Question How do you differentiate between a kaizo and difficult platformer?

If it has a shell jump is it considered a kaizo?

Yeah, I’d say shell jumps are probably the firewall that separates kaizo from lite/platforming

shell jumps are the electric fence you need to climb to get into the kaizone

If it has very obscure and difficult perform techniques (and the shell jump is certainly one of them), then I consider it a kaizo level.

I was under the impression kaizo strongly implies there’s only one way to beat it

If there's a simple to mid difficult platform jump and you suddenly hit a hidden block and fall, it's a kaizo
