Overview
Baron of Shell is a hack that I've had in the works for almost two years. It is my take on a classic shell hack, but it includes more traditional platforming elements than today's shell hacks. It uses traditional shell physics. There is a practice / tutorial path that provides insight into some of the more esoteric item abuse setups.
My goal with this hack was to show how diverse shell levels can be, and to push the narrative on item abuse in Super Mario World. Although there are a lot of Uberasm patches and custom sprites at work, the hack at its core is vanilla and vanilla inspired.

This hack is not made for everyone. There are a lot of people who will hate this hack; it was not made for them. It was made for the players who love shells and item abuse.

This hack has can cause repetitive strain injury if you are not careful. Please take periodic breaks so you don't hurt yourself.

This hack uses Uberasm that requires BOTH L & R to be used. If you use a nontraditional joystick or remap your buttons, this may be a problem for you.
