Super Mario Another Retro

Great job! I enjoyed every level until the end

This is the most hardest Super Mario World ROM Hacks i've played in my life, and the worst in my opinion.

The transition to levels, title screen, and maps are very creative in my opinion. Same with the levels, the reusing of SMAS sprites of enemies, music, and graphics. This, i can say, it's the ONLY good thing from this ROM Hack.

But... the FUCKING... FUCKING HELLISH DIFFICULTY OF THIS GAME... is what it makes it sooooooooo... bad. It's like playing Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2. Even this ROM Hack's difficulty can be compared with "The Lost Levels".

The level that i FUCKING hate, is in my opinion, the Desert Castle and its Boss. Oh my god, i died, but DIED too many times in that level, because of the stupid difficulty of this ROM Hack.

The Pre-Castle level of Snowy Pursuit, it's literally the hardest level of the game. In some point of it, the camera does that thingie from Sonic games like... moving alone, idk how is the thing called. But the camera is... fast. It's fast, and there's an chance you will not only get anxiety, but you will make one thousand sixty-four GAME OVERS. Yeah, that makes matters worse. This game wants you dead. It will do the possible that you get too many GAME OVERS.

Mario's sprites, in my opinion, are WEIRD. VERY Weird. It doesn't have the same charm of the other sprites. It feels like he's definitely NOT Mario. Very Strange.

This game is literally the ultimate sequel to the 1986 "Lost Levels" game. Because of its impossible levels. SERIOUSLY, THE FIRST LEVELS ARE FUCKING HARD? SERIOUSLY????

"Lost Levels" for me, it's uncanonized, because of its Dark Souls-alike gameplay style (in terms of difficulty), and because of REPLYING the entire SMB-style. It could be an standalone game in the Mario franchise that occours on the same universe but NOT canon into it. So, "Super Mario Another Retro" is literally "Lost Levels 2".

The World 7 Boss, an bare-bones mockery of Iggy Koopa, it's very simple to be on the antepenultimate world. To make matters worse, this boss has BUGS. Just... Bugs. An terrible rom hack in my opinion.

1/10. Cute thingies on the game, while the gameplay is TOO hard, impossible, and almost possible to beat, which sadly won't happen. Done, i've already hammered the final nails into the grave where "Super Mario Another Retro" belongs.

Your opinion would be other, and i'll respect it.

A really good hack.

3/5

Awesome! Keep going on your ROM hacks to play like you did! Good luck!

I was Finally able to play the entire SMW Rom Hack on my Wii, I didn’t run into a single game breaking problem when I played through Cotton Clouds 3 the way I did when I played this on my SNES Mini. The music choice was good some songs I wasn’t a fan of but the others were good, a few frustrating bits here and there but still was a great Rom Hack to play over all, levels and designs were quite good as well. 9/10

Great hack so far just reached world 8 and it's pretty good but there was a bug that someone else pointed out: Also does anyone know the song for "Volcano Krater 1" I've heard it on YouTube and on some hacks but I can't find it anywhere NVM I found it you can find it here https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=viewthread&t=73396 for anyone with the same question

You need a SMW ROM (which you need to find on your own) and an IPS/BPS patcher

how can i play peoples games?

Good Hack 5/5!

Me veo guapo de esa forma

This was the first hack that i've played and was very amazing an fun to play

Amazing Hack! 10/10

Nice hack, even if it was a bit frustrating.

although boss fights were rather cryptic and frustrating, it have really good selection of musics and well-balanced stage designs.

There's a small bug here

In the "game over" screen this appears:

This hack looks great

It's a great Infinity hack, good job, but I think the game's rating should be at least hard, as there are stages and features that show this difficulty, as in the case of not saving the yoshi coins you picked up before the midpoint, I found bugs in castle of the sixth world, where Mario locked up and could also die inside the wall.

i finish the game and i well say is awesome, the boss are from super mario bros 3

if you go to the star road you will find a level from sonic
and the song of the star road is despacito

so much fun in this rom hack

Great job!! Great hack!! Full playability!!! Funny!

I was about to report that specific problem with a screenshot of the problem but was busy in the past several days

anyway here is the pic of the "vanilla" Yoshi message when rescuing Peach (this pic will stay posted and will be removed after 1 month):

Okay, I've found a more major problem that does affect gameplay in a specific spot: In Cotton Clouds 4, shortly after the fifth star coin, there are two Pitching Chucks with a small slope in between them. Something's wrong with that particular slope, because attempting to walk on it causes you to fall through it and die. I think there's an incorrect tile within the middle of that slope that causes this issue.

Also, the world 7 boss fight has issues in my opinion. The instant the boss flips upside down, you can't land on him, or you'll get hurt, even if you're spin jumping, and the upside-down flip can happen instantly without warning. You also get hurt if you land on him while he's in his spinning shell right after landing a successful stomp, again, even if you're spin jumping.

EDIT: Just finished the hack, and found one more "major" issue. When you beat the final boss and rescue Peach, she gives the message for when you first find Yoshi in the vanilla game. Whoopsie!

Hi Nice work and also the music is so good, whats the song name of the DESERT HILLS 4 ? please

I just started co-op playing through this hack with someone, but already found a couple of minor issues:

While playing 2 player, during Luigi's turn, the points shown at the top of the screen are actually still Mario's. I noticed this while watching my partner play and noticing that their score wasn't changing, and then when it was my turn, it turned out it was my score. So, Luigi's score seems to never be shown at all.

Also, after getting the "hurry up" warning for dropping below 100 seconds, the music tempo remained fast upon returning to the map, and persisted into later levels, until a boss was defeated, at which point the tempo finally returned to normal. EDIT: Turns out Start+Selecting out of a cleared level also resets the tempo.

Like I said, though, these are minor and don't actually interfere with gameplay, but I figured they were worth mentioning anyway.

I'm in the middle of the hack and i really enjoy it!! Great level and great music. Some slowdown like in many others hack but not too disturbing for me. I give you 5 stars. Thank you and keep the good work !

Acceptable, but a few things bothered me.

- The vertical free-scroll camera made it harder to focus because Mario's surroundings moved around so much. It also made a lot of jumps blind that otherwise would not be.
- There was a lot of lag. It's unfortunate that it wasn't fixed after it was mentioned during both previous moderations of this hack.
- This softlock was not fixed. I fixed it by adding a ceiling.
- The hitbox for these crushers is several pixels wider than the spikes, which is particularly bad because the crusher spikes in vanilla Super Mario World don't hurt you.
- The fact that this hurts you but these do not is visually confusing.

great, five stars

I am curious as to exactly how you got softlocked in the Yellow Switch Palace. I did not encounter a softlock there during moderation.

softlock in the yellow switch palace

If you go with are shell and are koopa ling inside the shell through a tube the koopaling glitches into the tube.

ther are more bugs whatch second screenshot

Waiting for the next hack. 👍
