Oh man, that was amazing. Your strategies look just about as optimized as they could ever be! You've come a long way. Also, I think this hack is well-made enough to be accepted to TASVideos. It's absolutely revolutionary, just listen to that audio!

I can't believe someone used that actual achievement in romhacking to that purpose.
My first language is not English, so please excuse myself if I write something wrong. I'll do my best do write as cleary as I can, so cope with me here =) (ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ

I can't comment if it's well executed or not, but I'll vote Yes because I love the background music!
I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

Interesting Let's Play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j92NO7UkW8 Also, the "hack" patch is 3582KB. In comparison, the patch for Super Demo World TLC is 1515KB. Clearly this Xka Shack hack must be the best SMW hack ever, right? In seriousness, it doesn't qualify as a hack of SMW, or a hack of anything in particular. It is nothing but homebrew, and it isn't even a game. That's why the patch is 3582KB; the ROM itself is 3649KB and has nothing to do with SMW. (SDW-TLC's ROM is 6145KB.)

Big yes vote because I believe this needs to be published for future generations.

Well does it work if you apply the patch to anything else?

No, but you can make a patch of any game with any ROM. For instance, you could take Super Mario World, and make an IPS of it for Yoshi's Island. Just patch it back to the ROM used to make the patch, and it'll work. Same idea here. It might not contain any of SMW's stuff, but since the patch was made using SMW, you have to patch it back to get the ROM.
