Seriously, don't touch A DONG's Mega Man hacks. That save JupiHornet or Amy Rose Longplays some time. I dare you to play this with NO DAMAGE and I don't care if you use a TAS editor or save states!
Interested for a download link? Go to romhacking dot net!
What I heard from CasualTom's video after playing blind is that Rockman 3 JI got rejected twice because of RHDN policy reasons.

Graphic set: Fortress (World 7 Fortress #2)
Tread carefully through this phanto infested SMB2 boss style fortress. You won't need to hold a key for some of them to start giving chase.
By design I have restored the original SMB2 NES bricks based on the boss rooms but remodeled in 16-bit. The palette quads are based on the boss rooms by SNES palette entry. First and boss rooms is based on World 4 and the second area is based on World 1's color set.
It's possible to swap palette quads per color set but it only applies to 5th, 6th and 7th row.

Liberty Lines bus drivers who control the Bee Line buses in Westchester County are aware of busfanners or bus photographers. I am annoyed that they asked me if I am a bus fan. I'm trying to get to work! Just because I pulled out my phone and record it does not mean to question me about my activity.

Larry the time magician is back with a vengeance! This level is a replica of SMW's Winter Sakura Night. It's 1:55AM in the Mushroom Kingdom and you have 300 seconds equals 5 minutes on the clock to fall back. Your goal is to stop time and prevent it from falling back.
Shoutouts to ScarlettVixen for the amazing project on Mushroom Mayhem.
Currently SMB3SMAS full rom hacks may not be in development even finishing Frank's 2nd SMB3 hack for SMAS.

Short final castle stages however, the final boss is kind of disappointing and brings no challenge. Rockman Deus Ex Machina is much more challenging and it's a custom sprite boss. Also why Rockman Z instead of Rockman 2 ONN which is a much better Rockman World / Mega Man Dr. Wily's Revenge boss theme although it sounded more like a remix of the song.
I didn't notice but I love how STK had Flash Man's projectiles to freeze the player when on contact. Kinda wish he made a weapon for that.

Is this level a troll? This is a true test of playing this level completely blind without a walkthrough from other YouTube videos including from patcdr. Can it be beaten? Tune in to WLDC! By the way it's FrozenQuills 3rd favorite level.

These levels has ONE more CHANCE to shine! Can I beat them this time? However I will challenge myself to 13 minutes of gameplay for each level that I quit. Tune in to WLDC! However, kaizo DQ levels are only played with savestates & levels such as From Point Cave to Point Home and GIRIGIRI JOUTAI won't be replayed casually. These levels are DONE! Better off with savestates!

Part two of the full ride, at Valhalla to Westchester Medical Center followed by Westchester Community College. The ride is kind of bumpy and sorry that I don't have the proper thumbnail at the moment as I didn't take any pictures of the Route 43 LED sign.
AT THE END OF THIS VIDEO, the bus driver of 353 come off the bus asking me why do I take pictures? I said to him is for YouTube. I didn't have problems with Route 27 on Black Friday 2021 so why Route 43? Afterwards I was trying to get off-site and only to found out that bus 353 was converted into Route 1C to Van Cortlandt Park which I avoided (because of the same bus driver) and originally wanted to take the Route 1C back to the Bronx. I ended up taking the Route 40 to White Plains and transfer to the Route 20.
Seems that Liberty Lines Transit, Inc. bus drivers don't like bus enthusiasts so I had no idea why they coming after us just because we pull out our cameras and record bus or even ride videos to be published on YouTube.
Enjoy! Taken on August 30, 2022

Part one of the full ride, from Wakefield, Mount Vernon to Valhalla via Sprain Brook Parkway. I always wanted to film the morning route because there are currently no videos of the Route 43 morning express. The ride is kind of bumpy. Sorry that I don't have the proper thumbnail at the moment as I didn't take any pictures of the Route 43 LED sign.
To see the highway action, go to 15:40.
Also at 29:20, that's Cross Westchester Executive Park.

Winter Pentathlon is no longer blind and is played off camera. The reason why is played off camera because of the sliding slope section which has difficult controls. Otherwise the level itself is fairly decent.
However in this case, a winter contest entry which is hard difficulty comparing to the vanilla SPECIAL (World 9) levels meets the SMW design game standards with no custom enemies.

I enter the Game Genie Code on the Snes9X Emulator, then go to the cheat menu which converted into the address. Then I use Lunar Expand to convert SNES address into PC address results in editing the SMAS rom bypassing the checks using the hex editor. Changing the warps is quite easy. Just search 04030200240524 and you will see it.
This website below is Game Genie Encoder but you still need Lunar Expand to convert it to PC ROM address so you can edit it in your hex editor.

I don't have a clue why (3) trains are out of service for the weekend but I notice that (4) is extending service to New Lots Avenue all weekend. The (5) train in Manhattan is completely unnecessary as it runs on the (4) line between Bowling Green & 149th Street Grand Concourse.
My theory is the R62's air conditioning unit that causes (3) line to be suspended and once some R62 cars broke down they use the R142 set to run service to New Lots Avenue. That day, I caught the R142 (3) train back on May 21st at the Lenox Terminal but didn't ride it and changes back to the (2). I'm thinking the MTA crews would prevent changing the R142 sets into the (3) train which does not stop at 145th Street. Some sets during the weekend for the (2) are the R62 and the R142 sets. This video is taken on 7/9/2022.
Oh boy, a WLDC level with so much enemy spam!
