Super Mario World Hacks - Where to start?

[poloplayr]

After seeing the New Super Mario Bros Wii I realised how much I've missed a 2D Mario platformer on a home console, so I decided to check out some of the many many hacks that are out there via my Wii's wonderful SNES emulation.

But, seeing how there are hundreds of these at various degrees of quality/completion, I am very keen to hear people's recommendations and feedback on some of these. Where's a good place to start?

Your input is much appreciated.

Kaizo World... trust me on that one

[poloplayr]

Cheers, mate. Will try to locate it!

Bring tissues and/or alcohol.

There's a user by the name of Goron50 on youtube that plays through a tonne of hacks. They most of the time are good ones so they could help you track some down as well.

That's not nice.

Demo World: The Legend Continues and The Second Reality Project will get you started.

There are a couple of other good ones I've heard of, but I can't recall their names at the moment. You may also enjoy the Mushroom Kingdom Fusion beta and Super Mario: Blue Twilight DX.

EDIT: Brutal Mario! That's what I was thinking of. See also DDCecil's hack.

I think that one could be linked to dramatic emo suicides.

I like DDCecil's hack, because it isn't freaking impossible. Super Demo World is great demonstration of what is possible with FuSoYa's editor, but unless you use savestates, it is nearly impossible.

Demo World isn't that bad. I mean, if you're going to call that "impossible", then you've severely limited the available vocabulary for Kaizo Mairo.

smwcentral.com absolutely THE place to go, and you can even get tools to make your own.

I enjoyed Mario is missing 2: Luigi's Adventure. That's the only hack I've finished so far.

Yeah, stay away from Super Kaizo World.

Yeah, stay away from Super Kaizo World.

The only fun part of Super Kaizo World is watching videos of other people trying to play it.

Yes those videos are fun but it has to have commentary. Its always fun to listen to someone have a coniption fit over Kaizo Mario World.

Probably the most impressive one I've happened to watch so far is the NicoNico music video:

Of course, that's not exactly "playable".

I may have to redownload this one, last time I tried to play the ROM Luigi kept running everywhere without me controlling him.
