High-Quality Mario World hacks (non-Kaizo)?

[Tonberry]

I’ve never looked into SMW hacks very much, because I’ve been deterred by Kaizo stuff (which I love watching, not as much playing) and not being a huge Mario World fan in general.

But on SGDQ 2025 they played a hack called ”A Plumber For All Seasons” which really piqued my interest because it seemed to have REALLY solid production value, and didn’t look impossible.
I haven’t played it yet, but I really want to.

Are there more hacks similar to that? Did I get spoiled rotten instantly for latching on to such a well-presented hack? Who knows, but I’d love to hear your recommendations!

There are so many hacks like that nowadays, it's not even funny.

I could compile a small 7z of them and send it to you if you like.

I can't possibly remember them all with my short-term memory, but I have a butt-ton of them on my phone.

Brutal Mario and Reverie are notable.

I remember, years-and-years ago, there was one called "Dr. Mario World" that was actually pretty neat.

The second reality project reloaded, not kaizo, but not newb friendly

I'm not super familiar with the SMW hacking scene, but I can recommend 100 Rooms of Enemies. As the name suggests it's essentially 100... I guess you'd call it combat puzzles. Quite good and to the point!

(Just grabbed the first video I found without checking, hope this doesn't turn out to be something horrible)

Last standard thing I played (~3 months ago or something) was Mob Mario cus the jp smw community had just released a hack clearly resembling that one (Essex, which is also good lol)... isn't newcomer-friendly, but if you want to play that in 2025 you'll have to use inaccuracy compatibility modes on snes9x and the like.
