An alternative first half to Chapter 5 that makes one wonder how the rest of the game would go with the interesting new partner skills. Sprite recolors and Sparkies looked nice, but it would have been nice to see a map retexture. I loved the writing!

For a first Paper Mario mod, this is absolutely mindblowing. The fact that you reused Chapter 5's Fearsome Five segments might initially come off as lazy, and while it certainly saved you time on map editing it's clear that you used that saved time to work on every other aspect.

The battles are significantly more difficult, which I wouldn't mind if it was possible to save inbetween battles without the enemies respawning. There's new enemies (well, they're really just heavily modified vanilla enemies I guess), some new items, and a ton of new dialogue. To counter the challenging enemy formations, the partners have been given a bunch of new moves which are just amazing really. Shoutouts to the Nuclear Bonk and the Triple Zest specifically.

With all that said, I still think more could've been done to separate this mod from the base game segment it's clearly patched over. You could've edited textures here and there, recolored a whole bunch of things (heck, maybe vertex painting would've been enough in some areas), changed some small details in the maps...

Still, this mod was a lot of fun to play, and I hope to see more from you in the future.

This Mod was made by JackitK, A modder I am not too familiar with but glad to see his work.

The idea behind this mod is very nintendo-like and fits well within the Mario RPG setting, A expedition into a island made of sweets using the Chapter 5 area was clever and fitted well. The Map itself wasn't too different but there was so many little text changes and dialog changes all over the place. There was a lot of work to sell the concept on paper. The real changes were the redesigned baddies as well as partners and new attacks. It was refreshing playing through chapter 5 Jungle hunt while testing all the new attacks and even really worked in a very cool elemental system for one of the new partners. I LOVED some of the new attacks and the interaction with baddies and the elemental system and hope to see this in a full hack soon! 

This was a fun romp and worth a playthrough to see my boi RUSH!
