Question
Specific answer required. In an anonymously released game of this type, a “Masterpiece Hall” level poses the question of whether video games are art while a remix of Smash Mouth's “All-Star” plays. That game, Sonic Saves the World, was allegedly made by Celeste developer Maddy Thorson. The term “motor skills” denotes segments of these games where players can alternate their movement type mid-jump, a mechanic pioneered by Morsel. Chocolate types of these games add custom mechanics, while vanilla types use default assets one would find in the Lunar Magic engine. These games are sometimes titled to pay tribute to content creators who specialize in playing them, such as (*) PangaeaPanga and GrandPooBear. Invisible coin blocks and precise shell jumps are signature features of Kaizo levels in these games. For 10 points, name this type of game, an alteration of a classic SNES platformer that introduced Yoshi. ■END■
ANSWER: Super Mario World ROM hacks [accept Kaizo Mario or Asshole Mario before “Kaizo”; accept SMW in place of “Super Mario World”; accept mods in place of “ROM hacks”; prompt on “mods” or “ROM hacks” with “of what specific game?”; prompt on answers like “Mario ROM hacks” with “what specific Mario game?”; reject answers with other titles like “Super Mario Bros.” or “Super Mario World 2”]
