Hell Inspector's Mod of Stupidity (Ver 1.1)

The finale definitely flows a LOT better with the nerfed timer and SpongeBob's new placement inside the cage. I was able to beat him my first attempt this time around! Having less terrain to cover seems to eliminate the issue of 'If he gets stuck, your run is dead' that I had earlier with it.

Similarly, the cannonballs having the shockwave feedback makes them much more visually satisfying to fire and gives you a nicer idea of what's going on.

The Wager Race replacement is also really darn fun. Whomp's Fortress translates pretty well into Hit & Run with the scale used. It's neat to have another platforming mission that serves as contrast to Captain Toad's restricting movement! The radar makes things slightly tricky if the player is not using mouse look (I had two runs fail because I couldn't make sense of where the star below the tower was). My only other complaint is the lack of reward for doing the Bonus Mission. Something like a REALLY tiny payout I think would create incentive to revisit the mission. That or removing the timer outright and having a timer that ticks up? Basically so the player can try to speedrun the task and come back to improve their time.
