[MrSovietOnion]

ok, i feel stupid for asking, but what is a demo? u say it like every time u die, trying to figure out why XD

[GreatEmerald1]

@MrSovietOnion In case you're still unaware, by demo he means "a demonstration of what could happen if you fail horribly at platforming". AKA an excuse to use the rewind feature!

[TheStrongBadMan]

Loved the waiting for Godot reference.

[njml91]

it's been rejected by three universities and two central parks, and he doesn't even understand how the latter happened.

[aiefo7]

just me or did he describe facebook near the end

[olinar90]

bowser was stuffing himself with a pipe

[FoxMoh100]

I don't know why, but the musics of this Hack makes me remember of ASMT. Preety cool!

[depingacojones]

Those fish look like mutated dry bones

[rockdet]

3:52 Smoke Glitch!!

[BrbPlayingXbox]

[shadowfan434]

This person is very random much like myself.

*Subbed.

[Trackball816]

I am going to become a cauliflower so I can invade New Zealand.

[Nikanaiko]

...That was a really random Moby Dick reference. xD

[spiketbear]

I really like the style of the hack designer. It has a certain asthetic to it that shows the designer's original art style. (Many of the hacks I see are just plain ugly and glitchy.) I absolutely love the text boxes with the philosophical ideas. The levels aren't too absurdly difficult, which can suck the fun out of any game. Another plus is, the guy can actually spell, unlike many romhack makers here on the Tube. A++! Kudos!

[whitelupemaster]

Eh, Raocow...A 'jiffy' is technicall 1/100th of a second.

[Elviia]

[8915razer]

[JoanOfArc121]

Are you insane, or on drugs? Either way you rock.

[yno14jax]

You want to become a coliflower to invade new zeland

[Meowthnum1]

I really like the music in Sandcastle Hassle. Is it original?

[raocow]

As far as I know all music in this hack is original!

[Randomness099]

It's kind of funny that you said that the sand thwomps were to oppress the village carpenters because originally Mario was a carpenter.

[Ganondork001]

I love the music in this hack, especially the second's level music.

[olivebates]

Haha, Raocow Rulez XD

[Theguywhoesnotfunny]

9:39 lol hurray for milk XD lmao

[yoshiiboii]

[lovelythots]

I think I'm kinda in love with you

[cheesymcnuggets123]

5:14 how did you not die from the shell lol

[GameSlayer007]

Ive been wondering... what do you press to rewind?

[Majikfork]

why this lp is just filled with literary allusions!!

[ThePodobo]

I like the sand enemies.

They're so... yellow. c:

[KatonAkerya]

"waiting for godot", really? hahaha

[PowderBB3D]

I really like this hack's level design and level "flavoring." The pollution vibe was really well executed.

The writing, however, is just awful. I haven't anything quite so contrived in a long while.

[Batadon157]

Is the music for Sandcastle Hassle from another game? I really like it...

[JohnFreeman1337]

The level names remind me of Donkey Kong Country. The awesome alliterations and rhyme send me a DKC vibe. The exclamation points only seal the deal!

[katarani]

...Is that what the exclamation points in the first DKC represented? Hidden areas? It seemed really arbitrary when I first played it.

[MmikeSZ]

Actually, it means that you had gotten all the secret bonuses in a level. Since that really can't be implimented in SMW, I guess it was added on levels with secrets anyways for effect?

[JohnFreeman1337]

I'm still not too sure, but I think you get an exclamation point when you collect all four K O N G letters.

[AxemJinx]

No, exclamation points were used to show that you got all of the bonus coins in a level. I don't think they were in the first DKC. And yes, that can't really be implemented in SMW by conventional means, so I used them to indicate secret exits.

[dainegai]

So you're doing all the exits? I look forward to seeing the reaction after you find some of the secret exits. =-P

Also, I'm pretty sure the brown thwomps and other enemies in Sandcastle Hassle are supposed to be rusted. At least, that's what I thought.

And thank you, pelican. You shall be missed.

[CosmoFishhawk]

Aww, whenever I think of water I think of you too!

And yes, we must all be more grateful for the poor pelican :(

[reatret]

super demo world xD

and i dont want to kill you i just want to steal ur home lol XD

[cousinted]

a.) I love the music in this hack

b.) That bit with the dolphins was pretty creative

[SolidSnakeAC]

OH NO! YOU MISPRONOUNCED GODOT!

Which is weird since its french.

[LegendarySock]

Eye sharpening is more like carrots.

Good stuff so far!

[Tr0tim]

I called it "yiffy". :3

[tenta01]

What the hell did you just say?? O.O

[tenta01]

Too much demos :P

[raocow]

Nonsense. I must be thourough!

[Ismaw34]

ME: You are dead / You FAIL

raocow: No, it's just a demo

XDDDDDDDDDDD

[TheChrisD]

Blind play soon! Yay :)

[TennisKristian]

Yeah, that, and I think one other song are my favorites in the game.

Also I think the pipe took you to world 5 or 6... Maybe, I'm probably wrong. =P

[StarkMaximum]

Maybe it's just me, but I get a real sense of melancholy about this hack, from the color schemes to the music to the little plot bits. Everything's just kinda bland and monotonous; the plot bits seem to be like "and he trudged on further", the colors seem kind of dull and muted, and the music is also just kind of unremarkable and almost sad. If it weren't for Raocow's boundless enthusiasm, watching someone play this hack would leave me very depressed.

[DannySchackart]

...You know, it's weird to me; I've noticed this happens with the majority of ROMhack players that I've watched. They'll die once, reload a save state, and then die several times before they get back into their groove. Why is this?

[vexille]

I don't think that's a rom hack player thing, really. It happens to me too in most games I use save states. It just kinda breaks the flow, I suppose

[Tr0tim]

It happens to me every time the flow is broken in any way.

That's why you have lucky streaks, folks.

[cheapskateninja]

I like land urchins :3 VIP 5 will need a level just fulla land urchins

[CandySoup]

You are hilarious man! 5/5

[Zemed87]

Isn't Godot pronounced with a dough, not a dot?

[crashboombang77]

Raocow never mispronounces a word. He only improves them.

[TennisKristian]

No doubt.

[Majikfork]

But it's French!!
