There's the link to the ROM. It's not a real SMW ROM, so I'm not sure if it's completely illegal. But if you think it's a bad idea anyway, mods, feel free to delete the link and I'll post a patch for the original SMW ROM and/or PM people the link above.

You'll need a SNES emulator to use it. If you don't have one already, google ZSNES and download it. The overworld is severely glitched, but playable. Larry's Castle is destroyed when you beat Mount Lineland, but you can still proceed along the path. When you get to Larry's Castle, press whatever keys you assigned to the R and L buttons at the same time. You can't get to Donut Land, but from there it's exactly the same as it was in SMW anyway.

There's the IPS patch. You need a clean SMW ROM, though. If you can't find one, PM me and I'll upload it for you.

A 5-minute hack I made for this contest. All I did was edit Yoshi's Island 1.

It IS illegal.

You need to make an IPS patch out of it to be sure.

Flavio just cleared Larry's castle. It's pretty good so far, keep up the good work YOU STUTTERING PEACOCK!

Alright, here goes....


First of all, your hack needs more ? Blocks. Thought I think you don't want to give out the overpowered Fire Flower yet, there's a simple way to make ? Blocks containing only Mushrooms.


I must say that the esthetic is quite good. It's pretty to have ledges arranged like that. Have in mind, thought, that it feels weird to not be able to not pass through ledges containing stuff inside.


I don't know what about you, but I'm not entirely fond of structures made of Grey Cement Blocks where they aren't necessary. If I had to give an advice, it would be to made grey cement blocks square graphically.


I see that you used both a overworld BG and a underground FG. That's great. Thought, the start and ending of that cave part Mario is in need to be marked by Ledge tiles to be more esthetic.


Way to make non-linear levels! To make it more interesting, I'd suggest you to put a reward at the end of the harder part, and make the reward not reachable via the easier one.


You need to enable sprite Bouyancy (or whatever it's spelled) here. That Koopa is sinking like a stone.


Get that little Sparky to latch on the block.


I see that you have great ideas.


Make traps more visible. This spike is a little annoying since you don't know it's here. Put coins where you should be to avoid the spike, for exemple.


I'm not really fond of 3-ups Moon where they are both obvious and easy to access. You should place it in a less obvious or easy to reach place...


Like where Mario stands on the second screenshot above, for example.


Yellow Shells are soooooo easy to Spin Jump on. This isn't really a trap at this point.

And that concludes my screencap'd advice review thingy.

Here's a tip Rasto: Map 16 edits.
I can teach you if you want.

If only is where more basic, and there was a way to delete every level and overworld map...
