A Super Mario ROM Hack aggregator/archive thing
A1 Mario World
This hack features 7 platforming focused levels. Additionally, a post-game special world is available containing the same 7 levels, but with a tight timer reflective of my fastest times when testing the levels.
The primary 7 exits are beginner friendly mostly due to their shorter length, but some sections are more precise. The special world is intended to give a speedrun like challenge with a default goal for interested players. These exits are more difficult as the time crunch makes many of the obstacles much more precise.
This hack also features 9 new custom music ports of songs by the saxophone duet Moon Hooch.
- Retry prompt + Infinite Lives
- Timer only status bar
- On/Off double hit fix
Update: An issue in the castle level was causing a door to lead to the wrong level sporadically, but consistently. I believe it was an instance of this smw central discussion on Doors and Sub-screen boundaries. I used 7 up’s solution in the thread and the issue should be resolved.
