Super Mega Cart

**Super Mega Cart** is a special cartridge, acquired through collecting all 9 regular cartridges. They can be collected in any order and the final one triggers a short cutscene, in which Ash assembles the full Super Mega Cart by connecting previously connected cartridges to each other.

The cartridge features all levels of regular cartridges, plus a bonus tenth world at the end, which cannot be accessed any other way. The bonus world is referred to as the Mystery Castle. Super Mega Cart contains 1000 rings (100 in each world) and grants more lives than a normal cartridge (9 lives to start with + 3 Continues).

The first and last level of each regular cartridge in the Super Mega Cart are edited, so that all worlds create a continuous path. The order of worlds is as follows:

Mortaman, Blaster Massacre, River City Rancid, Catastrovania, Dig Dead, Ash Climber, Fallen Fantasy, Rubble Bobble, Morbid Gear, Mystery Castle.

## Mystery Castle

Mystery Castle is the final world of the Super Mega Cart. It consists of 10 levels, like every other world. Mystery Castle's gameplay features spikes popping out of the ground at even time intervals, as well as three enemy types:

* Fireballs - deadly objects that get launched out of lava pools at even intervals, following a set trajectory. Fireballs will bounce off of solid surfaces and will leave a trail of embers behind when moving. Touching a fireball will kill Ash.
* Anchorfish - fish-like creature chained to a solid block. Anchorfish move in a circle in a set direction around the block they're chained to. There are three chain length variations - short, medium, and long. Touching the fish will kill Ash.
* Hoast - crawling creature, which uses human skull as a protective shell. Only one appears in Mystery Castle, in its final level, where it represents a joke final boss. It moves from side to side and is indifferent to Ash. Jumping on top of the hoast allows Ash to bounce off of its skull shell. Touching the sides of the hoast will kill Ash.

Finishing the Super Mega Cart requires Ash to collect the button above the throne in Mystery Castle 10. Once the button is collected, the platform under the "final boss" disappears, and the hoast falls into lava.

## Ending

Reaching the end of the Super Mega Cart and collecting the button above the throne in the last level of Mystery Castle leads to a cutscene. The cutscene shows an image of Ash sitting on the castle's throne with the ascender blob from SS Exodus next to him.

Scrolling text appears on top of the image.

**Full text of the cutscene:**

```
After conquering the 10 Plains of Torpor and vanquishing the twisted ruler of this land (let's call him "Slug Skull The Terrible"), Ash sits atop his throne, looking out toward the land he now calls home. Being adored by basically everything alive enough to look in his general direction.

Where will his next adventure take him? Space perhaps? The 9 rings of Hell? Or possibly the recesses of his own mind? Who knows?

Maybe he will just settle down, snuggle up to something with a few functional organs and make some tumors of his own.

He'd probably give them weird names, like Fankle, Hang-A-Bur or Coitus. You know, good, strong, unique names, so the children can know they are different. The kids at school may laugh, but maybe Ash will teach the little ones a few one-liners to keep em in check...

Like "FUCK YOU!" or "How are you even commenting on my name if you aren't even alive or whatever."

Either way, good times will be had for sure. I mean, Ash is a hero and our adventure can't end here. We've only started to know him. Like, remember when we all discovered his disdain for wallnuts? Or that time it was revealed that Ash was actually just cancer the whole time and all those memories he had were actually those of his host?!

What a twist, right?

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that Ash is a hero, and this is but a small chapter in his life. Or lack there of... I'm still not even sure if he counts as being alive. But I digress.

ASH = HERO

YOU = WINNER

THE END
