A Super Mario ROM Hack aggregator/archive thing
Salty Sagan World
Salty Sagan World is a moderately challenging Kaizo hack dedicated to the streamer, speedrunner and scientist CarlSagan42. It features a wide variety of levels mainly focusing on fast paced platforming with the occasional item tricks thrown in. Most levels also feature custom music to give them more character, apart from that though the hack uses almost exclusively vanilla SMW assets for that authentic SMW kaizo experience.

This is a ROM hack dedicated to the streamer, speedrunner and scientist CarlSagan42.
My goal was to create a kaizo hack that is beatable by less experienced players
(not beginners) but also challenging for more experienced players, however, most
importantly, I made it to be fun and I, despite what you might think, genuinely hope
that you enjoy your time with this hack :)
Big thanks to com_poser for making the awesome covers used in the credits, as well as
Westslasher2 and Chaoscomposer for playtesting the hack, if you find something
jank or unfair blame them not me :P
Good luck!

Important note for 1.1 users.txt
Becasue I did some changes to the overworld in 1.1 you might encounter a situation where you
get stuck in the overworld if you keep your old save file but switch versions.
You might be fine but I recommend starting a new save file unless you're very far into the game.
Enjoy this slightly easier and more enjoyable version of Salty Sagan World!
