Super Mario World Hack Review - Rise To The Challenge
RATE THE REVIEW, NOT THE HACK!
Yep, another review, I only made two minor edits on the video, not altering the gameplay at all, just for fun.
And I find myself very surprised at how my skills are getting better with this kind of hacks, it's good to have stuff to train with, I guess.
Hope you like it!

It must be said, effort WAS put on this hack, but, it wasn't applied correctly, not that much.
The ambience produced on this game at the beginning inspires the feeling that you will have a lot of fun clearing all the levels, but I will state, that if you will have fun, it will be trying not to die on the first (yes, the first) level.
The main problem on this hack is the fact of that the levels are intensely long, it should take you near 4-8 minutes to get past a regular level, and if you are aware of what you are reading, you should know that 8 minutes is something, well, insane, at least on Super Mario World.
Also, there are places saturated with enemies, where you simultaneously need to make a hard gap or something like that; not to mention some hardcorely-hard to avoid enemies (jumping Koopas in VERY small tunnels) that really put you on a tricky situation. Also, there are a very few power ups (mushrooms, etc.) on each level compared to it's length, making the possibilities to die way higher.
Fortunately, the white minibars are fit correctly on their places.
But, this game has a great combination of customized GFX, the level design is great (restrictions may apply), even if the enemies don't allow you to notice it, if you focus, you can clearly see that reducing their amount would make this hack great.
The color sets where correctly put in place, some ingenious enemies locations are fun to avoid, and every, every, EVERY scenery puts you on a new ambience, and even though some of the changes are radical they are comfortable, combined with the level design and color sets, this produces an excellent appearance to the hack.
Still, the enemies and the length of the levels lowers this hack's score.
There are situations on the ones you find yourself REALLY frustrated, in example:
"Near 5 Super Koopas are flying against you and you are small Mario, you are on a hard to clear part and a Goomba is about to smash your head, oh, and don't forget that Koopa that is to your left right now, don't jump, just, die."
But if you are an expert player, you will enjoy this hack, it isn't excessively hard, in fact, it's the perfect challenge for a player trying to sharpen his skills.
And yes, this is worth you time, just be sure to be good enough as to clear it, really, it's worth it.
So I'm leaving my review as you just saw it, this is a very good hack, but regular gamers will have problems with it, for the rest, great, just be sure to try it out.
And have a great day.
