Hello, new to this site - I've looked around for a similar thread relating to this but no luck. Maybe I'm not getting many results since I am just searching from my phone, so sorry if I'm bringing back old topics !
I'm fairly new to the SMW hacks, I came across someone selling reproduction carts locally through kijiji and purchased SMW Return to Dinosaur Land. I was shocked that someone could make a hack that felt so much like the original game and successfully put it onto a cartridge. It is the game that shines most in my collection of 100+ games. I currently have the same guy making a few more games that I never had the chance to play.
Well then I find a folder on the net of 900+ SMW roms, all different hacks, and became more amazed. I started an emulator up and was going to see what each game looked like or how it played briefly to see if it was worth getting a hard copy of. Well a lot of games were changed far too much with graphics or even level layouts for me to enjoy.
I'm looking for SMW hacks that are from super mario world, not super mario bros. 3 or yoshi's island games. I loved how Return to Dinosaur land seemed like a sequel, how the level layouts actually make sense. I'm not huge on games with graphic changes too much - mainly just after MORE super mario world, not different games entirely.
Now these games have to be beatable (and enjoyable) without savestates. Saving after each level was much better than having to complete a ghost house like in the original SMW.
I've been researching for a solid week now on what I would like on hard copy. I understand I could just test games in the roms, but I don't want to test too far, or there's no point in getting a legit copy. So I ask all of your opinions.
I've narrowed it down to:
-super demo world 3
-second reality project reloaded
-return to dinosaur land
-quest on full moon island
Then for a challege I am getting a brutal mario done, the graphics are altered a little too much - but the play-style is also so it makes it for a new game in a sense. Then I stumbled across "Mario in the Yoshi Island Mystery" on flashback entertainment site. It reminds me of mario mixed with bubsy. That's probably the only other "different" super mario game I'd want.
Anyways, looking forward to hearing some opinions ! Thanks guys,
