this one did take me awhile to beat but it was fun
managed to (accidentally) find the hidden passage, and the reward was nice
loved the sprite changes (especially the charging chucks, that one was hilarious)
only wish there were some more power ups, as it is really long
i know its meant to be hard, but an occasional super mushroom would've been nice
Then again, for a rare attempt at rom hacking, this is really good!

Shoutout and big ups to my main homie, Emulator Rewind.

Fun level! I like the way each of the level challenges are laid out and I like the cute gfx edits! I see you also had fun with the Map16 editor :D

good amount of variety? check
secret passage/easter egg? check
neat level design/no unfair parts? check
rewarding feeling at the end? check
