Hack Summary
A SMRPG Roguelike hack! It has two modes:
- Campaign: You fight enemies and bosses in an progression similar to the main game. Between gauntlets of battle rooms, you can save, heal, shop, or challenge a version of Thousand Year Door's Pit of 100 Trials. You can do a boss rush to skip to the ending sooner if you feel confident or re-do older areas to grind if you're having trouble.
- The Pit of 100 Nightmares: Fight your way through 100 floors of battles while experiencing roguelike elements, such as randomly added allies, paying for random items and equipment, and random groups of enemies (that still follow a progression that makes sense).
Features:
- Switch all allies, you don't have to use Mario.
- Battle music switcher
- Items to boost stats
- New equipment
- New enemies, including rare variants that drop frog coins (like in the remake-ish)

A very original idea for an SMRPG ROM Hack, it's mostly just combat, but you can build your own kind of challenges as you go, and while I don't love the Pit of 100 Nightmares mode as much as the campaign mode, it's very cool that both are included.
- Fun challenges as you go through a series of fight gauntlets like the battle rooms in the original's Bowser's Keep.
- Choose your playable character(s), allowing you to use whatever party you want or solo with whoever you want.
- If you find it too easy at times, it's easy to overlay any other challenges you way want using your own personal restraint.
- Some characters are very difficult to start with (I don't know how you're going to do the first bit with just Peach)
