Waifu Cauldron is a major ROM hack created by MorningStorm. It features a total of over 15 levels and 119 Stars.
Created as an inspiring parody of Insanity Cauldron, this extreme kaizo hack was designed with the intent of mixing creative jumps and traditional object edit gimmicks. Additionally, a new jump ability known as the dive wallkick is added as the newest mechanic feature.
Plot[]
The story of the hack takes place in a alternate universe where Mario crosses over the world of Anime and must save 15 pure maidens from the evil clutches of Periligion (which is played by Bowser).
Periligion has enacted a plan to get rid of Anime in the entire world and no one could stop him doing so! That is until YOU, [Mario, the stupid fat idiot], has to stop his evil deeds by protecting and serving the cute anime girls in their well-guarded cauldrons.
War rages on as Surreality Impreligion, the horrifying embodiment of reality, takes over the fantasy world of Anime. BUT... can you ultimately embrace the will and power of your favorite anime waifus?!
Levels[]
Most of the levels are named after female characters from various anime series in which MorningStorm favors the most. Furthermore, several also include a level buff from other ROM hacks.
