version 3 of this game basically takes the challenge out of diego's challenge. contrary to its version number, i actually created this version immediately after version 1 was completed. however, at that time i made it, i wasn't really keeping track of different "version numbers" of the same hack, so this hack's real codename is hack06.
completed in july 2014, it's essentially a handicapped version of the game, with many of the difficult elements of the first version removed. there's only one map in the game now, meaning there's only the main 10 levels.
the only reason i even did this was because the game was too hard for my family to play.

'lite edition' for the not-so-daring
unchanged intro level message
the map now indicates progress
mario's house isn't a stage in and of itself anymore
since the switch palaces were removed, so was the bonus area
the area can now be exited from the side to return to the map.
stages keep more or less the same layout as previous versions
most pits have been sealed off to reduce the amount of deaths
still won't turn around.
messages are the same
a lot of hand-holding and enemy reductions.
same obnoxious taunt messages
nearly 80% of the original enemies are now gone
this message is empty once more
no more item babysitting
just duck. or be small.
just kick and move on.
most bosses now only take 3 hits to defeat
many of the harder enemies, like chucks, were replaced with wimpier enemies like goombas
the enemy reduction rendered a lot of areas deserted and empty.
nearly no pits or areas where you could fall down.
this area was drastically altered to run faster
all enemies in this room are gone
pits were sealed off here, too
interesting how the actual lengths of the levels were left unchanged, though
this area is MUCH easier and less annoying
this area no longer scrolls automatically
pits were sealed off here too
still misspelled Lynette's name
vines were replaced with platforms
no more pits
this place looks dead now
pink birdo instead of the red one. it spits only eggs, not fire
only 3 hits now.
no bottomless pits anymore
the amount of pits sealed off to make this game easier is actually embarrassing.
like, seriously? these big seams are so un-natural.
takes 5 hits to defeat, makes this fight a lot less fun.
even more linear and boring than it already was.
takes 3 hits now.
happily, this stage hardly changed at all
3 hits as well.
dramatic lightning again
giant note blocks to reduce the chance of falling
no more jumping from koopa to koopa with these platforms
cement blocks to break your fall
no more narrow cliffs
the background no longer spins around violently and the enemies aren't outlines anymore
longer vines to hold on to, and if that wasn't enough, here's a floor
now takes 5 hits to kill as opposed to 10
oh and the mushrooms he spawns are now poison mushrooms
lazy design
less obnoxious message
my shirt now changes color depending on my attack. red for fire
yellow for rocks
blue for aerial attack
no longer screaming when defeated
made the run for the exit a bit more frantic
i take back what i said about the screaming
same castle in the end
except now at the castle roof, you can access the gauntlet
ghost moon is in the gauntlet now
and i'm in the gauntlet too
oh boy wonder what it is
a 7-up moon. worst prize ever
in conclusion
in conclusion
this is the opposite extreme in terms of difficulty. now the game is ridiculously easy. why can't i do anything right?
