Alright story time:
As a kid I played this game a lot and one day I planned on beating the entire game in a single day. I got really close, I was in RR as my final stage, but then I had to go to sleep. I tried to finish in bed, but then I got caught, so I had to give up and I never tried again afterwards.
Now nearly 20 years later I was able to finish that project with this RA challenge. Obviously this time is nothing great, but for a non practice, casual with a timer run it was overall not too bad.

I heard this one is a lot worse than the previous 2, so I was pretty scared starting it. It certainly is quite a bit harder, but overall its a really sick hack with a lot of creative ideas and unique jumps.
Especially strangers level was brutal. I mostly just learned one star a day, because I prefer practicing stars that hard offline. I got to 3/4, but the last one seemed actually impossible. I didnt have much motivation to go for the other stars in this hack if I cant finish it anyway.
I went through the star with states and every jump was just trial and error and I didnt see a way to build up any consistency. Eventually I put more effort into learning the star and actually found a lot of really good strats to the point the star became pretty doable. However I had to practice the star for 5h, which is pretty absurd for such a short star. Half of that time was on finding a setup for the jump at 1:04:31. Other people just slowly crawled across, but I couldnt do that at all. I hoped finding a consistent setup with punches and that crouch turn wouldnt be too bad, but it just wouldnt work. Every time I thought I found a setup and redid it from the start I died again. Thats why I had to spend over 2h on just that jump alone.
Most of the remaining practicetime was just me overpracticing and pretty much getting the star from the 2nd MC box.
After beating strangers level I thought the rest wouldnt be too bad, but there were many many really challenging stars left. Especially mules level gave me quite some trouble. The playground star felt like the last stranger star at first and I did not see myself building up much consistency with any of those jumps. However then I found a massive cheese, which just skipped the entire star.
I also found a little cheese for the top star, but that didnt help me a lot. Despite practicing that star for multiple hours as well, I could not build up much consistency with the middle part. I even had to set up an angle modifier for the jump at 1:32:39, because otherwise the dive to that platform just didnt seem possible. Even with the modifier it felt like the hardest jump of the star.
So overall a really good hack and I certainly recommend it giving it a try. Tons of creative jumps and other really cool ideas, like the seasons banjo-kazooie level and I still really love the concept of the entire hack. Every star is a unique challenge and not just 5 rather easy stars and a super difficult red coin star. Just expect it to be a bigger project, since many of these stars are quite tough and require a bunch of practice.")

Really promising looking hack, but C12 was quite difficult already. Wanted to beat it in one session, but reds seemed too scary, so I rather practiced it a bunch offline and went for it the next day.
Also I was kinda beta testing this and C1 was too low on coins, so I basically had to do 100s twice.")
