Super Mario World Hacks 101 was a project I was thrilled to do, no matter how silly the original spark was. The project, though, sparked ambition for more.
This project, Super Mario World Hacks 201 (link to forum,) is going to be one I, alone cannot do. I intend to have this be a team project in which people can sign up to help. It may be a while before I get it in gear, though, since I won't get to learn much new stuff until summer.
Early alpha stages, currently.
I want to make 201 an educational hack about how to use more advanced things (not necessarily TOO MUCH more advanced, but it can get up to as advanced as the project goes) such as samples for songs, fancy ASM, ExGFX, and other gimmicks.
I am pretty sure I can help do a level or two, I can write lessons for messageboxes/signs/NPCs, and I can do ExGFX and palettes.
This project is scheduled to gear up in June, but until then, I plan on doing some framework, and some team building, which I'll figure out how to set up somehow.
So far known people:
Me
Atma (Chief Tunes Maker)
Chdata (ASM)
Ixtab (ASM)
Midna
K3fka
Huflungdu
Imamelia
Lynnes (Shiny Overworld Artiste)
reghrhre (Cool Stuff Maker)
Magmar

Tornado
May be part:
ChaoticFox (Best of intentions)
Neutron (Need to see some works)
Boredman (Need to see some works)
Merident (Need to see some works)

To clarify: I may not use everyone's skills as far as ASM, or whatever if too many people want to help, but keep in mind that lesson suggestions may still be a good way to help!Super Mario World Hacks 101

When making a new level, start by pressing CTRL and DEL. That way the original level is completely cleared.

Be careful not to put too many sprites on a screen. This can either cause lag, or not spawn all sprites.

Keep in mind that a decision to make is whether the game will be a Mario game, or just a game on the Mario engine. Too much ASM can lose that identity.
