"This grind was really painful and I felt a lot of pressure going for this star for multiple reasons. At first, I thought it would be a new hardest and estimated the difficulty at 8.5 but after practice, this felt quite a bit easier and my final rating ended up being a 7.75. However, that still makes this my 3rd hardest by a pretty solid margin. I also thought for sure I'd FINALLY get my 2nd star after WWMel reds to be a 30+ min completion, but I grabbed the star just 10 seconds shy of that. So still only one 30+ minute star for me.
This star would be fine if it wasn't completely linear. Kougahei and any other extreme hack creators if you are reading this, I don't have a problem with 30 minute red coin stars, I just want to have routing options (the more the better). This star would've been a lot more enjoyable if yellow/green/red/blue towers could be done in any order, I don't even care if the ending stays as is, I just don't like linearity throughout the whole star.
I'm so happy I got this star and finished this hack, overall I'd give this hack an 8/10 in enjoyability. It's quite a bit better than IoF and even EJ imo. Not even gonna bother talking about how vastly superior it is to SNR, which is the least fun of the bunch by far. The VC level was my favorite in this hack and actually probably my favorite japanese kaizo level outside of Treasure World (TW C5 is virtually untouchable tbh)." ~ MorningStormSM64
