Super Mario World: The Definitive Edition is a ROM-Hack of the original Super Mario World game on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). It was made originally as a remaster of the Super Mario World Plus hack which was released in May of 2024. Definitive Edition started progress in early 2025 around February.

The hack is meant to add bugfixes from the original game, add all new content (from things such as SMAS+SMW, Super Mario Advance 2, the Super Mario Maker series, the VLDC ROM-Hacks by SMWCentral, and prototypes themself of SMW) such as course themes, music, sprites, level structures, features, and others. There are also a couple extra new things that were added which were never originally in any adaption of SMW. More info can be found in the changelog.txt

The hack is inspired by many things such as SMAS+SMW, SMA2, SMM series, VLDC hacks, SMW protos, SMW Remastered, SMW 30th Anniversary Edition, SMW Just Keef Edition, SMW Redone, IsoFrieze/Dotsarecool romhacks, the New Super Mario Bros. series + SMB Wonder, and MaternalBound 2 Redux.

Note: for an in depth look at all the features and alterations you can check out the included changelog.txt file for reference. At the source link someone made a highly praising review of this hack that gives it more justice than I could. If you're curious, I'd suggesting checking it out.
