I am going to review this level as well, since I found so many uga with this level!

Massive update!
I decided to upload the first 2 hours and 46 minutes by itself, and this is becuase tge reocrding is filling up my drive! I hink the video itself is causeing my lag...

Update: I have recorded four hours total and died to the last bullet in te level...

Sorry for double posting, but as the only one who has beaten the level to my knowledge, I will go ahead and make my review...

Spoiler: show
the level is as hard as you advertised, but this is not the hardest level I have beaten, and the hardest level I beaten (in my signiture) is not the hardest level I played... Anyway, regaurdless of difficulty, there is not to much npc/harmfull object variety!
  • spikes
  • luck based hammer brothers
  • thwomps
  • bowser statues
  • chaseing red koopas

There are falling platforms, but you can beat the entie level woth only useing two or three if you are skilled enough! The entire first part is optional as well. I do not know if it isintintional or not, but you an jump to the top and skip the entire first section! The level is impossible without doing this as well, whic makes me ask, did you even test it all in one live? The bowser statues at the end with the two keys are actualy a bit kore difficult this time with the spikes on there head, but becuase of bowser statues + lava = nothing, you have a floatin spike. The bullet bill wall is near impossible to get through, but I did it both ways, float and make a pixle perfect drop, and draw the bullets, and quickly hover to unlok the next/last gate. The six chaseing koopas is a bit over kill with he narrow one limmit!

Also, after the first twomp where you see the bowser statue, you can slide inder the spike wall an glitch through... The spikes made sone parts of the level easier, even the optional beggining!

By the way, the tiner is near impossible to beat in 100 seconds without stoping for the koopas, or the key section, or even the last hammer brother...

Also, I know this is cheating, but you can fly under the entire level with a fairy, blue shoe, or leaf... Can you fix that? Anyway, I think this deserves a

Fair 4/10 (Average)



Anyway, i liked he level an the video will come within a few days, I was recording for about six hours and noone wants a six hour video on ONE level... I speed it up about 32 times notmal speed to get it to about 10 minutes of 1.000+ deths/failurs! (It was longer then 10 minutes, but still...)

??? Just for the information, It is impossible without doing so... Speed running through the third section as fast as possible barely gives me enough time... 100 seconds is very slim...

Really, let me try.
Tries*
No kidding, I'll have to put it back to 1:20, and the bullet bills will have to get removed or moved.

See my point! That bullet bill wall is possible t speed run through, but that is pixel perfect! 100 seconds is 1:40, why would you reduce it by 20 seconds?

I forgot you use central time.
I meant 1:20 as in 1 minute 20 seconds.

That's what he meant, too???

Also, not a fan of levels that have insane difficulty first and good level design last.

Is this the kaizo level you made? IF yes you really will have to beg bosseditor to play it, since he doesn't really like those also.

Bosseditor did the other kaizo levels he's use to them now.

He isn't an LJ anymore though, but I'm sure his review would be approved if he reviewed it.

Holy crap, dude, did you even read my review of the original Cataclysmic Castle? That was one of the reasons I brought up as to why the second section was so boring! Do you even care about making good levels?
Superiorstar wrote:I'll update it soon.
It has been two weeks, and no update.

Anyway, my review of SUPER Cataclysmic Castle
Well, on one hand, you were able to take the boring parts of the original and make them challenging (like section 1, etc.), but on the other hand, you took the unfair parts and made them even more unfair! The worst part is that you did this knowingly, since the only reason this exists is because you got upset when MECHDRAGON777 called your level easy (yet you didn't have any reaction when I called your level boring, but that's because you obviously didn't read my review since you apparently don't care about improving your levels). Normally, I'd go into detail as to why your level is terrible (like how avoiding the hammer bro sprite-swaps is purely luck based), but since this was only made out of spite, on top of the fact that you obviously didn't test the level (or test it well enough) before releasing it (as evidenced by this post), I'm just going to give this a 0/10 and call it a day.

Summary:
GOOD:
-Graphics aren't terrible.
-Music fits the level okay.

BAD:
---PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING ELSE.
