Super Mario World: 30th Anniversary Edition™ (2-15-25)

OP has been updated with a small update to the hack. This hack fixes a fatal crash on snes mini with switch palace message boxes. I normally don't fix inaccurate emulator bugs but this one was so simple and more or less was an issue with the patch used that shouldn't have been left in (a wdm was left in).


Latest version as of today is today (4-29-23). Only bug fix made was for an snes mini issue.

That’d require an overhaul of the engine. It’s too late this far in development and would be more trouble than it’s worth.

I’m going to ask again. If there’s any criticism anyone has towards hard mode let me know!!! I asked a lot of times in the past and hardly anyone answers and now when the hack is released for a good while people are complaining on things. If you have any opinions to voice now is the time. What the plan is so far is to allow being hit twice in hard mode before you die vs once. Dragon coins will now individually save upon touching a midway point, and I’m willing to personally test some levels to judge for myself if it’s too hard (I tested Forest Fortress in it’s entirety for example). Speak up right now if you have any criticisms so far for hard mode. I understand I can’t satisfy everyone but the changes listed above were the majority of complaints. If there’s anything else I should look into now is the chance!

I’m going to remove the magikoopa from forest fortress and the jumping statue. For the smashers I’m going to slow them down to their vanilla speed. I’ll check on the sunken ghost ship for that spot. I’m probably going to remove some Venus fire traps in donut plains 2 as well. I think I need to revise Ludwig’s castle so I’m up for suggestions.

I’m going to ask once more before the deed is done. If there are any specific areas you feel are too much or spike to far etc, now is the time. I’m only deciding to make improvements design wise bc some common things were messaged to me. Only 2 people have replied but I’m aware there’s a group of individuals out there (you know who you are), that have expressed some frustration on some level designs. If you don’t have an smwc account it doesn’t take much to make one or if you’d like to remain anonymous it doesn’t take much to make a discord as well (you don’t even have to download the app, just use it on the browser) and dm me (join smwc server first to be able to msg me). I ask that when I do release an update that polishes up on some criticism that I don’t receive any more messages on asking for changes or ideas bc I’ve asked already multiple times and no one steps up until the product is released. I understand I can’t please everyone and a project will always be “unfinished” but at some point this project will stop and it has to be this next time. The game has been out publicly since February and that should’ve given everyone who has played it more than enough time to formulate their thoughts. So here I am asking once again, if you have something to add or say, no matter how big or small, now is the time bc I’ll be ignoring any future feedback (unless it’s bug fixing related). The more I update this hack the less people care about it (especially on this community). If this all that will come out of this, only 2 people expressing their ideas, then it is what it is and no one can complain if they never spoke up bc I’m asking here and now. What I’ve done so far, Forest Fortress had the jumping statue and magikoopa erased, the 2nd room has been redesigned to be slightly harder, dragon coins individually save, 3 Venus fire traps have been removed from the donut plains 2 pipe ceiling, you can now take 2 hits in hard mode before you die. If you don’t have ideas but do think a levels seems too hard vs it’s surrounding areas just let me know which one it is and I’ll look into it.

The ledge thing is a vanilla glitch. Not sure what’s the best way to fix that.

Not a bug. A lot of secret exits have been moved around, particularly the ones that lead to Star roads.

There’s still bugs present but they’re really random. If the message appears that means the emulator did not pass a hardware test which means emulator inaccuracy bugs are possible. There’s no changing that.
