THE END

Special thanks to TheBiob for disassembling all the custom blocks and custom sprites in this hack for me, and to StunnedByte for providing me his inputs for the boo trail room.

Thank you for your service.

My immediate reaction was: holy shit, no way they beat this! Which is why I just commented "GG" at first. Now after reading your explanation on all the rooms, some Whiskey and having it recommend to watch again, I gotta say that it's a real shame that this hack ended up the way it is. Some of the rooms/challenges seemed pretty creative and cool, though I have to say that the initial response of Masterjun in the SMW Glitch discord left me with some scepticism on whether or not I should even consider this for "the hardest hack", but then the response from xKingBulletbillx on it made me believe that it actually is just the hardest hack. I just wish they didn't build sections around their movement and rather just have it work normally for everyone, this just makes everything feel like: "guess I gotta figure out which frame is the right one that works with the hack" rather than anything else.

GGs, it really is a shame that the hack came out like this. The ending of it is pretty much like slapping the face of who played it.
It was truly a journey tho.

"So is this the hardest hack ever? I guess so, even if only because of the bomb room. But is it worth your time? No. " this hurt my soul, but i absolutely loved this tas, those breaks are insane, thanks for the show man you are an amazing taser

[@tylerblowers7906]

As much SMW romhack content I've consumed I will never be able to comprehend this level stuff. GG

[@magikey7395]

Congrats on the clear! It's nice to see that even a hack as limiting as this still has some big breaks

[@Vitor_IS]

stunning
124k rerecords seems impressively low to me, really well done, gg

[@Regnum0nline]

I just read your pastebin. Bismuth should create a video. You really did amazing. Good Job

[@azula1638]

Nice one. I enjoy the caped sections. ❤

[@reen02]

Terribly beautiful

Wow, this looks so cool. Recently, I got interested in finding the most difficult pit hacks, and it seems this one is among them. Can you recommend other highly difficult pit hacks? (I'm not using them for gaming, just purely interested.)
Anyway, incredible job. GG!

[@xHF01x]

Try Armageddon (by dacin) and Cataclysm (by me)

[@HugoNefario]

​@@xHF01xthanks man🥰

[@Lungfish-md3zj]

You are INCREDIBLE HF--thank you for your work. A reminder to anyone braggadocious--dot your I's and cross your T's.

[@Regnum0nline]

wow this looks like pain

[@HugoNefario]

horror pit hack lol

[@IgorOliveira666]

LMAO

[@marcuspowell273]

Great video and write up. It made me mad to read that the creator designed the levels around a particular set of inputs. It seems like a lazy way to create difficulty!
But, it does pose an interesting question. Could one send messages in a form of Mario cryptography? The idea being, given a set of inputs it should be easier to generate a level such that those inputs are a solution than to generate a set of inputs that solve a given level. This doesn’t hold up in this case, since the creator claims they took 600 hours and 4 years on the hack, while you beat it in 150 hours and under a year. Still, it’s an interesting idea. Worth thinking about!

...wait a second bro... Are you even _HUMAN_ ????????????

[@joaozindoedit8897]

nice

[@TheJayKayA]

at the first section i still thought, this'd be rta haha :D is this actually the first/only hack to be designed for not being humanly completable..?

[@xHF01x]

No. Every hack labeled "Tool-assisted" on smwcentral is specifically intended for at least savestate play; and many pit hacks are only realistic when playing large chunks of them frame-by-frame.

[@Amaraticando]

There's a fair criticism in the pastebin.
Building difficulty around your own gameplay as you develop the hack, specially with RNG, is not nice.

[@Alex-yy1fv]

Terrific! Huge congrats for clearing this. I’m still reading your thoughts.

[@tjb0607]

insane accomplishment, massive GGs
