I highly recommend watching the trailer for a more comprehensive idea of what this hack is.

This is, a work in progress of 3 months. Which is a lot, y'know. I never intended for it to take that long, it started as a fun "yeah I'll make something for a few weeks for dootmeisterr to play when he gets his pc repaired" but it became more and more apparent that it was going to take... much longer than that. If you had told me it would take 3 months when I started I probably would have been too overwhelmed to start, but I'm so thankful I didn't realize that myself because I am very happy I made this.

I want to talk a bit about what this hack actually IS. Because I don't think that's super clear, I did my best to communicate it in the video but I want to be more straightforward in text. The best way to talk about what this hack is, is to first talk about what it isn't. This hack is NOT a super polished super fair modern day kaizo that you'd find in like mario maker or on smwcentral or anything like that. It's also not exactly a collection of remixes per se, either, because it does have some pretty nonstandard stuff at times. The hack is, in it's nature, pretty messy, and I want to be clear that I do not view that as a fault, it was actually a guiding principle. Please, do not underestimate this hack. Even if it is not something that appeals to you.

This hack is meant to be rough around the edges, and it's meant to prioritize quantity over quality (to an extent). It's not meant to have a difficulty curve and it's not meant to be fair. That's not to say it isn't fun or fair, but moreso that this hack really harkens back to kaizo origin. Making something to bully your good friends with. Most of the time that comes from difficulty, but there are hints of humor and frustration in there too y'know. This hack is simply about me taking SMS and making something wacky, evil, cruel, or just fun out of every single shine and blue coin. What that actually entails, well, you'll just have to find out.

Which is why, once you advance the plaza state, the game completely opens up to you. I recognize many people that will want to play this aren't necessarily sunshine gods, and I know there ARE parts of the game that many people could enjoy (especially with savestates! Highly recommend!), that they would otherwise be locked out of. So, shine requirements for progression/episode selection have been completely removed. I know this kinda kills any%, but I'm not convinced people were going to run this game or work towards a greater goal to begin with. If that is a legitimate interest, please do play for 45 shines or something! I encourage it completely!

Insert some mushy story about my good friend dootmeisterr who this hack is clearly dedicated to.

Please enjoy. Thank you.
