Description |
This romhack is heavily inspired by Super Mario Land 2 for the Original Gameboy, and is an ambitious departure from the first two installments. The map consists of 5 zones- four zones on the perimeter of the map and one in the center. Each zone has it's own specific theme and concludes with a 'switch palace' level. The player must complete each zone on the outside of the castle to activate blocks necessary to complete 'The Floor is Lava' on the bridge to access the final area. Complete the castle and help our Hero FINALLY leave the 'Other World'.
Each area is filled with its own theme and level gimmicks to match. Some levels are less difficult than others as seen in previous entries and are meant to give the player a sense of accomplishment in-between more challenging areas/setups. The general difficulty targeted was intermediate, however there are some elements one may deem closer to expert. The graphics and audio were carefully selected in an effort to keep gameplay both satisfying and feeling fresh. It also makes use of custom graphics, sprites and other 'chocolate' assets. This hack does have some troll elements as well... but nothing a seasoned player hasn't seen already. PACE IS THE TRICK.

This romhack serves as the finale to the Smoked Fish and Cabbage trilogy. It makes use of more advanced setups, patches, and sprites, and will certainly challenge players of all skill levels.
