while not absolutely godawful jesus christ this is rough around the edges. Difficulty is all over the place, some stars are way too obscure, someone thought Sandy Seaside Bay's music was acceptable, a handful of secrets which are supposed to be visible in the version i played just aren't, and most offensive of all is the almost complete removal of the Lakitu camera, i know it barely works in the hack but it would have made some stars such as those where you hop up lava falls significantly more bearable.
if I ever see anyone compare this to Star Road again i'm going to commit a felony
