Best custom Single Player episode ever?

There is nothing like playing through a good Jazz single-player levelpack. It doesn't matter if it's fresh off J2O, a staple from the J2C days, or something obscure you found on your old computer. Custom levels made Jazz Jackrabbit 2.

So, the question is: What is your favorite custom single-player episode of all time?

Also, how do you compare custom episodes (specific ones and/or in general) to the standard SP mode of JJ2?

Some suggestions:
Tomb Rabbit
Another Story
QoB
Agent Jazz (or Jazz in the Matrix... somebody clear this up for me plzthx)

I'm not going to spend more than 30 seconds naming these, and I also haven't quite been keeping up with the new downloads. I'm sure you all know plenty timeless homecooked creations in the long history of Jazz.

You know, sometimes you get that itch for all things related to Jazz Jackrabbit. I definitely have it right now.

Rebirth of Evil. The storyline, the way things fit together, the effects, everything was superb.

RHG, the Lost World, Foo Singleplayer, and Mike's well-known SP episode duo.

I'm not able to pick anything that can qualify as "best ever", but I can say what I feel have been the most influencial to me.

Another Story
This pack is very short, and there really isn't a whole lot of gameplay. But what this pack has makes up for that. Another story has extremely innovative concepts in storytelling and jcs usage, an actual plot, and everything seems to go together perfectly. This level pack showed me that I could make something more than just a sequence of levels with JCS. You might also notice that a lot of ideas first introduced here are used in my episodes, as well as a number of homages.

Tomb Rabbit
This level pack is too hard and has a whole bunch of problems, and really isn't all that fun in some parts. Still, it has some concepts which make it pretty amazing. To me, the most important one is the central cavern, and how you visit it many times. This gives the level pack a more immersive feel, as it makes it so that once you leave an area, you haven't left it behind forever. The level pack becomes less of a straight path, and that makes it interesting.

Blur's level pack demo, Moonblaze's pack (I forget their names)
These ones just have cool level design.

n00b: Invasion, not Inside.
KRSplat: Agent Jackrabbit, not Agent Jazz. And Jazz in the Matrix was a different pack.

You didn't placed it in the examples list, but I think The Lost World episode by Ninja Dodo and Jaws is the best. Not only because of the levels and the cool tileset, but the cutscene movies are great also.

Either The Demon Invasion or RHG:TF. The only packs I actually played to the end.

Rebirth of Evil is the only levelpack I have played more than twice, so it gets my vote. ;D
