Tip: Try sketching out ideas for overworlds and levels. Even if they don't manage to fit into Lunar Magic completely, at least you have a base to work from, instead of doing it all from scratch.
Kaizo Mario World, also known as Asshole Mario, is a hack created by T. Takemoto for his friend R. Kiba. It features extremely sadistic, unique and groundbreaking level design. This is also the hack that started it all, since the kaizo genre wasn't existent beforehand. The literal translation of "Kaizo Mario World" is "自作の改造マリオ（スーパーマリオワールド）を友人にプレイさせる", or in plain English, "Making my friend play through my Mario hack (Super Mario World)". Kaizo is a rough translation of the word "modify" or "change" in Japanese.
I had the pleasure of finishing this hack without Savestates playing on my cell phone ... I didn't do it 100% because the Cave phase in the special world or the fish are very random ... but, 5/5 for the great challenge it provided me !!!
The original kaizo hack, it's still pretty fun to try to beat savestateless. The lack of a retry option and no infinite lives by default hurts it when comparing with modern kaizo hacks.
