Super Basic Bros is my first hack ever, released November 2024.
It is a single world hack using vanilla physics. This is intended to be geared towards the beginner kaizo player such as myself with enough challenges to push the limit of basic skills.
The game is a mix of tight and open space usage with long (sometimes blind) jumps. There are many areas where speed and/or precision is required and also some problem solving sections.
There are speed run tactics built into several levels as well.
The only advanced trick that is required to be successful with this hack is shell jumps. You will need to know or learn those to complete it (they can be learned in this hack). Otherwise, timing and regrabs will get you through. There are no mid-airs or special physics/customizations.
The castle is intentionally the most difficult level of the hack and will provide a challenge to most players.
One unfixable bug to note: upon exiting room 2 of the castle, ensure no inputs are pressed when entering room 3. If inputs are pressed, Mario will load into the wall and will glitch into a side room. This room skips a room that has a required function to complete the castle so it will need to be restarted if so.
