Tip: Make sure that ALL exit-enabled pipes, doors, etc. have a screen exit defined, or they'll take you to Level 0, the "endless" bonus game. Unless Start+Select is enabled, the only way out of it is to reset the game.

Details for The 8th Annual Vanilla Level Design Contest: Collaboration Hack
This is SMW Central's third completed collaboration hack based off of the 2015 Vanilla Level Design Contest (VLDC.) It contains 95 levels which you can play in any order you wish - all of them are open from the start except for the secret world, which is unlocked by completing every exit in the game (please read Release Notes.txt for a few more details).
Note that the hack autosaves after each completed level, and "marks off" levels as you beat them with a checkmark icon. Really good things come to those who are completionists...
Enjoy!
NOTE TO ZSNES USERS:
Read the "Release Notes" included with the hack patch. It IS important for you.
I was just co-op playing this with someone else, but encountered a problem where Luigi can't successfully reach the Special World once it's unlocked. Details in this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBIo2yii-tk
A great example of showing how difficult good level design is. A pain to 100% complete, but does a great job of showing people what you should make and what you shouldn't.
I'll try downloading this again. The only trouble that I have with this hack is that is plays at less than 60fps, so continuously it freezes every few seconds.
finished the whole hack lots of very good levels and the average ones where not to bad but variety path lets down the whole experience a bit shame that has two check marks but still good overall.
Any way to get to world x without getting both exits on variety path like a level that had two exits but is marked as one the normal exit in variety path really really sucks. It would be great if there was😄
Was in a thRead or topic I do not know the exact name of the forum and spoke who wanted to release the COMPILATION VLDC2 VLDC3 VLDC4 VLDC5 VLDC6, and, then, if that will be successful so be it, I played with VLDC1, VLDC7 and VLDC8
Nice hack! 5/5
I'm currently trying to beat the entire hack, getting every exit & yoshi coins. I've completed the grass world, the worst world and some other levels.
The title screen level was enough to sell me on this (figuratively speaking). Thank you for releasing this, SMWC; I can tell lots of effort was put into this hack.
I HONESTLY LOVE THIS HACK The music is awesome! The Levl designis amazing! the only problem I have with this is that you dont keep your power up when you go to the next level. other than that its awesome
This hacks looks amazing. But sadly whenever I try patching the IPS on the game I keep getting a black screen. AM I doing something wrong?
1. Your Super Mario World ROM might be broken (corrupt), unclean or unheadered.
2. You're using an wrong emulator.
3. You downloaded a wrong Super Mario World ROM like the Japanese or the European ROM. You need the USA ROM.
4. You patched the ips with a edited ROM.
Hi again,
After much effort, we almost have the game working on real SA1 hardware. https://youtu.be/j6sow5atB5w
There is currently an overworld map issue that needs to be fixed. So it's not quite ready for real hardware but it's getting close.
So this post was originally me complaining about my issues getting this working. Turned out I was just using an unheadered ROM.
So this hack is pretty amazing. The levels I've played so far [the entire grass area and some of the caves] are well designed for the most part. Out of the ~20 levels I've played so far there's only been one or two misses or levels I didn't like.
The graphics are good. The custom assets/recolors fit in well with the artstyle, and it all goes together well.
As someone who is music obsessed, so I'm going to give a wall of text on the music in this hack. I've played a few SMW hacks before, and the music used the SMW instruments in a believable way. But this hack is just nuts. There's a lot of complexity and instruments/sounds I've never heard in an SMW hack before. The compositions are amazing, and I've heard covers from a variety of games and what I believe to be originals too. I think I heard a song from Tyrian in here somewhere, I heard an amazingly accurate rendition of Geothermal from Cave Story, and various remixes of SMW songs.
Overall I really like this one. The fact that it's a collab hack makes it feel like SMWCP, but without any of the major issues I had with SMWCP. Whenever the next one happens, I'm definitely going to participate.
Edit: Never mind. I see that the emulator creates a 1mbit (128K) srm file. I can firmly say that this will NOT work on real hardware. I have tested it on real hardware with every variation of SA1 carts. I even upgraded the SRAM to 1Mbit (128k) to see if that was the issue. Nice to know that there is no cart (flash or real) that will play this hack (sarcasm).
It's mostly because it was available. It allows people to have 20 sprites on-screen at once and most people just use emulators anyway so they saw more pros than cons.
HuFlungDu I think was planning on making a version that didn't use SA-1, but I don't think that ever came to fruition.
I see. So only SA1 carts can use this hack or emulators of course. WHY was this hack designed for the SA1? I don't see the benefit if it limits you on how you can play it....
I wish you guys at least would read important information included in hacks, like release notes or a ReadMe so you'd know if the hack breaks in a specific old emulator or not, which is the case with this one.
Also edited the description of the hack a little bit.
This collab Hack is very nice and fantastic but it has a problem.
The game suddenly crash for no reason or game stops and go back to title screen.

It's not even in development, and it's not in the plans either. Really, look things through before asking these questions.
