Part 5: Rushed ending

And here we are, at bowser valley... kind of, so, through all these videos I have been mentioning the stars scattered across the four worlds, what's the deal with them? they lead to original levels, what do I mean by this? They lead to vanilla smw levels, they aren't even edited, and one of them doesn't lead anywhere at all, now, if this was a DEMO I could understand, but the SMWC Page says this is complete, then why does this seem like a half baked ending? even looking at LM it seems like there were plans for an ice world but was scrapped, this was done in 2008, and the guy who did this doesn't seem to be active anymore, so it all would remain a mystery.
As for W5 itsel, it's fine, a bit tedious as all autoscrollers are but fine, final castle can be a bit long, and it is, on top of not having a midpoint, but overall this was fine

Conclusion:
This hack is overall a good old hack, it's not as bad as other hacks from the time, it has good aesthetics (not all the levels that is) but the lack of indication for secret exits, the vanilla levels and some spammy levels makes me wonder if this was somehow rushed, there were plans for a sequel but again, nothing came out of it, I say try this one if you want a moderate challenge from the old times
