Originally published in 2012 and in the case of this remake, 2018.
The story follow Viola who seems to have taken a nap in the middle of the forest and has no way out of the forest, so she decides to go into a house for some reason, and this starts a journey to the top of the house with twisted traps and puzzles and a twist that seems it was very effective in the 2010's.
Believe it or not, despite having recorded that ending back in 2016, I have never played this one, I never interacted with the house, all I did was that AFK ending and never touched the game, so how do I know most of the traps in the game? Youtubers, some RPG Maker games were a hit back then and I just watched some LPs of some of these, so I just had some memorized.
Despite being one of the favorites back then, this one is not my favorite, the fact that almost everything kills you it's not my thing but since I knew most of the death traps this went well, I still died because again, I didn't knew everything and because the game sometimes lagged on my end.
Overall this was good, but once again, not my favorite, that is still OFF

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?!
