different way, so I'd request a first death on purpose to demo that

I want this game to be shown 'cause I think it'd make a lot of people a lot less intimidated to try and get into the ROMhacking scene, seeing an author's journey going from making something like this to some actual better works later down the line.

anyways, yeah

I would like to suggest Wandersong. This is a very chill story oriented platformer focused on memorable funny moments. It also isn't very dialogue heavy (unless you want to talk to literally every NPC). raocow tends to play very hard games, so I think that this game would be a nice supplement to one as a stress reliever. And I think that he would get a kick out of the game's sense of humor.

considering new super mario world 2 got rejected from the smw hack section for having numerous crashes and softlocks, along with the original hack moderator giving up on moderating it because they got so frustrated at the level design, i don't think it'd be a very good hack to play. it's 16 worlds long and the author even disavowed the hack for a while because they didnt like it.

Garfield Labyrinth (1993)

Image

A puzzle platformer in the vein of the Wario Land series where you play as Garfield. Was marketed as a Ghostbusters / Mickey Mouse game in North America and Japan respectively, with slight graphic changes. Obviously the Garfield version is superior.
so i have the means to do a secret message thing here but i don't know what to write. how about... uh. im stuck

I don't suppose anybody's mentioned "Sonic Boll" yet? It's along the same lines as "Super Mario Crossover", where you play as a variety of characters and try to complete SMB1 with them. The differences are that most of the characters here are already platformer-focused for the most part, it's actually a downloadable game instead of flash, it includes a level editor that you can use to make full game-sized level packs, it has a 3D Special Stage that plays like Super Monkey Ball (Which can also have levels built for it in said level editor), and it has a couple of hidden characters that you can unlock. There's also a variety of skins for each character, so if raocow wanted to play around with videos a bit and make each video a different character skin or just flat-out play as a different character for each video, he can do that. The game even lets you pick what level you start at, so doing something like that would be incredibly easy.

They're also starting a level design contest right now where the winner can choose a new Easter Egg or Skin for the game. (I'm not sure if they mean character skin or level/world skin) The level editor is really easy to use, and there's a tutorial on how to use it on GameBanana. Considering how popular things like MaGL and all of the Demo games are around here, I figure it would be pretty fun to do their contest, and we could even bundle up all of our entries together into a level pack for raocow.

Oh yeah, game link is here.
