Description: Mario’s Ruined Seclusion is a standard choco-nilla hack of normal difficulty. In this hack, you will explore 6 distinct worlds and 31 levels (+ a final boss) that each contain their own unique set pieces.

Story:
Mario and the Princess were having a picnic in the forest. While Mario went into the woods to pick some berries, Bowser crept in and snatched up the Princess! He has taken her to his brand new castle in the Defiled Isle, where she is being held hostage. It is up to the Mario Bros. to save the Princess yet again!

Features:
- 6 worlds with 31 exits.
- Levels that each introduce their own unique gimmicks, ideas, and set pieces.
- Custom music.
- A few custom graphics – Some made by me that are SMW-inspired, and some ripped from other SNES games.
- A minimalist HUD (DKCR Styled Sprite Status Bar by Ladida, lx5, and wye).
- Instead of having the same old castles at the end of each world, there are “final test” levels with varying themes.

I hope you enjoy my first ROM hack!

This was really good. The aesthetics were fantastic, loved the visuals and the music choices alike. On the gameplay side, it was a little too easy up until about the last two worlds, but was still good fun. A few of my favorite levels were Delete Water, Two Hour Delay, Slide or Die, Pencilvania Avenue, Didn't See Those, and Avoid the Walls.

My biggest criticism would be
that the vanilla Bowser fight at the end was a letdown
. Also, it's a pretty minor technical issue, but I noticed a couple levels didn't have the save prompt pop up afterwards (sorry, I didn't think to keep track of which ones, but there was at least one instance where that happened.) Oh, and I noticed that in a lot of levels, you quite pointedly put some way to reach the top of the end goal, but with the removal of star points, there didn't seem to be a reason to do so, unless breaking the tape when it's at the very top grants you a 1-UP or something that I missed. Not really a flaw, just something that seemed slightly curious to me.

Very good on the whole, I'll be sure to check out Daisy's Crazy Adventure, 4/5.

This is my favorite hack that I’ve played so far! A nice difficulty curve but it doesn't get frustratingly hard at the end. I enjoyed the length. The only negative thing I can think of is the
vanilla Bowser fight
at the end, but that feels minor compared to how much fun I had playing this. I will definitely play this one over and over again! Hope you make more hacks in the future!

Really fun SMW mod! A bit disappointed at the end as it’s
just a vanilla bowser fight
but other than that, everything in the mod is really creative and fun! Even the water levels were fun! Overall 10/10 Awesome mod!!!

What a positively delightful hack! A bit on the easy side, but still manages to be interesting with lots of well-executed gimmicks. Stellar job.

Really cool hack! Most levels weren't too difficult and the game as a whole was a big barrell of fun to play! The music was especially amazing!
Thanks BllueSheep! Top job #tb{^V^}#smw{:peace:}

Perfect to play on short trips.

Really fun, short and sweet hack, It has this Mario 1 kind of purity to it that makesit fun to run through. None of the levels are too complex although things do get pretty interesting throughout in some levels. It's just good ol Mario with some cool new twists and ideas. Its almost hard to believe this whole hack is vanilla gameplay wise.

i love the music! ^^

Fantastic way of showcasing level ideas coupled with amazing use of vanilla assets to create unique aesthetics. Each level is memorable in some sort of way. This hack has some great flow in how it presents its ideas. I can easily recommend this hack for anyone who wants a chill experience with some small doses of challenge.

Finished this one in about two hours, the level design and level ideas are great and its a very fun experience overall!
Gamezopher Link
Fabulous work with this hack! I really love the overall mood. Question: from which other games tracks for the very first level come from, and what about the second level (mansion). I've heard almost every gaming soundtracks, especially SNES ones, and I never heard those tracks unless they were composed by your team.

one question - what happened to Divine Mario World?
BlueSheep123 Author Link
I gave up on creating that hack years ago. Back in late 2021-early 2022, my interest in hacking came back so I decided to make this.
Mr. MS Link
This is a really, really great hack, the levels are fun, the aesthetics are nice, overall a pleasant experience.

Amazing first hack! Really enjoyed playing this one.

Thanks for playing!

Fantastic hack. I appreciated the attention to graphical detail and the reuse of vanilla tiles to make new graphics (e.g. brambles). Level design was also fun and gimmicky while being predominantly vanilla. Would recommend this to anyone starting out or looking for an easier hack.

Thanks, I'm glad you found it to be on the easier side.
