Metroidvania hacks?

Hey, I was wondering if there exist any good Metroidvania-style Super Mario World hacks. There are hacks which take hours to complete and, instead of levels, have a big branching world with one objective: explore. Can people give me some suggestions, please? There are so many Super Mario World hacks that are level-based. I'd like something different.

Weird that the 'Metroidvania' tag is so empty, but I think hacks of the type you're looking for might be found in the 'Exploration' tag instead. Not all of them will be single-level nonlinear affairs, though.

I would recommend looking into Super Mario Adventure for a fuller-fledged map, or Il Maniero Spettrale for something a bit smaller that you can wrap your head around (For someone looking for inspiration without delving deep in a huge map).

I haven't found a Metroidvania hack with a good map system though, so


Other Submissions of mine!
I know this is an old thread, but I would like to add my hack to the metroidvania list.

Super Mario World - Mario's Expedition

I did everything I could to make it as similar as possible to a real metroidvania. Every level are connected to make one huge world where you need to explore to find power-ups that will open new paths.
I also tried to implement a map system that you can access with signs placed all over the world

I'm surprised there haven't really been any new metroidvania hack since this thread was created, but I hope mine will encourage some to try to make this style of hack
