Just finished this very well made and fun mod. With the exception of a couple things, I think this mod is near flawless.

The enemy placement was done in such a way that it will challenge players more, but not to a degree where you have to be near-pixel perfect. Same with the modified levels, that generally add more difficult platforming. In albeit very rare circumstance, these two will spike in difficulty in some areas. Overall I feel like the mod better matches the difficulty level of earlier games.

I really like the addition of making checkpoints, both for when you die or lose all your lives, more forgiving. Though personally I feel like a no lives checkpoint for stage A is missing, as beyond it being a very difficult level, it has some long segments too.

A few more specific things I take issue with are: At the very end of stage 7, there is a platforming challenge that I feel takes a sudden and unnecessary leap in difficulty. Stage A has a checkpoint after a long section, which is fine, but the section it checkpoints at lacks a sub-weapon drop till later, resulting in an incredibly hard fight with an axe knight on falling blocks.

That all being said, I don't want to understate how good and fun this mod is. In my opinion it makes stage 8 especially much better than it is in the base game, with a very simple but big change to the level.

Also the ending is great lol.

I reviewed this way back in September and it's pretty awesome to see this has been updated because I liked this a lot despite getting the crap kicked outta me in the clock tower area. I'll definitely be revisiting this in the near future

Pros: Really Well thought out enemy designs, some parts just worked way better here.

Cons: Inconsistent Enemy Spawns(I played V.1.1)

Overall: I was pretty stubborn about checking out Super CV hacks because I hadn't ever patched an SNES Rom and I honestly wasn't that big of a fan of the original game in general, but I was pleasantly surprised with how this turned out.

Great job here. If you're a CV4 fan, snag it, patch it, play it and love it
