| Description: | Super Mario World: Christmas Edition is a hack I made when I saw all the awesome Winter/Ice EXGFX made by the SMWCentral Community. Each level ,except for the Switch Palaces, is Winter/Ice themed. I used all custom snow sprites that I could find and used them in many different ways. The .zip filoe contains an English and a German version of this hack. This hack is very traditional and awesome to play during the Christmas days with your friends or family! Merry Christmas! |

The levels were generally pretty fun and pleasant to look at. However, I found the bosses disproportionately difficult.
I appreciated the checkpoint right before each boss, but would have also appreciated some kind of life farm, or a 1-up mushroom right before the boss door. You were pretty generous with sprinkling 1-ups throughout the game, and they would have probably been sufficient to get me through the first two bosses, but I would have definitely gotten multiple game-overs while fighting the final boss (I play hacks with the infinite-lives patch applied because I don't like losing time to game-overs).
I agree with Virus610 that a hack's difficulty should be a function of its hardest required level (https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=71678), and believe this hack should be "hard" due to at least the final boss.
When you beat the level right before the last one ("Victory Road"), you can press right to go to the Star World. (I had started the first level of the Star World, but didn't have every switch palace, so did not complete it.) You can then move left from the right exit of Star World, play the "MERRY CHRISTMAS" bonus level, then exit Star World and navigate to the Back Door without having all the Switch Palaces completed.
Same thought here : what an awesome hack ! I totally found the spirit of Christmas playing your game, all levels are designed in that way, and the overworld is clear and cleverly designed too.
Difficulty is OK, all the levels are beatable without using savestates, though the latter bosses are quite difficult, especially the final boss, purely RNG based, which can make the fight long and difficult.
You put 32 exits in the game but I found only 30. I don't think I missed something (though totally possible), so maybe the 2 remaining exits are linked to the front and back door of Undine castle, after which we cannot save and so the SRAM indicates 30 ?
10/10 (5 stars) Thank you very much for bringing us this great game for Christmas =]

The base game is challenging enough to not bore you and easy enough to not make you rip your hair out. There is mostly a good balance in difficult here and there. Sometimes, this hack has some weird design choices and some passages are a little bit unfair or confusing, if you don't know the level already, but this is very, very, very rarely the case.For the secrets you need to have some skill (or a feather and little, tiny bit of luck like me) to get through them. The game aids you with plenty of possibilities to get lives and powerups.The difficulty curve of this game (at least for me) can be weirdly organized at times (like some of the late game levels are way shorter than some of the earlier ones). However, if you played the original SMW you shouldn't have any problems with this hacks difficulty.For his first casual hack he did a very good job. Sure, there are some small issues here and there, but otherwise it's a pretty good holiday themed hack that I can recommend everyone to check out, if you get like 2 free hours (best played in December).
This would get a score of 4.5 out of 5 from me, but I guess 4 out of 5 should do it too. Looking forward for more casual hacks from this user.
