Description: Oh, Zach, do you remember the release of Super Mario World? It was a true gaming revelation, a moment when the landscape of the videogame world shifted forever.

Picture it – 1990, that unforgettable year. Super Nintendo Entertainment System, also known as the SNES, (or Super Famicom in Japan) was unveiled to the world, and with it came this extraordinary videogame, Super Mario World.

Kaizo Super Mario World hacking, Zach, is a world of its own – a realm where creativity, ingenuity, and pure mischief collide. Imagine, if you will, taking the canvas of Mario's colorful world and reshaping it into a labyrinth of treacherous obstacles, all designed to test the mettle of even the most seasoned players. It's like crafting an intricate murder scene, where every detail is meticulously planned to keep the detective – or in this case, the player – on their toes. There's a whole community devoted to this, and each creator has their unique style, signature, and charm that they contribute. Much like a modus operandi.

Well, Zach, I've always been a fan of challenges, and this "Kaizo Super Mario World" certainly lives up to its name. It's like navigating through the twisted corridors of the human mind in Greenvale – unexpected, intense, and sometimes downright absurd.

As I guide Mario through these devilishly crafted levels, I can't help but admire the dedication and creativity of those behind this madness. It's as if they've taken the essence of the Red Seeds and injected it into every pixel of this game. But you know me, Zach, I thrive on unraveling the enigmatic and confronting the unconventional.

Each obstacle, each seemingly impossible jump, is a puzzle to solve, much like the intriguing cases that cross my path. But unlike Greenvale's murders, here, failure isn't fatal – only a chance to try again, learn, and grow. It's a reminder that persistence is key, even when we find ourselves repeating the same mistakes.

Kaizo Super Mario World tests not only Mario's abilities but also the player's. It's a trial of patience, precision, and mental fortitude. In many ways, it's akin to profiling a suspect, finding the right approach to crack open the mind of the criminal, no matter how twisted their thoughts may be.

And just like navigating the labyrinth of Greenvale, there are secrets hidden within these levels – hidden blocks, invisible pathways, and shortcuts that demand keen observation. It's not enough to follow the beaten path; to succeed, we must question, explore, and embrace the unexpected. But, Zach, even amidst the chaos and frustration, there's a sense of satisfaction that comes from conquering these seemingly insurmountable challenges. It's like closing a case, putting the pieces together, and finally bringing clarity to a twisted tale.

The world of Kaizo Super Mario World is a reflection of life, really – unpredictable, full of surprises, and sometimes unforgiving. But it's also a reminder that with determination, wit, and the willingness to adapt, we can overcome even the most daunting odds.

So, here I am, delving deeper into this pixelated rabbit hole, determined to face whatever Kaizo Super Mario World throws my way. And just like in Greenvale, I won't back down until I've uncovered every secret, mastered every move, and triumphed over the seemingly impossible.

After all, Zach, life is all about embracing challenges and growing stronger with each step. And whether it's a mysterious murder case or a kaizo level, I'll always be ready to face it head-on, with my trusty coffee and unyielding spirit.

Let's rock!

What a masterpiece, literally a must play chocolate hack.
Thank you guys very much for making this!
Clonio was one of my favorites boss fights ever.
Daldi Link
Now this is how you make a chocolate hack. Coming from someone who mostly enjoys vanilla, this hack is outstanding. All of the gimmicks/mechanics are introduced very well, every thing is very readable, and nothing is excessively tight. I would really encourage players who tend to dislike custom mechanics/assets in their super mario world to give this one a try. It might just change your mind!

One of the most creative and fun hacks I've played so far, definitely in my favorites list since now.

Just beat it yesterday (well I thought so until I read the comments)

UGH!/5 stars 🤩

Amazing hack, easily hack of the year nominee in my book. Also in my opinion team LightAligns / Saela’s best hack to date. If you like their other hacks, definitely give this one a try! Lots of setups and gimmicks that will make you think. Keep up the great work guys, and thank you as always!!

Here is my All Clears of the Hack. I’m also working on an All Secrets video as well. 👀

Final Rating = 5/5 - A Must Play

I'm only about 6 exits in but... Another S&L MASTERPIECE!! This deserves a ton of love. Clearly, a lot of work, care, and testing went into this. Now I need to go back and replay Silencio, of course, I get reminded of that great hack playing through this... Thanks again, guys. Big Thanks.

If I could give it a higher score I would. Really fun setups, readability was great and the artwork is beautiful. GGs to you both!

Saela and LightAligns have done it again. At this point should we even be surprised? You know it is gonna be a banger before you even click download. The creativity and level design are spectacular, and this hack has what I would argue is the best soundtrack on all of SMW Central. Great work guys!

My only complaint, which is more of a compliment:
Unless I missed it, there is no indication or hint to all of the secrets that were so cleverly put in place and enjoyable to play. I had an amazing time with all of the secrets, and I'm afraid many won't even notice they exist. There is also no indication where to get the reward for completing them all, but the minigame/level that follows almost could have been its own hack. I'm sure a ton of work went into all of this so it would be a shame for most people to not get to experience it.

Maybe just having the map counter and dots next to the level names there from the start would have been sufficient to entice exploration. Instead of only unlocking after finding one of the secrets. But what do I know, you two are the geniuses, and I just play your creations. :)

Thanks so much for playing, glad you had fun!
Congrats on finding all the hidden shrines and playing the easteregg level! There might be even more secrets hidden within Glastonbury Grove...
LightAligns Author Link
Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!

My mind is blown!

I tend to spend far too much time exploring off the beaten path in games, which is how I found the shrines and bonus level, yet I somehow missed Glastonbury Grove completely. It's amazing how much content is packed in there, with secrets inside of secrets, and more than half a dozen new levels waiting to be played.

It's such a shame most people will just stop at 100% assuming the game is complete, because there is so much more awesome content that deserves to be experienced. By definition, since they don't count towards completion would you call all of these secrets easter eggs? If so they are by far the most enjoyable easter eggs I have ever experienced. Bravo!


Now the question is, have I officially completed everything, or are you gonna hit me with something else I missed that leads to more awesome content?
LightAligns Author Link
Haha, glad you liked it! We really wanted to have something that felt like that old school NES/SNES unknown secret that some people would just have no clue existed until they heard about it.


Did you happen to collect the moon at the end of Make Me An Offer? If you figured out what the message box at the end of the secret hub you need yoshi for was referencing and played that, I think the moon might be the only thing left if you didn't get it.
OffByWon Link
Well you definitely hit the nail on the head if you were going for old school NES-style secrets. After reading that I have to say I'm sorry I keep pushing for some way to let players know there is more hack to be discovered. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised to find out about Glastonbury Grove the way I did from you guys, instead of finding it myself.

The moon in Make Me and Offer was actually the first secret I found. That made me explore even more and in turn discover the shrines. I then assumed there would be a reward for all of them, so I went back to Wildest Dreams and played that level, before even knowing of Glastonbury Grove, so when I got that final message box I had already played the referenced level haha.

I guess I've officially completed everything, and all of the secret content really just put the icing on an already amazing experience!

just wow.
the music, level design, and aesthetics are setting the bar so high for kaizo mario.

yall hit your stride with this one. so damn good #smrpg{y}
JumpMatt Link
Once again, Saela and LightAligns hit it out of the park with a hack. This hack has great aesthetics, cool/fun/unique ASM gimmicks, innovative level design, and some good music. I do a couple small criticisms which I will get to, but I just want to thank S&L for making another banger hack, and continuing to provide great content for the kaizo community. I consistently look forward to every hack you guys release.

Small criticisms:
-In the level where you
swap between starman on/off state
I thought the indicator for when to do this was very confusing. In my opinion they were way too similar.
-The
fireball shooting level where you shoot forward/up/down it felt like the mashing that was required would cause damage to my controller. I would have preferred if there were fewer targets that were more difficult to hit, and less spam. Especially the L/R spam sections.
I don't really think it actually caused damage to my controller, but it's already in pretty rough shape from all the romhacks. I'm sure that didn't help.
-I thought the level where you
swap between Super and Standard mario states
was very trial-and-error. You are rushed along, and not given any time to parse the platforming puzzles. It became quite frustrating making 1 or 2 screens worth of progress, just to die to the next obstacle because you don't know how it will work with this gimmick until you do it. This is arguable whether this is even a problem, but I didn't like the very trial-and-error nature of the level. I still enjoyed the level nonetheless however.

Overall, despite these few nitpicks, this is easily a 5/5 hack, and possibly your guys' best work yet as others have said.

Another amazing collab by S&L! The attention to the detail, the lore, the creativity, the tunes, gimmicks, smooth flow and knowing how to keep you guessing. This has definitely been one of the most fun experiences I've had playing/testing. Great work guys, can't wait til the next one! UGH! #smw{:peace:}
SteamyPanini Link
Yup, when LightAligns/Saela release a new hack, you know its quality stuff. But I wanna say this one is yours best work so far. Super creative and just the right amount of quirky gimmicks. Good flow all over the place. Tons of fun and thank you for making! #smw{:peace:}

I got through three exits before work this morning. The setups were so good! Amazing work as always, I look forward to the rest of the hack.

If this is seen during a drkrdnk video, then hi Drk, and hi YouTube!
