Back by popular demand, the second BaseROM Level Design Contest is now live!
Co-hosted by AmperSam and myself, we've spent a lot of time, energy and effort making the most feature-packed contest BaseROM we can muster. Now it's your turn to show us what you can make with it.
As we are getting ready to launch SMWC2, and in response to (somewhat) Current Events, we are preparing to move our server from CloudFlare to Sucuri. To complete this process, the server will have to have some downtime.
On Friday, November 11th, SMWCentral will be down for at least a few hours. It is possible that this downtime lasts for longer than expected. We will keep everyone informed of the process and when the site will go back up via Discord and Twitter.
Thank you for your patience as we move the server. And stay tuned for the SMWC2 launch very soon!
Edit: This downtime will start at 10:00 AM GMT (roughly 11 hours from now)!

KLDC 2022 - Entries and Clear Videos now LIVE
It's time to announce the 2022 Kaizo Level Design Contest results entrants!
This year, thanks to the efforts of our screeners and your clear videos, we have put together a resource page for everyone looking to download all of the contest entries in one click. We also have links to clear videos, judging streams, information from the screeners and more!
This year's KLDC is dedicated to the memory of Howard "UghRochester" Hall, and to the joy and happiness he brought us through his friendship, positivity, and love of kaizo SMW.
R.I.P. UghRochester
The SMWCentral staff is heartbroken to join in mourning the sudden loss of Howard Hall, known in the Kaizo community as UghRochester.
As a long-time Twitch streamer of SMW hacks, UghRochester brought a spark of positivity and levity to his playthroughs, and maintained an inclusive and welcoming space for community members to learn about and enjoy watching both new and classic Kaizo SMW hacks. Many people new to streaming Kaizo hacks would find their first follower or subscriber to be Rochester, as he was always among the most willing to go out of his way to support and help new members of the community learn and grow their channels.
Rochester was a beacon of kindness and friendship to many, both online and offline. He could be counted on to be where Kaizo would be played, and his presence always made those events better. Whether he was there as a runner, commentator or just to support his friends and his community, UghRochester’s smile, hospitality and inclusivity became mainstays of Games Done Quick marathons where Super Mario World had a presence, and will be impossible to truly replace.
Our sincere condolences go out to the Hall family and to all who are mourning Howard.
