OK, let's get down to business:
Main : "Super Mario Bros. Deluxe" is a great Super Mario World ROM hack, and it is clear that the creator has put some effort into it, although the 1st level gives away the idea of the game. It lacks in some places, but that we will discuss later on. Overall, I give this game 8.5/10. I would recommend this game to people who are looking to just kill time, and not do anything serious for a while.
Game-play: The game-play is interesting for the first few levels, but it gets boring after some time, when the player realizes that He/She/It has to play the original game's levels all over, but with SMW Mario physics. Some aspects of the levels were somewhat disappointing, like the fact that each Bowser at the end of the castles are just SMW fire-breathing statues. I have some experience in Lunar Magic myself, and with some more efforts, the creator could have a custom-boss or a proper, living Bowser. Flagpoles are, well, I don't even know what they were. It was a great flashback to the old times, though, I'll give you that.
Graphics: SMB-3 styled graphics look beautiful on levels, but I can't say the same with the Overworld. It looks just too plain. Level tiles won't disappear, and just leaving them golden once completed just doesn't fit. On a positive note, the graphics in the levels were swell, with decorations and backgrounds in their proper places.
Music: I don't have to say much about this. Listening to the same OW music again and again get's boring as heck. Level music seems in order, with proper music and sound effects in their right places.?
The game seems to have a lot of potential, and if the gaps are filled up properly, this could be a perfect SMB remake. ?A good game, though it doesn't have that "oomph" if you know what I mean.
