Super Mario World: A Super Mario Adventure 3

Mountaneering.:

You can get into this area here using the spring.



While not a softlock, it's still a weird place to hang out in.

Downtown Rexville.:

There is a tiny bit of lag on the secret exit section in this level.

College Park.:

This level has an extra Luigi Coin in it.

Chunk Yunk:

This level too has extra Luigi Coins.

Fish for Dinner:

You can still kill dolphins with a Koopa shell.



Hitting these fish bounces Yoshi WAY up into the sky.



Bubble Blast:

While the lag is gone, you can eat the green berries here.



Ship Exploration:

Due to the new Goal Sphere ending, you can get hit by the gas bubble and remain in a sitting pose even when dismounted.

Green Switch:

Now the blocks on the overworld are blue, still not the correct color.



Doomsday Ship:

You can softlock yourself here if you manage to wall jump off of the invisible walls, only on this side though, since the other side has a hole you can pass through.

OH GOD, I'M DIZZY!:

Not sure if the ending section is necessarily new, but i really like how it played.
It was way more fun than the beginning section, that's for sure.

Well well well... we are entering new territory here bros, let's begin!

Spiny Go Bounce.:

There is a discolored green berry here.



A very fun level to jump around in.
I love the gimmick of jumping spiny eggs(?)
I think this level could use a bit more regular spinies and maybe a few more lakitus, but other than that, it's a great level.
Great start for World 6.

Forest Fire!! AHH!:

The background turns into brown flames when the message is on screen, but then turns back into normal after the message closes.



This piranha plant thing appears for a split second when revealing the level.



A solid fire levels, quite challenging.
The aesthetics are uhmm... Well they looks awesome but i feel like they deviate a bit too much from this hack's style.
The foreground I'd say is fine, but the background is a bit too "real".
Also, on the overworld, there are barely trees near this stage, in fact, there isn't any, there are just pillars here.
Not a huge deal but can be a bit confusing.

Simple Platforming.:

The name says it all, a simple athletic level with semi-speedy autoscroll.
Kinda weird that the ON/OFF mechanic was ever used once, I'd love to see some setups with that mechanic in mind, because as of now, it's just platforms and saws.
Also noticed in this level that when you spin jump while the green saws play the sfx, the spin jump sfx will sound really weird.
And yeah, that's pretty much what I had to say about the level.
Simple.

Katie's Candies:

Want a totally different experience from the previous level? Well, here is Katie's Candies!
This level is bonkers.
The song is really funny and the visuals are amazing.
I was smiling the whole time while playing this level, it was so fun and the design of suited the song really well.
Honestly, I'd love to see a whole candy themed world, seems like a very fun theme to work around.
Great work!

Spike Ft. Skikes?:

What's a Skike? Lol.
Spikes! A lot of them, and one is even flying!
I love how this level plays at the beginning, but near the end it went a bit unfocused, with some gimmicks introduced but not fulfilled upon, like the red spike balls, and the para-spike.
They feel more like one-off challenges, which isn't necessarily bad, but seeing more setups with them would be nice.
The aesthetics are pretty basic, would be cool to see some sort of wind or parallax clouds in here, maybe a bit of a misty effect of sorts.
Otherwise, solid level.

Spukhaus.:

This level is all sorts of awesome!
Firstly, the layout of the level is quite confusing, but it isn't confusing in a bad way.
Secondly, the way the rooms are projected and all of the mini challenges in between them are incredible.
And lastly, the secret exit is just mind blowing, it's looks ripped straight from your first hack in this series!
The secret exit level itself was really well made, with quite a few different sorts of enemies and uses for such enemies.
It's just fantastic.

RTX on. Doilus #3!:

TRUE! This is so true it's unreal. (Also, you don't need a dash in outdated)



This was a very goofy stage, to say the least.
It was fun to run around in the "RTX ON" world of SMW.
Great level, and quite a deviation from the regular Doilus Stages.
Honestly, I'd prefer these kinds of Doilus Stages, instead of the regular "collect a bunch of coins" type stuff.

What do I name this:

This was a really trippy castle, I'm loving the abstract-y theme of it.
(also since you mentioned that by this point the glitchiness started to take effect, I won't touch up on stuff that I deem glitchy in this level.)
(Mostly the dolphin-piranha plant hybrid, the painting and some other stuff.)
Honestly, I'd love to see the background being flipped upside down, would be a great addition to the level.
Maybe when the level acts like water you flip it upside down, but when it acts normally you flip it back to how it originally looked.

Anyway that's it for World 6, quite a bizarre world, with some wacky levels and designs.
I really love Katie's Candies and Spukhaus, those were amazing levels that are very memorable.
The Doilus Stage was also fun to explore.
Enough of me rambling about how great the levels are, we have more stuff to play.

Boo's Woods.:

A spooky, autumn forest themed level!
Really nice to see the "haunted" theme used in a hack, it's such a good theme not many people have used.
The level itself is a pretty standard ghosty level, bunch of boos, eeries and big boos.
I love the special world reskins of the koopa and goomba, they fit well with the style of the level.

Snow of Dreams.:

A gimmicky level! Very neat!
Fits well with the theme, spin jumping on the eerie was a fun concept, and it was executed well.
I wouldn't really say that this level was "snowy", since it's more purple than white, but I guess it fits, since you could have purple snow in your dreams.
The aesthetics are mostly the same as the last stage, but purple. The second section has a wind generator, which is cool.

Spooky Ghost House.:

The ghost on the overworld needs to be moved down by a tile, if you want it to go behind the house.
Straight-forward ghost house!
The rooms are interesting, different in their own way, with the layout slightly changed to compensate.
Nothing much else to add, really cool.

Bone-Dry Dunes.:

Pretty solid desert level, though, I think some changes could improve it.
The tileset is pretty okay, but the Tar in it acts like Quicksand, which is probably not what most people think of when picturing Tar.
The mist also doesn't make a lot of sense, when I picture a desert, I picture wind and sand in the air, not mist. So a cluster gen with wind particles would suit the level better.
You could also emulate a "hot" atmosphere with some slight either fg or bg waves.
Otherwise the level itself is pretty good, not a fan of the music that much, but it fits.

Kumo no mori!:

I have mixed feelings about this level.
It feels kind of repetitive with some setups, and I haven't seen much deviation of what the SML spiders are doing.
The theme is also a bit confusing, Is this a deserty forest level? Is this a ruins level? The music makes it even more confusing, since its the pyramid theme from SML.
It's an okay level, but I feel like it could use quite a bit of polishing and evolution in setups and design.

Red Switch!:

Pretty standard switch, we get yellow yoshi back here, which is pretty cool.
And the blocks on the overworld are red! Awesome!

Castle of Big Boo.:

Discolored red switch palace blocks, as well as the boss door.



This level is kind of okay, it's not anything spectacular or shocking.
It's a straight forward castle level, with a few ghost enemies, and a neat looking palette.
The boss is basically the same as Chunk Yunk, but with a different layout, although it makes sense, since he's a ghost here. (Speaking of which, why is the boss in Chunk Yunk a Big Boo?)

Anyway, that concludes World 7.
Pretty cool world, had its highs and had it's lows, but overall it was pretty cool.
The haunted theme was pretty nice, though I feel like it was a great opportunity to add more ghost enemies, like the ones from YI, or something.

I remember seeing this on discord, really cool Nintendo Presents!



Minor spelling mistake here, should be "you're" instead of "your".



So uhm, going through this opening cutscene the normal way without skipping leads you to a hardlock.
You'd have to restart the rom to continue.
However, skipping the opening cutscene loads the intro message as expected.

Yoshi's Review Hut.:

I really like the tutorials here, they explain the mechanics well.
In the second sentence of the first paragraph in "Overworld", the word "around." is spelled wrong.



Apart from a spelling mistake in Yoshi's Review Hut, World 1 was without issues! I really like the new aesthetic look of the levels, especially Yoki's Skies.
Well done!

World 2 had no issues, which is rather surprising, lol.
The new boss in World 2 was kinda underwhelming, it was just two rooms of Chucks.
Would be cool if we were to fight some sort of ultimate chuck, or like king chuck.

Inky's Lair:

Apparently, when you have a shell while holding right on the edge of spikes, you'd get a series of glitched graphics.



Fish for Dinner:

You can STILL kill the dolphins with the shell.



The background shifts when you gain control of Mario.



This happens even when going into other areas.
Although it makes the background shift, the parallax effect is really nice!

Doilus Stage #1:

The same background shift applies here.
Multiple problems here.



From this point, due to the cloud spawning, Yoshi turns and stays invisible.
Also, Yoshi's tongue is cut off when tonguing off-screen.

Plumber's Pendulum:

This weird piranha plant thing shows up when the castle destruction starts.



World 3 was pretty solid, I really like the new aesthetic changes, especially the parallax.

Balloon Ride 2:

Uhhmm, yeah.



Fireballs look like that now, interesting.

Platform Panic:

Spining (Spinjumping and/or Cape Spinning) around flying chainsaws produces a really weird buzz noise.

Green Switch:

Hitting this message box instantly ends the level, as opposed to stepping on the switch.
(Edit: It also doesn't seem to activate the switch at all, even though the animation on the overworld showed up)



Doomsday Ship:

You have an extra d in "kidnapped".



You can end up in here using the cape and wall jumping.

Plant Gang Ft. Ice:

This block isn't solid, thus Mario can go through it and probably die.



OH GOD, I'M DIZZY!:

The second section of the level has the same issue as in Platform Panic.

Apparently I didn't write anything for World 6, so I guess it has no issues. Lol.

Snow of Dreams:

These giant swoopers has glitched graphics.



Castle of Big Boo:

This level has seen significant improvement since last time I played it.
I really like the dark yet epic atmosphere.
Brings out the best in the level.

New territory for me, let's go!

8-bit Dream:

You can softlock yourself here if you manage to jump over the flag pole and scroll all the way to the end.



Pretty solid 8-bit level, graphics by Gamma V, as always.
Rather odd to see SMB3 Koopas in blue and yellow variants, as well as the red switch palace block.
Caught me off-guard how the level uses the screen lock uberasm (aka the same screen scroll as SMB1), Eventually i got used to it.

Tryful's Cave:

Another pretty solid 8-bit level, again, graphics by Gamma V.
Uses one of my ports, yay!
Anyway, the level is designed well, has some ups and downs but its not too bad.
Although I do suggest turning most of the terrains map16 into priority on (except maybe semi solids), because you can see marios feet and body behind some decorations but over terrain, which can look weird.

Somari?:

Almost timed out in this level, without even knowing it.
When the timer hits below 100 seconds, the "speed up!" jingle doesn't play, which isn't a big deal, but in the level where it has lots of verticality and exploration, you should probably notify the player when they have low time.
And, I'd also suggest raising the timer by like, 200 seconds or so, so the player doesn't have to rush through the level.
Otherwise, the level is pretty solid, gives huge sonic vibes, especially because it has great verticality.
Although, at the end of the level, the end song plays a lot louder than the other songs, which is uhhh.. not good.
It also messes up the overworld song, making it louder and slightly more stereo.

Shy Guy Fields:

SMB2 Styled level!
Has a bunch of SMB2 enemies, and also the logs in the waterfalls, which look really nice.
The music is a bit weird, but it's not bad.
The vertical section heavily reminded me of the first room in SMB2, pretty neat.
The Birdo was also nice, liking how you used Heavy Calling here =P.

8-bit Waters:

An okay water level, heavy SMB3 vibes.
The underwater section looks pretty nice, the music is also a bop.
The lotus' are kind of annoying, but it's not a big deal.

Somari's Lair:

Man, this level sure is all over the place.
I really like the visuals, even though most of it is glitchy crap.
I especially like how the levels slowly becomes more and more glitchy as it goes on.
Although, there probably should be less junk in the room where you fight Somari, because they can be a bit distracting and annoying.
Definitely more of the wackier levels of this hack.

Plant Gang Again:

I really dig the aesthetics in this level, the rainbow in the background looks beautiful.
I already know that this world is gonna be one of my favorites by the aesthetics alone.
I also love the use of the ptooies, they are used in a neat way.
The level is decently challenging, it is harder, as stated by the message in the previous castle, but in a fair way.

Goonie Flyway:

Oh boy! That surely was a ride.
The gimmicks here are great!
The wing cap took a bit of getting used to but once you did, you were unstoppable.
Aesthetics are the same as the previous level, which isn't bad, it actually fits quite well.
The autoscrolling section was a decent challenge, the part where you have to throw throw blocks was a bit odd because I couldn't get rid of them as easily, but it's not a huge issue.

Doilus Stage #5! (Where is Doilus Stage #4?):

Pretty standard level, maybe a bit too standard.
This didn't really feel like a doilus stage or like a regular level, it's something in the middle.
It's pretty okay, but it's not really something special, like you'd expect from a doilus stage.
Not bad, just nothing special.
I also suggest increasing the time here, since you can run out of time pretty easily.
It's cool that we get blue yoshi here though.

Blue Switch!:

Get your colors straight!



Anyway, kinda weird how we got yoshi in the previous level, then immediately lost him in this one.
Nothing else to say about this, it's a pretty standard Switch Palace.

Davey's Rainbow:

Ooo, stationary magikoopas.
This level is all about quick reactions and being observant as to not get hit by the magikoopa magic.
There's this one part of the level when you have to spin jump on the magic, it's a bit out of place and wasn't used again in the level, so either expand on the gimmick or remove it.
Otherwise pretty solid level.

Into the End Game:

This level sure is difficult, which a bunch of line guided platforms, sleeping goombas and chainsaws.
Probably the hardest one so far, which is good, since we're near the end of the game.
The aesthetics are mostly the same, like the other levels.
The sleeping goombas on platforms were really interesting obstacles, I liked how they were used.
There is a nasty line guided platform in the middle of the level that just immediately falls, which is odd, since it was used once in the whole level.

The Chase:

Pretty solid castle level!
The first section with the Marine Pop was really fun!
Although, you probably want to put a cap on the amount of bullets, since they can cause lag if you spawn enough of them.
The second section with homing bullet bills was also pretty good.
The boss was also fun to fight, although I didn't get a castle destruction cutscene, which is a bit odd.
Anyway, that was pretty solid, and difficult.
