This page is a (probably not up-to-date) showcase of Super Mario World hacks I've made or contributed to.

HYPERION
This was my first ever venture into SMW hacking. It is a chocolate Kaizo hack with "vanilla+" aesthetics, and aims to be a fun experience for novice kaizo players and not be too difficult. Originally released in 2020, I made an update in 2022 to polish it up and fix my newbie hacker errors.

Shallow Pits
This is a single-screen challenge hack I made over the course of a few weeks which takes a lot of inspiration from Kaizo:Hard and Pit hacks, hence the name, and uses a glitch tech, really tight (and rude) setups and some item abuse.

Shallow Pits 2
I made a sequel for some reason. The sprinkling of glitch or kuso tech rooms was really the most interesting part of the first one so I leaned into it for the second. Lots of inspiration from MST and abc_ore, among others.

Brutalism or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Cement

Ebb and Flow
Old-School Level Design ContestA level I made in an afternoon. I wanted to make using the Switch Palace tileset since it's very limiting and as I assumed (rightly) it would be overlooked in the contest it's so barebones.

Tempest Memories
Romhack RacesThe title (and a concept later in the level) is a nod to the standard hack Memorial Service Tempest from MST in the Japanese community.

A Paw in my Face
Romhack RacesA harder kaizo that focused on trick execution over gimmicks or chocolate. Made as an homage to Casio Mario World and other levels by Wyatt.

HORSE
Romhack RacesA kaizo level with a silly tone using some cheeky asm I had made for non-kaizo purposes (being vague here as to not spoil the gimmick).

Save It For Later
Kaizo Level Design ContestThe gimmick in this kaizo level involves using L/R to steal Mario's power to the item box for use later.

Racing Like It's 2013
Romhack RacesAn old-school style level that tried to emulate the style of kaizo you'd find in the early 2010s, as an antidote to the modern style of many race levels

The Illusion of Choice
Romhack RacesHere I used the BLDC2 baserom to build out the idea of having a surprise sprite in a Pot that will help you complete obstacles.

Starstruck
Chocolate Level Design ContestWhen Mario has P-Speed he is invincible but we have some custom blocks that can be broken and the level is designed around keeping P-Speed.

Learn To Let Go
Romhack RacesThe gimmick of this one is Mario has autorun enabled which means if you hold run Mario now slows down—the functionality of the X and Y buttons are inverted.

Transmission Chain Experiment
This was a spontaneous collab I organized during Winter C3 2022. Each contributor made a single screen in each of the levels and the results were pretty wild.

Shibui World
A Kaizo hack I am not actively working on this project so who knows if it'll ever be released. It was planned to be more difficult and ambitious than my other ventures with old-school and standard very-hard influences.
