Super Mario World

I just have to say, as great as this game is, there's a version of Super Mario All-Stars available on the site that includes this game with various improvements in addition to updated versions of the original three Super Mario Bros. for the NES.

A Valient Effort From The Fans
For the uninitiated, Kaizo Mario 64 (KM64) is an extensive ROM hack of the classic Super Mario 64 (SM64). It gets inspiration and its name from Kaizo Mario World (KMW), a similar ROM hack of Super Mario World. What I mean to say is that, just like KMW, it's very hard. Not Castlevania hard, or Contra hard; more like slab-of-concrete-at-the-end-of-a-10-story-drop hard. If that sounds appealing to you, keep on reading. If that does not sound appealing to you, you may as well move on. It was designed with the intention of being played on an emulator and expects you to abuse save-states, so don't feel like you're cheating by using them.
Graphics - I would give the original SM64 an 7 in this department, but since this hack has a tendency towards placing existing assets from the original game somewhat . . . sloppily, I feel inclined to dock it one point. SM64 is an okay looking game, especially when you consider that it was a launch title for the N64, but this game wasn't a professional endeavor, and it shows, slightly. Keep in mind, "graphics" only refers to the technical side of things; thoughtful art design helps the game rise above its low polygon count and somewhat blurry textures. It still looks pretty, all things considered, if that's what you're curious about.
Sound - The actual sounds themselves are completely unchanged from the original SM64, but it is worth mentioning that the placement of certain tracks has been altered. All in all though, I would give the original game a 9 in this department, and that holds true here. Even if you don't play this game or the original, check out some of these tracks on YouTube or something. I'm sure you've heard most of them before, though, even if you don't recognize them.
Addictiveness - This is a game that's all about being presented with a task that looks impossible and, eventually, through enough trial and error (and save-stating), pulling it off by the skin of your teeth. That's how I view it, an... Read the rest of this Review
