Tip: You can use the SMW Customizer to edit tons of misc. features in SMW, including the speed of Bullet Bills, how many points a 3-UP moon gives you, and more!
Invictus is a chocolate kaizo hack with a touch of vanilla charm that will challenge even the most experienced players. It aims to be fun, whilst remaining difficult albeit fair. It took the entirety of my free time over the course of nine months to learn and build. Good luck, and enjoy!
This hack features:
- 20 individual, challenging levels with instant retry
- An impressive coded-from-scratch final boss (courtesy of Kaizoman/Thomas)
- A fine assortment of custom assets, including a bangin' soundtrack
- NO hidden blocks. Studies claim fun has increased by 200%!
- Loads of secrets for those who explore a little deeper...
Special thanks to Nexus15, Freakin_HA, HmWhyNot, ChrisG___, White_Moth, Hiro_sofT, DanTheVP, LadiesMan217 and Kaizoman for all of their assistance, patience and hard work in helping me to make this hack a reality. This game wouldn't exist without them.

I found a frustrating bug in the last level. If you start/select out of the final boss, then reenter the level, the two cement platforms that normally rise from the bottom of the screen at the start of the second phase do not appear, so you can't win. It remains like this on all retries, and even if you start/select again and visit a different level, when you return, the fight will still be unwinnable. The only solution I could find is to reset and play the entire level again. I have tested this twice on SNES9x and it happened both times. Janky hack, mate.
While I've greatly enjoyed this game, I hope at some point you will upload a version with a checkpoint saver. Losing your progress on a long level with multiple sections is absolutely brutal for a noob like me.
This was the hack that made me decide to play and not only watch Kaizo on YouTube. After a few months of practice beating a handful of easier Kaizo hacks have I now also beaten this BEAUTIFUL game.
Kamek got me sour at the end, but it's still an easy 5/5.
Favorite levels were Built to Fall and Absolute Power. Everyone and their mother now seems to have a motor skills level in their hack thanks to Invictus. Thanks Juz?
Surely one of the greatest chocolate Kaizo hacks ever made. ALl in all very fair, could not find anything voerly jank yet. Can't wait to finish it, enjoyed every last bit of it so far!
This ranks up there as one of my favorite hacks of all time. It's got a really innovative blend of style that presents a tough challenge without getting tedious. Great work!
This hack really pushes the limit of smw and is just overall awesome with all the kaizo tech that is presented here, this hack is totally 3/10 material, may I even say... 4/10?
