Hack: 2 Hour Hack
Author: Magmatic
Lenght: 7 Exits
Difficulty: Standard: Hard / /Skilled
Patch: smwc.me/s/40799
Rather than doing the full hack, I decided to give it a spin and give each level his own video.
This hack apparently was inspired by another hack of the same concept, a hack done in under 2 hours, the 7 levels are different in gimmicks and difficulty, level 1 is hard, but later levels are short and kinda easy.
Goomba Hellhole 1:
This level is classic in style, cramped spaces jumping over munchers, this level was good, the lakitu adds a sense of suspense given the little space to breath
Chapters:
00:00 Title Screen and Intro
00:28 Goomba Hellhole 1
--:-- Death Reel (Had none during this level)

Another set that added cheevos, this one for hidden items, nothing crazy right? RIGHT?
Some of these have weird instructions, stand still on the exit for 21 seconds, punch nothing 5 times, kill 3 enemies with one explosion or with 3 kicks, put bombs on corners, have 0 lives, have a specific number in the last 2 digits of the score, get hit with your own bomb, pausing, stuff like that, these were added after I kinda Went away from RA, again, these arent that bad but some are tedious to get
I think Ill check some SMW Hacks next to see how hard the cheevos are for these")

Third time I play SMB USA for a RetroAchievements set, and this one was a nightmare, unlike SMB2 for the NES which had easy cheevos and a nice difficulty curve, Advance has a few that are hard. To note, Advance has the Doki Doki Panic achievement of No Death Run thru all the game, no warps and no save and quit and if that isnt enough, No Try Again either, if you fuck up, you fuck up, all the way back to 1-1. And, just like the SMB2 NES set, this one has a second no death run achievement, same achievement as, Finish the game with no deaths but in this one you can use warps, its not as bad if you follow the shortest route. Advance also has the Find all the Mushrooms/HP in a world, but it has an extra one, capping at 5 Hearts for most of the game, except in a select few who cap at 4, and theres barely any guide online that lists them, luckily I stumbled upon Strategy wiki which had the extra heart locations, other than that, this set is fairly easy, the rest are progression, Ace Coins and of course, Yoshi egg challenge, so this one will take at minimum, 5 runs if you play good, 3 of them can be with warps so its not as bad I suppose (or 4 if you get the No death run with one character instead of me who fucked up with Mario).
That should be it, theres no more SMB USA versions out there right? Right?!
Diffficulty Set: 4/10")
