Because SMB3 deserved a Kaizo.
Kaizo doesn't want you to win. Kaizo wants you to die and lose. Kaizo Mario Bros 3 will troll you humorously and creatively in the process (because everyone's already seen the invisible coin block gag).
Using stock game mechanics for every single item means that everything you learned in SMB3 will translate to this hack, but you will need to go above and beyond in terms of problem solving to figure out the puzzles. Some require you to perform obscure game mechanics in ways that are unorthodox. Everything requires a heavy dose of highly technical movement skill.
The author can only hope some folks will attempt the challenge and enjoy the thought put in to every single level.
