Hack 3 Released!

So here it is, Hack 3!

Basic Info
Hack 3 is a ROM hack of the 1990 Nintendo game Super Mario World. It plays similarly to a typical Mario platformer, except that every level has a unique obstacle to overcome, which is explained to the player as they start.

As suggested by the title, it is the third entry in the Hack series. If you are interested in checking those out, they can be found here:

One of the screenshots is actually not from Hack 3. Can you guess which one?!

Here's a picture of me when I was 10. Notice how jovial I was as I had just received my first Game Boy.

the 5th screenshot sold me on playing this

I shall try this out as soon as possible and then post my opinion.

This looks pretty nice. I just played some of it and I'm surprised you can still come up with good ideas, great job.
Also, thanks for using my graphics!

Sorry about that. :\

THANK YOU, S.R.H.!

yay

Also, just finished a few more levels, and noticed this: if the platform you've shot touches the top of the lines, it disappears. Not sure why, but it'd be nice if it was fixed.

Pfftt! It's obviously the first screenshot!!! Oh, and the switch palace graphics in the fifth screenshot are incredible. Definitely going in my hack!

Any plans to later on release a sort of compilation of all three Hack hacks?

Perhaps.

Does this promise Gabourey Sidibe

Info doesn't seem to be doing anything... at all... Even Lunar Magic doesn't show anything. Why is that?

It's a nice little hack to play. I had the fun to test it and it was enjoyable. Every level has an unique gimmick and some were rare or even new in the SMW hacking history. Very well done.

What exactly is happening?

As a token of gratitude for your work, here's a hot guy:

Yum, thank you. Just my type.

I have just finished playing this hack and all I can say is that it was a great experience playing. Each level had its own unique gimmick (though I could clearly see some recycling of previous ideas from the other two hacks in the series that you have made; albeit applied differently) and each level had a diverse level design which melted in positively with the gimmicks. The only thing I could question is the placement of a few stars, but I was smart enough to figure out most of the places.

Good work! So... is this the end of the "Hack" line of hacks? Or will there be more?

If I can come up with more original ideas for level gimmicks, then sure.

What to heck is that roleplayer ending, I was expecting to play some gimmicky levels and not re-experience star trek.

I didn't even notice there were green stars in the first two levels I played. Then the next few I thought there's only 1 per level and was glad I "found all of them".
Then I suddenly find 2 in the same level and am confused. Only after that did I notice you can talk to the Lumas in the Info level (and that it actually isn't empty!) and learn that each level has 3.

I played this hack and the story and ending made me cry...



W-Will there be a h-hack 4...?

It's possible. I don't want to force it if I can't come up with more original gimmicks.

Besides, not sure if it would continue the story of Hack 3. I just wanted to

Please do it, the show must go on!

fantastic!
