KIMOKAWAIII title screen

KIMOKAWAIII (also known as SUGOI 3, full title: KIMOKAWAIII Is My Origin, KIMOKAWAIII Always Waits And Is Intensely Interested) is the third and last entry in the SUGOI series, a series of collaborative level packs created by community members under the supervision of TehRealSalt. It contains 56 levels and features work by more than 60 different contributors, created over the months of April and May 2018 in two phases, with the first consisting of collaborative work on levels like the previous iterations (labeled KAWAIII) and a latter phase focused on the creation of custom boss fights (labeled KIMOIII), which later were merged into a single project. The level pack was initially released on August 17th, 2019, and is specially notable for bringing about the last patch of its current version of SRB2, v2.1.25, that catered to PolyObject bugs and a further expansion in the number of freeslots.

Levels

Different from its previous editions, the levels in KIMOKAWAIII are separated into a pair of hubs that are progressed through as a number of levels are completed in each. The levels are presented in the form of shining orbs scattered across the scenery, and can be selected by touching the orbs. In Coop mode, players can vote on whether or not to enter a selected level – the level is only entered if the majority of voters agree. A large assortment of levels, as well as bosses, are already available right from the start in the first hub, and except for each hub's boss stage, none of them require any items or number of completed levels to access, leaving accessibility of the levels mostly to the exploration of the hubs.

Chaos Emeralds are absent from this edition. One emblem is awarded for completing each stage, while many of the stages also contain hidden in-map emblems and/or Record Attack emblems. By collecting 15 emblems in the first hub, Gateway Sanctuary, a boss can be fought to unlock the next hub, Gateway Dimension, containing the second batch of levels and a portal to the final stage and subsequent final boss, that can be unlocked with a total of 30 emblems. Finally, KIMOKAWAIII includes four bonus levels that are unlocked by completing special requirements, as well as a number of auxiliary maps that are used for cutscenes and unlockables.
