General Commentary and Game Overview
Fierce Days. The result of people saying "OMFG HELLO'S GAMES ARE 2 HARD LOLZ." You thought SMB: The Lost Levels was hard? This game will show you what hard really means. You might start with 80 lives, but you'll probably lose 20 of them before finishing the first level. And that's just the beginning. As for myself, I cannot seem to complete the fortress. But from what I have seen, this goes beyond Nintendo Hard. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Super Mario Bros. version of Platform Hell. Except maybe without 100% trapped platforms but you get the idea.
 
Pros It's hard (or challenging, if you prefer that word), yet fun.
 
Cons The engine still hasn't been fixed. JudgeSpear may have fixed it for Mushroom Kingdom Fusion, but since MKF isn't purely Mario-based, I think the creator should fix these glitches:

1. Invulnerable for only one second after attack. Go with maybe three?

2. Sometimes horizontal speed goes to 0 when you hit the ceiling.

3. You can get stuck in walls.

4. Hammers fall ridiculously fast.

5. Mario nudges to the right on moving platforms.

A game should be hard only because it's hard, not because of the engine. Engine trouble is like fake difficulty.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
As I said earlier, Hello, you seriously need to fix those bugs. They make the game hard for all the wrong reasons.

Other than that, It's almost Kazio Mario, without save states.
 
Graphics
6 / 10
Traditional SMB3? SMB3 is extremely overused. Hello, I've seen your work designing levels for Mushroom Kingdom Fusion, why stick to SMB3 here?
 
Sound
8 / 10
Lol when I heard the Electric Guitar playing Super Mario 64 music.

Most music was great, Hello, but do you have to use Mario's voice for almost everything?
 
Replay
10 / 10
This will keep you playing, even if you keep dying in the exact same room.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
If you easily get frustrated as your character's lives plummet, don't play this game. For Kazio Mario addicts and IWBTG players, welcome to Hello's hellish creation. Hello. Hell. Hehe.

Anyways, it's a great game Hello, you just need to fix the glitches.
