So this is a nice hack to add a fresh coat of paint to the Mario world game formula, the game for the most part is unchanged aside from some added levels here and there.

It is rough though to say the least, Super Mario water graphics are very glaring as his rear end is missing and its very grating to see, some bleeding of colors takes place too and some back ground graphics aren’t loading in correctly showing off that it’s needing a revamp to fix.

Would I recommend it… yeah for the new content and nice additions but that’s where I cut the line, there are better hacks out there that don’t have slowdown issues or missing or broken graphics. I went to wall jump in spots only to find the wall is broken and I jumped through the wall to my death in spots.

If the issues get fixed I would say go for it but for now, there are better hacks out there that do the same and more.

Update: So the slowdown was addressed and makes the gameplay feel better and more smoothed out, but sadly the author said v1.3 was the end of updates and that means that the other glaring issues will just be there and said tough luck, so with that in mind then no hard pass on this game if the creator cant be bothered to fix graphic issues then why bother playing the game, really wish they would fix the color bleeding of sprites and fix the broken sprites before just throwing in the towel.

Update 2: Seeing as there were 5 revisions to the game since I wrote my prior update of what was wrong with the game… I had decided to give it another go seeing as the hacker had mentioned they fixed some of my prior issues… And after giving it a final go, this is now a much more polished hack granted there are some issues here and there but I’m happier now knowing the programmer of the hack clearly has listened to complaints or seen the issues and corrected them, I commend them for taking the time to look at the game and file down some of the more glaring issues, so I will change my recommend from no to a yes as the person really did try and I’m glad they decided not to say to hell with it like so many others have done so in the past, maybe as a request if you do make future hacks to maybe beta test them with some friends in the gaming community on discord or something. hint hint! :) It would be a way to catch some bugs earlier on and to get it that more polished feel the first time around instead of several revisions and harsh reviews of the game that you had taken time to make.
