Description: SMW Friends and Rivalry is a Super Mario World hack with traditional level design akin to the Mario games made by Nintendo.

Here's a trailer for what to expect of the hack:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K27NsqRDHUQ

It features 90+ new levels and 118 exits across 9 worlds.
Also a lot of new stuff have been added to make this hack feel like a new and grand adventure like new moves for Mario, custom sprites, custom music, graphics, lots of quality of life improvements to the gameplay like faster P-baloon and fast swiming and much more.

Story:
Mario and his friends were preparing for a party on Jamboree island, a resort paradise by the sea.
However Kamek comes out of nowhere and hipnotize everyone while Mario was out on the market buying some drinks for the party, now Mario must go on an adventure where he will have to face his turned-evil hipnotized friends to rescue them from the spell and defeat Kamek

The hack is available in English and Brazilian Portuguese translations and there are also 2 .bps patches included that allows you to play a slighty harder version of the game if you want to challenge yourself.

I hope you enjoy the new adventure with Mario and his friends!
-Bandicoot

Who gave this hack 4 starts instead of 5? It deserves all 5! #smw{:peace:}

Olha, a hack é muito bonita e entendo a etiqueta de "difícil" na dificuldade, porém tem certos níveis que o damage boost se faz necessário. Você coloca vários obstáculos na frente do jogador e as vezes é apenas impossível não ser atingido por algo, um exemplo disso é a fase antes do switch verde, na última tela, na parte dos golfinhos você colocou espinhos no chão, e os golfinhos afundam até o fim da água, e simplesmente não tem espaço na tela de onde ir nesse momento você fez questão de entupir o topo da tela de canhão. Acho que poderia ser feito uma revisão pra tirar e testar esses momentos mais injustos dos níveis, do mais é uma hack ótima.#tb{''}

A very solid hack with a extra challenge for those who want to collect anything.
It really changes how I look at a level if I'm actually exploring versus simply going for a clear.
Everything was well polished and I enjoyed the flair of the music choices.

There are a few annoying things involving the pitfall mechanic.

If you fall into a pit, you will take damage and be thrown out of it. If you are holding a powerup, it will be completely deleted as it tries to give it to you when you are offscreen.

Its also easy to get caught under platforms on the way up, so you need to be very aware of your momentum when falling in.

(Of course, its still better than dying to a pit outright! <3)

9.5/10 Hack for me, Yippee!

incredible hack, both in length and design

5.0/5 but I noticed that when loading the game after exiting it doesn't colour the moons, keys, yoshi coins and that ‘yes’ sign. Please fix this, because I can't tell if this problem has a negative effect on the percentages of this game.

A must have. No doubt, Bandicoot deserve the hall of fame.#smrpg{y}

I absolutely loved this hack a lot. I beated the game at 101% and collected all moons and Yoshi Coins, the music is very fitting and cool and the levels are well designed and varied. There are some things that i call my attention

Several moons requires switch palaces that can be available in the next world and some of them are in the sky in which a blue coin locates you where the moon is which it requires to fly in order to get that moon.

The level "Dino in the City", you can hear a woman saying "Oh, me" in which if you trigger a sound effect like hitting a question block with coins, her voice cuts off.

Also on the topic of the music, the ending after defeating Kamek and in the Special World overworld map is the iconic and legendary Rickroll song "Never Gonna Give You Up" from Rick Astley.

Just finished the game with 101% with all 3up moons and dragon coins.

I don't know how you do it bandicoot but your hacks keep getting better and better. The overworld was really well designed and lots of detail, I loved all the different themes.

The themes were top notch, loved all the new backgrounds and level designs.
World 8 was my favorite theme combining ice with fire. Or mixing ghost house with fire. Very cool
I loved that the levels weren't all just linear. Eg: bring P switch or key back to a certain area. I really enjoyed that. Using more key doors like the phanto level would have been nice to see in more levels maybe to hide 3up moons or secret exits. I loved that you brought back some tank and airship levels. Also love that you added wall kicks and long jumps to the hack and that some areas have to use it.

I really loved the increase in difficulty towards the end. I really love a good challenge.

I loved and completed all of your hacks but this is definitely my favorite so far. Solid 5 STARS! #smw{:peace:}

Suggestions for future hacks
Would love to see a new hack with maybe some new power ups, like Ice flower/penguin, frog suit, koopa shell, tanooki, mini mushroom, or cat suit. This way Toad houses in each world can have a different power up dedicated to that world. Or maybe you need a certain power up to find a secret area in an previous world level. It would have also been nice to see baby yoshi or color yoshis themed levels even just a few. Like maybe yellow yoshi for the yellow switch palace where only his power comes in handy and blue switch palace for flying yoshi ect. Just some ideas.
BlackDays Link
Got 101% in this today. Great hack from start to finish! I think you did a great job with the difficulty curve. I also thought the music, art, and enemy choices all fit together in a way that definitely gives your hacks an identifiable style. Great job, as always!

The key failing to spawn glitch also happens in Balloon Glide Alps.

Before actually playing the hack, I must say that I greatly appreciate you providing an alternative version that restores vanilla SMW's powerup mechanics. I have always preferred the vanilla powerup system; in my opinion most hacks that revert powered-up Mario to big Mario--instead of small Mario--upon damage fail to increase their difficulty and diminish powerup availability accordingly, and thereby trivialize non-lethal contact damage by increasing both the number of hits Mario can take and the number of hits granted by second-tier powerups.

Thanks Bandicoot, another truly awesome hack! I really enjoyed the story and managed to collect all Yoshi Coins and Moons. There was a lot of awesome gimmicks in this game.
My favourite was the exploding podoboos... So simple yet very effective! The fight with Kamek at the end was very intense and the song choice after you defeat him really made me laugh #tb{^V^}. I really liked the wavy effect in the volcano levels nearer to the end too. I've never seen anything like that before. It really added to the intensity of the level!


I thoroughly enjoyed this hack from start to finish, but as always with your hacks I felt absolutly battered by the end...
It was quite a relief to see your Crash avatar saying GG lol #tb{^V^}


Keep up the good work mate. Looking forward ot the next adventure #smw{:peace:}

In Autumn Glade, the key may refuse to spawn due to too many sprites already on the screen. It’s possible to attempt another key spawn by going backward, then forward again, but the design of the secret section makes doing so very difficult.
jBL00D Link
If I didn't read this comment I would have never found the key. Thanks! Also I would suggest making one of the end pipes a reset pipe to take you back to the start of that area in case the key doesn't spawn.
Falchion315 Link
I’ve found two issues so far. In The Golden Tower, it’s possible for the moving platforms to spawn too far away from each other, forcing you to lose a life. Not even the Cape Feather can counter this glitch. Cold Iceberg Pass has a quiz that asks you about a level that comes after it.
The_Vigilante Link
spent like 5 minutes trying to figure out what to do here and didnt realize it was a pipe, i recommend putting some sort of indicator here so it doenst happen to other people
Besides that, this hack is REALLY good so far
GoodShot Link
Very nice hack!! Thank you for your efforts and pleasure!!

I think the level LEAVE ME ALONE!! only has 4 yoshi coins. According to a guide I saw in youtube the fifth coin wich is in a gap, in thecealing near the check point is missimg in this version of the game.
bandicoot Author Link
the one youre missing is probably the one above the pipe to the second section right after the midway point
here's a map of the level to help you

despite the overworld checklists listng moons i cant find any of the moons in any level
and the empty party hut has no yoshii coins despite it having overworld checkmark for it
bandicoot Author Link
the moons are very well hidden most of the time, in some cases you will need a feather to fly and find the moon.
hint:pay attention to some random blue coins that appear in some levels
also lots of them will require a specific switch palace that unlocks a new extra hard section of the level
ShirleyVAga Link
are there yoshi coins etc in the empty party hut too?
i can't find anything but one magikoopa there
erpster2 Link
you have to beat kamek first in his tower level in the last world (aka. world 8); so you have to essentially play the whole game.
then after defeating kamek, return to the empty hut level in the 1st world and all the yoshi coins & 3up moon will appear before the goal

Alansanchez412 Link
Does this game will be a update that fix all issues?
Green Jerry Link

How do you beat the secret exit in Pipe Maze Mansion without turning the key Mario holds into a fake one?
You can only get to the key by pipe, and when you enter a pipe while holding one, the game spawns another key and turns the one Mario holds into a fake one, which won't activate the keyhole.
Green Jerry Link
I found out how to avoid that: Just make sure the other key doesn't show up on screen, or else the key Mario holds won't work.
bandicoot Author Link
Thank you for reporting, I didnt know this "fake key" bug was even a thing that existed in SMW, I"ll would try to fix it now but it has already been claimed, so probably in a future update
Enan63 Link
An amazing way to start off 2025! Can't wait to play this!

-UPDATE-

I originally uploaded the game with an optional hard dificulty version that came in a separate bps patch, however I was informed by the moderator that a hard mode had to uploaded in a separate submission, so I updated the game(with some small improvements) removing the hard version patch from the package.

However for those interested in the hard version I decided to make it available in my user profile(just click my name and you should find it at the end of the list of hacks I made).
Alansanchez412 Link
What is the difference between the Normal and Hard versions?
bandicoot Author Link
@Alansanchez412 - The hard version has very small diferences that makes the game harder overall however the level design is basically the same with some small tweaks here and there, however if youre gonna play for the first time Its recomended that you play this regular version first so you can get a natural evolution of the game's dificulty.
