This is not an appoved hacked game I know,but it should be. http://www.fpi-productions.de/sr2.htm This hack has long,Yoshi's Island like levels both in size and in exploration.It is a hard game.It has 90 levels and 109 exits.If you go only for normal exits, you can finish it in about 55 levels.But I also recomend a 100 percent TAS because this game is very beautiful, very large,and has puzzle elements to find the secret exits.

Hmm, not a bad looking hack from what I saw in the screens and trailers. It seems to hold more context than Super Demo World did. Could it live up to the hype, should there be another Super Mario World based hack TAS? I personally wouldn't mind seeing a TAS of this hack as long as it has redeeming qualities much like Super Demo World had only differently, something new (from what I saw, it is nothing like Super Demo World, it looks like it goes even further).

http://fusoya.panicus.org/lips/ Make sure to back-up your ROM.

Okay, I just noticed this IPS file requires a ROM header how annoying. But I used ipsedit (included with NSRT) to remove the header offsets from the IPS file. Non header version for convenience here - http://nsrt.edgeemu.com/tsrp2.zip Note, copy your Super Mario World US ROM to tsrp2.sfc (or .gz, .zip, .jma) and load in ZSNES, Snes9x, or SNEeSe, and it'll auto patch it if the IPS file is decompressed to the same location as the ROM.

I haven't tried this yet. From the screenshots, the graphics look fresh, but the level design looks bad. What sold me on Super Demo World was the use of new items. Does this game have anything comparable to that, or is it just a (very well done) graphics and level hack?

I'm still trying it out, works on console so far. The only thing different I'm seeing so far is the use of music from Super Mario Bros. 3 from All-Stars.

Okay I just beat world 1. I think the levels seemed to be drug inspired. However so far there's the poison mushrooms from the lost levels, and some stuff brought back from SMB3. I'll post more details after I waste more time not programming playing this game. Edit: I did notice one new type of block, it breaks when you jump on top of it.

I played the first SRP game a year ago, and loved it. This game looks even better. Me (mainly as a guide), mrz and skamastaG (the main taser) are thinking of test running this game, to give everyone a better look at it, to see if it is worthy of TAS publication in the long run. I personally like the hack's sprite library a lot. Sonic sprites in a Mario game = Win. The level design in the old version is questionable in some cases, but we'll see how it goes. We probably won't start the test run till a bit later, unless mrz is hiding someting.

If you like the Sonic levels,wait till you see the Kirby levels!(Apparently,Kirby wants to know what power Mario will give him if he sucks him up.)

JXQ: Found something else new, switches in levels which turns on and off various blocks. Not a P-Switch, a light switch type of device (but it doesn't control a light but blocks).

Hmm, I also noticed a koopa that kicks a shell that you can't bounce to stop. Kind of neat. Anyway I played this a bit, some desert levels, grass levels, and to me, this is just another hack with badly designed levels, being hard just for the sake of being hard - but wrapped up in pretty graphics. Meh, that doesn't do it for me.

Patching the Super Mario World (U) [!] ROM worked for me.

Although you'll need a header on your ROM unless you remove the header offsets from the IPS file (or use my already header offset removed IPS file).

There's also another thread for this elsewhere, and it might provide some information. Yes, I may own the forum, but I don't read everything... I've been too tied up with the OTHER release thread there.

Is the Emulator or Rom supposed to lag this much? Every ten seconds I get a major lag spike, which. A. Causes me to die. B. Causes me to lose a power up by jumping into an enemy. C. Causes me to miss Jumps. D. Annoys me. Tell me this isn't normal, or that I may have patched the wrong ROM, or maybe it's the Emulator.

I'm at Rice Beach right now, and I'm loving it. The levels are nice and simple but still challenging. Anyway, in Rice Beach there is at one point a set of fire blocks. Behind the blocks is a pipe. When I enter the pipe, the screen just goes black. The game is still running and I can hear sound just fine but there is nothing on the screen. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me? I can't find the secret exit because of this.

I don't think this hack was made very well if there are still bugs in it. I myself am done playing since it gives me relentless Lag issues.

I'm at Midnight Canyon now and I encountered a gamestopper: when I enter the door at the end of the level, it leads nowhere and Mario falls to his death when I enter it. Anyone know what's up? EDIT: Ah, I see now. I was using zsne 1.42 which apparently isn't compatible. Works fine on 1.5.
