Super Mario World Remix

Really enjoyed this game and learned a lot to help beat kaizo hacks like Quickie.

It's a great hack, but I think it's more difficult than all the "hard" hacks that I've been playing (such as CMW1, CMW2 and CMW3 (those are the only that I remember I've finished)). But, after all, it's an awesome hack that uses very well the vanilla resources.

PS: The only level that I personally don't liked was "2 spooky 4 u". In that level I needed the help of YT tutorials.

this is a really fun vanilla hack with cool ideas and challenging secrets. despite having been originally classified as kaizo it never comes across to me as cruel, and some levels even have different ways of playing them depending on your skill level (which kind of goes against the idea of kaizo). its name definitely suits it: this hack remixes vanilla mechanics in ways not seen in SMW to create an experience that feels like it picks up right where SMW's special world leaves off. highly recommended.

awesome just perfect hack! 5/5 star

Extremely fun hack! I've played through at least a dozen times. Definitely not a Kaizo hack...much easier...but very fun and highly recommended nonetheless.

Difficulty changed from Kaizo: Light to Hard. While the level design is Kaizo-like, it is much more forgiving (e.g. there are plenty of powerups). You can also use the cape to make the hack much easier, including flying over some levels.

So... this is the hack where Matt made it a few years ago, before he went to make Celeste.

Pretty fun hack but definitely some jank and some frustrating parts/levels. Definitely not kaizo at all. I was able to "break" multiple levels using yoshi and/or the cape. Also using yoshi to double eat P switches made certain things much much easier. Longest pow and 2spooky4u were just annoying imo. Impressive how wuickly iy was made but more time to polish and play test would have been better.
Overall 3 or 3.5 out of 5.

Good job, a very good hack and some interesting ideas !

Amazing hack. One of my favorites. But its not Kaizo. It can be Hard or maybe Very Hard.

good looking map

This is the most fun hack I've ever played, and you made it in two weeks. it's astounding. I don't think Kaizo light fits here though, more hard.

so far i did 10 exits and i gotta agree with all the comments.
this is NOT kaizo light. its not even very hard. i think i only came across 2 jumps that required SOME precission. the rating for this one is really broken.

but its decent.

you can bring powerups etc with you.
for example the first level when you move up is this one:

with yoshi you can skip like 90% of the hack.

I would say that "hard" will suit this better than "kaizo". It is a neat hack, and is one of my favourites.

This hack is great. However, 2 SPOOKY 4 U is kind of hard. I beat it, but it's still rather difficult. Also, it might be me, but the actual door that progresses you through the stage leads me to a room of garble? What?

Fantastic! I just finished it without save states. I really recommend this hack. Only one place stumped me: 2 Spooky 4 U. I looked up a portion of it on a youtube video. Great experience.

Hey. I'm basically stuck in the level "2SPOOKY4U".

I don't understand at all how to solve it.

I started playing this not so long ago. I've been having a lot of fun. But on Yellow Switch Palace I'm getting an instant death. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Awesome work right here, really fun, creative design.
thanks for this!

This is the first Hack in a long time that makes me wanna play without savestates and actually complete it... Good job mate!

I had been looking for a hack that would introduce me "gently" to Kaizo difficulty, and this was the perfect hack for that, although Super Mario World Remix is so many other great things as well! Truly a breath of fresh air so to speak, one of the best SMW ROM hacks I have played in a long while! Amazing, creative, and challenging!

YMM is the reason I got into game design. Everything he touches is gold.

Played this not too long ago and it's really sweet hack. Really interesting that it combines the usual level design with some Kaizo philosophy without really requiring savestates.

I'd say give this a shot if you wish - though expect some incredibly challenging stuff along with the creativity.

Absolutely incredible in how simple, unique ideas are milked in an energetic, entertaining, fast-paced setup in this hack. Levels are long enough to be substantive but overstay their welcome. This hack feels diverse as a result. It does tread the line between Hard and Kaizo but it's designed around a predictable pace you as the player can keep naturally so it's very enjoyable. Trial-and-error exists, but it's handled well: midway points exist so if a section blindsides you because you forgot an item and can't go back, there isn't much loss to get back to where you were.

Despite being a first hack and made quickly, this is actually one of my favourite SMW hacks. The levels are hard, but very creatively designed, and not so long that they grow tiring or are overly frustrating to complete without save states.

e: should work now.

Anyway, this is a pretty neat hack and I recommend giving it a try. It should be possible without savestates and isn't very difficult, but I marked it as "Kaizo: Light" because it's still above most "Hard" hacks I know.

Nice work with this. The hack plays nicely overall, and there are quite a few creative obstacles, specially from a vanilla (apparently) hack. Had a lot of fun all the way through.

The only thing I'd like to mention are one or two unfair obstacles, such as the Bullet Bill wall at Garden Stroll, but those are far from each other and very few, and I didn't want to remove the hack just for that, as otherwise it's surprisingly good. The difficulty was leaning more towards Kaizo: Light to me, though, but I'd like to hear more opinions on this if possible, specially because I'm not experienced with Kaizo hacks. It still seems harder than the usual "Hard" hack, so I changed it for now.

Anyway, great job with this, specially considering it's your first hack.
