What the Hell? - final part of stage 3

[masic88]

that was you playing your hack, rao?

when did you become a jounin?

[EclipseMoonXIV]

Football Gaston?

Your cat plays football?

[DarkStarboye]

I love this music. What song is it?

[GZA73]

Regardless of what people might say about the difficulty/level design of the game, i gotta say that I LOVE the music in this hack. Is most of it custom or are they just ports?

[somepartsareme]

Football Gaston has to be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[1a2b3c4d5e2427]

You play so much better when not speaking. You don't make any stupid mistakes. Don't stop talking. ; )

[spiketbear]

Are you done spriting Demo? I still think her pupil isn't as defined as it could be, or not dark enough. It could have something to do with the fact that I always watch the vids in HD now.

[xXxZiockxXx]

Raocow is awesome at spriting (: xD

[Canti510]

it looks like the hit detection is a little off when they throw the baseballs at u, but this has to be one of the best original hacks ive ever seen, i feel like i wanna play it so bad ^_^'

[KinCryos]

toasters FTW

[hygeia93]

i love how almost everything is a cat :]

[AgentAlloy]

well that was trippy

[DispariScuro]

This seems a lot more Kaizo than normal, on the scale.

[EighteenCharacters]

Almost all the levels seem this way... The difference is that this is insane difficulty. Kaizo is pinpoint, and Enigmatic is pinpoint puzzle. They were accuracy games. This one is clever level design and 98 1-Up's with a starman...

[DispariScuro]

You might be right. I just find all the baseballs and volcano lotuses to be nearly impossible to dodge when spammed. TSRP had a big problem with spamming them as often as possible because they're so hard.

[EighteenCharacters]

Oh, freakin' totally...

I believe it is within the integrity of the rom hacker design. One wanted to make a game that was impossible to beat, except for this one tiny path of accuracy, and others don't.

In a rom hack I made (which RC declined to LP), I use an obvious glitch to reach a high platform which leads to a shortcut to the end of the level. Then I lead to the exit normally, punishing Mario with Lakitus underground you can't kill, bullet bills and fish. You're absolutly right.

[Zero5900]

TOASTERS!!!!!

[americandream112]

Red capes are the evil of our world§

[ieatatsonic]

Are the monteys toasters?

[OzlandPlays]

yep

[TheInsurrection]

Is it me, or do 'demo' and the enemy sprites seem to have smaller hitboxes?

[SEGPED]

well SOMEBODY sure does know how to make a level which is hard...but for all the GOOD reasons. And no my CAPS lock isn't turning ON for RANDOM words...

[jopomeister]

AAAAAAAAAAAAH RUNNING TOASTERS!!!

[LadyAkogare]

Oh. My. God. That is like super awesome and super difficult at the same time.

I love it already.

[pantsofpower]

holy Judas Priest on a parasol that looks tough but awesome and your custom sprite work makes me smile.

[Turmio1]

No more Touhou for you raocow!

Danmaku Mario? ^^

[GVirusG]

XD Football Gaston is AWESOME!

[Bowserian]

Those Monty moles look like mini-Balrogs. Btw, how can Raocow's level design look like teh Vipz, when those weren't made by one person?

[FrozeanFails]

holy hell this looks hard

[PrinceMarthX]

It would be a lot less Kaizo if there were power ups.

[MFDelta]

I'm really sorry, but Flying Toasters are superior to Digging Toasters. They just are. I mean, come on.

[LadyMiaow]

Now if only you could find someone to play and give commentary that could do it justice.

[kitsuneiTheFox]

Raocow is the only person who could give rightful commentary to this awesomeness and I want it

[LegendarySock]

Are the Monty Moles toast?

Totally digging this!

[Ralucard42]

This looks fucking fun.

[d3v1nbr0wn]

love the toasters just wtf is the mario thing supposed to be?

[spiketbear]

Just a cyclopian original creation of Raocow.

[Rainhawk777]

This reminds me of the VIPs.

Your level design is vaguely similar.

[PkGam]

WOW! That level looks chaotic! Can this level even be done without savestating and slowdown?

[IHasAToaster]

badass, TOASTER MOLES

[thatch5550]

omg the moles have been replaced by toasters xD awesome hack too

[Slntpsych]

Your hack is shaping up to be really good. The music is great, all the redone enemies are great, just make a storyline and you'll end up with a hack that is a lot better and more accessible than most.

[chdata]

I like that palette.

[RitzsFTW]

Wut es this i dun even...

I didnt know you were making your own mario rom hack!

[PCpaste]

And everything I know of sprite limitations is a lie...

[Nictusempra]

these previews have both looked really fun, but man is there a lotta engine slowdown.

[LPwatcher]

You most definently suckseeded in the What the Hell!?!?!? aspect

[eski514]

This hack is bonkers.

[ChaoticFox9900]

toaster moles? FUCK YES

[RolandoMorreu]

0:51

So much for complaining about hard-to-see spikes and enemies.

[raocow]

I know, that was fixed, they now have clear outlines

[Katsuma2024]

You must have a very strange house, Raocow

[UraharaKiaske]

Have you decreased the hit boxes or something? There were like 4 times in the video where Mario would have been toast!

:S

[BubbleIce10]

i would have never passed that!!

[Patashu]

look at how awesome this looks

[vanidence]

This is so kickass! I love what you did to the enemies. God I am so excited about this!! O_O

[SaiaiChan]

Hmm.

I wanna say, there's an almost Danmaku-ish vibe with this. c_c; Lots of narrow escapes but it takes really less precision and more, umm... planning?

[Tadlocker]

This looks like one of the more creative and ingenious hacks I've seen. Keep up the great mind...ing... Don't know where I was going there.

[SupremeLordReptyle]

ya hmm about the music i can fix that.

[bokobono]

hooray

[ShadowAuraKnight]

That was something else. A good and awesome something, but a something all the same.

Looks fun, and I love all of the sprite changes so far.

[JeraldAnAlcaholcMoos]

when will it be out? I WANT TO PLAY!

[Frogjumper01]

Talk about hardcore o_o. Also, gotta love those mole sprites! ^^

[pyrohazzzard]

how come you never talk with these vids :/

[MetaKnight345]

This is what happens when you introduce an artist to the concept of spritesheets. ^^

[Reddyne]

Fear the toasters of doom! Their slots are filled with hatred and malice respectively.

[MasterAsra]

For some reason it reminds me of the weird stuff from Linus Spaceheads(the RPG kinda game, not the terrible platformer) since the enemies are so weird.

Hit detection with the baseballs seems a bit off.

[MasterAsra]

Oh! Raocow, are you going to change the sawblades next? I wonder what insane thing you'll do to those.

[PhrozenFox]

Playing a lot of ROM hacks really payed off in your level designing capabilities!

[bl0rkatr0n]

This looks really good but I'm gonna slap some criticism on you.

I know that when you create something you often turn kinda blind to some things, so I'd just like to point it out.

The spikes blend in way too much with the background, if it weren't for the clouds they'd be near invisible in some spots.

While this may look nice, it is something you yourself tend to complain about when it happens to you.

And what's the status on that Hard Hack R/Pack thing and VIP? Are you still gonna do those?

[raocow]

Vip5 has been at 99% for MONTHS and the organiser of the hard hack pack disapeared from the internet.

Basically.

[MmSTM]

Months, indeed.

I pretty much think it's not going to be complete, and even if it will, it will take a pretty long time.

[iDelanex]

The hitbox is...odd?

[ChrisIsCornflake]

Mole toasters, Gaton Charlies, and doable-Kaizo galore!

*drools*

[SimularMine]

Looks good, the setting is very well done, somewhat Escher-esque with the staircases and such.

As for difficulty, the only real problem I see happening is the massive amounts of slowdown, although in this case, it might actually be warented, due to the massive influx of things wanting you dead.

[fapnoob]

Monty Toasters :D So awesome

[marino3d]

I like your hack since it makes you think you're playing a totally different game than SMW.

[pokemontrainerblue]

I always knew the toasters were evil...

[TLs4]

Seriously foaming at the mouth here.

Man this is the kind of game that is EXACTLY up my alley.

More!

[CrazedGeek]

Damn, that's easily one of the more doable insane-difficulty levels I've seen. Color me indigo.

[raocow]

This I like to hear. My goal is to just GRAZE the kaizo, without creating a full-on kaizo hack. Hard as all hell but doable, someone with good reflexes could theoreticaly beat it on the first try.

So, uhm, yeah!

[HeroPenguin]

This is AWESOME. Super Mario WAR ZONE.

This is what I'd expect to see from a modern day castle/fortress level, storming the gates of a major enemy stronghold. Good stuff, Raocow.

The only thing I want to point out is that the spikes are very very hard to see. I'm assuming that's a WIP, though, so I'm pleased. I wanna try this when it's done.

[drkraid]

charlie noooooo

change charlie back you monster

[AlexZerth]

Holy God! Too many flying obstacles and moles!... or toasters..

[Sevothtarte9]

Woo! FOOTBALL GASTON! <3

[zipzeezip]

this is awesome!

[hanchaisun]

is it me or did that baseball go through your head at 0:25?

[soltaker21]

impressive can't wait for the full hack

[pulkstr]

your hack is shaping up nicely. :) can't wait to see the complete version! keep up the great work

[DaveyYzermans]

You're being chased by toasters, in which romhack are you?

[jcftwihb]

i'm sorry raocow, i like you videos, but i think this hack doesn't make sense at all

[Hi0123456789]

Well, Raocow is making it, of course it can't make any sense?

[raocow]

Consider the name of the stage then:

sand forest theatre

As you can see, making sense is an important aspect of my hack.

[StarkMaximum]

Dude, the hack itself is called "WHAT THE HELL", what do you expect?

[itachi456789]

What the hell?

[NaturesFoulChild]

Holy crap, there's a lot of guys.

[SBTheWriter]

I guess you don't have to be Charlie to have a pension for throwing baseballs.

Damn, though - this hack really looks like it's shaping up nicely. I'd love to play it.

[DubbsYoshi]

i thought the toasters were tacos at first glance.

[Natertron24]

Very cool, the charly replacement is by far my favorite sprite change so far.

That and the smily coinblocks^^.

[daarkbuu]

You know, if you put your mind to it Rao, you could become a master at creating Kaizo hacks.

[StarkMaximum]

And yet he uses his powers for good!

[TechieRefugee]

About the Monty Moles:

You what they say, All Toasters toast toast!

Feel free to thumbs down me, I don't care.

[brawlmaster12344]

aw, i was going to do that

[TechieRefugee]

I said thumbs down, not up! You people are laterally confused!

[pokemontrainerblue]

My thumbs are rebellious and fight your evil ways of trying to make them go down.

[TechieRefugee]

Don't say that too loud! Big Brother is watching you! You don't want to get sent to Room 101, do you?

[FlightSimmist]

Argh. Agonizing.

[newjerseyfan101]

the toasters D:

when this is done would i be able to try it and would u lp this please

[Pipination]

Wow, that looks like it'll be impossible....

... well for me atleast :-P

Keep up the good work Raocow :-)

[rhoward66]

Football Gaston is awesome. It makes me happy for some odd reason.

[mountainmage]

That guy asked for a hard hack, and you're not going to disappoint him!

[mechamind90]

I also noticed the monty moles replaced with toasters.

[zeroandown1]

zomg this is going to be awesome

[molhal]

I like how that block smiled when you hit it at 0:44

[kirokyo]

Love the sprite changes, esp. Charlie's.

[Cloaytonem2]

I'm diggin them toasters!

[BonePizza]

just wondering will Demo be the heroinne of the game?

[raocow]

Yup. It is part of the all-important complex 'Demo Mythos (TM)'

romhacks are all about ultra-elaborate lore, you see.

[McGack1]

holy crap an evil toaster?

[supermamaluigi]

Charlie became your cat? Awesome man.

[THEONLYPLAYER]

a glimpse inside raocow's mindset.

[toastnuances]

godDAMN

[timmehtimmmeh]

cool stage

[thevideotutorialman]

wow really great , i like it

[zombierobopirate]

wheres that music from sir?

keep it the up!

[hobowright]

Only in Kaizo mario are you the most vulnerable daisy in chainsaw land.

Godspeed, raocow.

[Strustl]

I think a good replacement for monty mole would be diglett/dugtrio

[daisyflowerrose2005]

What do you people have against Pokemon?? God, don't be such jerks
