Every now and then I will pick through smwcentral's "Hacks Waiting to be Moderated" section of the site, pull a hack (as long as it's not too long) out at semi-random, and play it for you guys blindly. Until I play, I will have no idea if the hack is good or bad. That's something we find out "together." Save states will be used; mainly because I feel that save stating will be more appealing to the eye than restarting the entire level 5-10 times. Each hack will generally be a single segment run of exploration, and will typically end when I either wish to take a break, when I beat it, or when an error in the hack prevents me from continuing. I will not accept hacks made by you. The only place I will get them from is smwcentral's "Hacks Waiting to be Moderated" section. If you want to see your hack up here, your best bet is to stick it there and hope it's the one I grab next! I will not pick a hack that looks like it could be Kaizoish, or one that's insanely long. A good rough estimation for hack length would be 15-20 exits at most. I hope you enjoy! In each description there will be my personal thoughts on said hack. In the review, I will try to be very fair, as well as provide constructive criticism if I think the hack I am playing isn't very appealing to me.

This is a nice hack, but there are a few things left before I feel the moderators at smwcentral will accept it. The biggest thing to note would be at the end where a mistake was made with screen warping. This video was (unfortunately) cut 2 levels short because of this small mistake. There was a Super Mario Brothers 1-1 remake level. Not sure why that's there, but it would serve a better purpose not being there. Upon looking in Lunar Magic, the hidden mushroom for that was misplaced, I believe. I can't recite exactly where it is, but I'm almost sure it's more toward the left. I still advise playing this hack, though.
Overall score: 7/10
Notes: I'm getting a negative karma vibe where solid hacks are concerned.
And thanks for pointing that error out in that last level... Gah.

I'm happy you enjoyed your involuntary participation upon my reign of boredom. (no joke intended) I actually picked this one because favored the description.

@LinksDarkArrows
I fixed the error. Would you wanna play the last couple levels.
(no video needed, just if you wanna play 'em.)

I would certainly enjoy playing, but definitely not on video. I only plan to do 150 more, so it would be nice to make each video a new hack. ^_^
The easiest place to distribute the newest version would be on smwcentral.
