After my first hack, Yoshi's Despair, got rejected, I began working on a new one called The Last Straw. I completed it in 2008. As far as level design goes, it was an improvement, but I still had a lot to learn.
I had forgotten all about this hack until November 2019, which is when I got the idea of Googling my old username, and I found a copy of it just floating around online, to my surprise.
In 2020, I decided to make a remaster of this hack with the same name. To read about that one, click here.
