Anyone familiar with the hacking community will immediately recognize the graphical style as Googie's work, and it really works here. Everything is bright and beautiful, reaching the level of haunting in World 7. The creatures are cute, and have that classic Googie aesthetic. The actual stages are pathetically easy, now that every character can float for ridiculous amounts of time, but they're shuffled around a bit; Toad is now very slow, and Luigi is a total speed demon. Where the challenge really comes out is in the boss fights: Birdo's projectiles are lightning fast, Mouser's bombs have a very short fuse, and you have to jump onto Tryclyde's projectiles as they fall downward, not to mention that all of the bosses take quite a few more hits. The Tryclyde battles are pretty grueling, but all of the others have a fair challenge to them. Actually Fryguy and Wart are easier then before, and arguably, Clawgrip is, as well. I would easily recommend this hack on visuals alone, though; give it a look!
