Hey, everybody, it's your shell jump wizard.

Oh, fuck, I died to...

Ah!

Can't even... Come on, man. I've practiced this thing for two hours now.

And it is I, your spin-jumping bruiser, Jake, and Holden, why are we doing a entire episode

about a thing I physically am unable to even remotely engage with? Well, because I am completely and utterly fascinated by it.

This is definitely one of those episodes I was excited to do for me.

Let's go ahead and just give the synopsis,

because this feels a little Hatsune Miku a little bit.

You know what I mean?

In the sense of like, when you know, you know, but maybe you don't

know. And so... What? Now, everybody's familiar with Jisaku No Kaizu-Mario-Ni-Play-Sas-eru.

Kaiso Mario refers to ROM hacks, usually of Super Mario World, that are generally known to be extremely

challenging. Kaiso Mario World, released by T. Takimoto in 2007, is the first ROM hack to officially

use the word Kaizu in the title, and it established a lot of the elements seen in many

ROM hacks to follow.

Kaiso, by the way, it is the Japanese word for rearrange or mod, but has added the implication

of difficulty in that rearrangement.

You may be familiar with a YouTube series called Asshole Mario.

For the longest time, I thought Kaiser meant asshole.

That was something I also learned.

Yes.
