Super Mario World (Kaizo Edition)

No doubt some of you are aware by now of the brand new Super Mario World Internet sensation sweeping the web; Super Mario World (Kaizo Edition). Not for the faint-hearted, this particular ROM hack appears to be developed by Satan himself, utilising some of SMW's most notorious enemies and obstacles in near-ridiculous situations to produce possibly the most insane 'game' ever created. It really has to be seen (and played) to be believed.

Not one to shy away from challenges (and excuses to replay my favourite game - albeit in a heavily disguised self-suicide edition) I have decided to play through the entire thing for your pleasure. I'm still learning the ropes, as it were, but I'll be uploading the results to YouTube (and this thread) as I progress. You can download the ROM file from the link below and play yourself. Update (09/11/07) - As of today I have completed the game, and have also uploaded a number of related files which are listed below. You can also view any of my videos at any time by clicking on the links below. Enjoy.

Place both of these ROM files in the same directory and load up the .smc file into your favourite SNES emulator to play.

Includes Lunar Magic Mario World Level Editor and Super Mario World ROM (US Version). Load up the Lunar Magic Mario World Level Editor and load up the SMW ROM from the file menu. Now you can use the menus and toolbars to edit and design your own Super Mario World hack and save the result to a seperate ROM image. Remember to upload any interesting designs here.

Holy shit. :lol:

How did the guy make this, anyway?

[WesT]

Did you really do that in one run? :lol:

I cant even finish the original on the virtual console.

[JPickford (retired mod)]

Bloody hell. All these years and I never knew you could use spinny jump to safely jump on those spikey turtles.

You can download the Super Mario World level editor there and it's ridiculously easy to use (you just drag & drop things with the mouse); someone should set up a collaborative romhack like the rllmuk counter-strike map or 2ch's Vipper Mario World.

So how many takes/savestates did it take to beat that level?

[dood]

Jesus face. I mean, there's hard, and then there's pointlessly, ridiculously difficult!! Hats off to you, good sir!

I shit myself on your behalf several times just watching it!

[CurryKitten]

Wow, fantastic to watch - I was thinking how long is took to "learn" some of the levels in the Lost levels, but this stuff is off the scale. My hat is well and truely off to you.

[Sabreman]

Holy. Shit.

[allday247]

You guys need to see this then.
A video of somebody on their 1st run through one of the levels with live commentary.
Genuine lol's to be had :lol:

Watch This

[fish]

That's level 1-1 !? :lol:

[FozZ]

That's just silly. Well done.

[Qazimod]

Holy mother of god, that's impressive stuff Dave. It reminds me of that hacked Super Mario Bros. thing; you've got to have the patience of a saint (or save states) to try and get through one of those stages, let alone a sizeable portion of the game.

Now that would be amazing. The basics of Lunar Magic are dead straighforward, plus all the resources you need are available online, so it's not as exclusive as the CS thingy.

[Alex W.]

O_o

I had a nightmare like that once.

[DangerM]

Insane.

I hate 'games' like this though. They dont require skill, just patience.

[Uzi]

What

The

Fuck

Amazing.

[noob]

;)

:lol:

[Dandy_Sephy]

Holy crap on a stick. Thats 5x more ridiculous then i expected.

Even more ridiculous is this 48.95 second speed run
