A Super Mario ROM Hack aggregator/archive thing
Nonsense
Game updated to version 1.1. Please see the included changelog for a complete list of changes. SRAM from previous versions of the game should be compatible with this update.
The year is 2023. The SMW timeline has diverged, chaos begins to unfold. In the Kaizo wastelands, the masters sit in their tower, studying every surface of the reposeful shell - always hoping to extract its precious secrets. Further west lies the traditionalists - in the pursuit of the perfect romhack, they meticulously sculpt their polished levels, fusing narrative and intricate gameplay. Yet, away from this all, outside the edge of time itself, a lone hacker boots up Lunar Magic for the first time. “I think I will add a pitching chuck. Yes, that would be funny”. The lone hacker smiles and brings the enemy to life on their screen. The experts scoff: “That isn’t level design! You fool!”. Still, the lone hacker smiles. “Perhaps I will add another”.
After all, SMW hacking is just a bunch of nonsense anyway.
Welcome to Nonsense! A variety collab in every sense of the word, this hack features contributions from numerous level authors across the SMW community.
You’ll encounter many wild gimmicks and strange ideas throughout this hack. However, at its heart, Nonsense is about classic standard platforming. You’ll find very little in the way of puzzles or Kaizo here, but your platforming skills will truly be put to the test.
A warning for new travelers: this game is not ideal for beginners. Many parts of Nonsense are incredibly challenging, and we strongly recommend getting some easier hacks under your belt before attempting this if you’re new to SMW.
For additional information, such as console compatibility and soundtrack details, please refer to the FAQ. We sincerely hope you enjoy this big silly game.
