As some people have stated in the music thread, most SMW hacks (with a few exceptions) feel as if the music was just thrown together without any plan.
To add to that, in many SMW hacks, I find that the graphics, ASM gimmicks, custom sprites/bosses if they exist, and other major aspects often feel that way as well-- style clashes all over the place, resulting in a general feel that signifies to me that it's clearly a fan game.
I think SMWCP2 can be designed to be as well-polished as if it were an officially released Mario game.
Yes, it will have a variety of level designers etc., but isn't that true of most games? If anything, well-designed games created mainly by one person (as much as I admire them) are extremely rare. But there are plenty of "official" games, made by a team of people, that don't feel like everything was mixed together.
Anyway, from reading other threads, I noticed people's opinions sort of trending in this direction, so I decided to make a thread about it... Any comments?
(Note: If anyone has an idea for a more descriptive thread title, feel free to suggest one.)
