Acknowledged as one of the best Mario games of all time, Super Mario World is a must see for fans of classic games. This run by Fabian completes the game fully (all 96 exits) and makes use of almost every known glitch to make it as fast and exciting as possible.

If you like this video, be sure to also see Super Demo World 100% completion (120 exits) in 2:02:04 by PangaeaPanga.

This movie has a partial Atlas Map encode of the first level, which shows the standard encode overlaid on a zoomed out map.

Super Mario World is a game which needs no introduction.

This movie beats the previous SMW movie by a mere 3 seconds. Strategically, this is very similar to the previous movie, but a new technique which involves keeping flight status through doors and pipes saved the majority of the time. This game is now extremely tightly optimized to minimize lag between levels.

This movie is a joint venture between Fabian and JXQ, but small and big optimizations were contributed by several people: skamastaG, thegreginator, mrz, jimsfriend, Flagitious and Arne_the_great.

Arguably one of the most well known and well developed SNES hacks in existence, Super Demo World puts Mario into a new realm that spans well beyond his original adventure.

Features of Super Demo World include:

This run, which completes all 120 of the game's exits, is nearly 4 and a half minutes faster than the previous version.

The homepage for Super Demo World, including the patch to be used on a Super Mario World ROM, and the program used to make the hack, is available online.

Mario's doctor heard about the "Magic Mushrooms" which make Mario grow to twice his normal size and let him break bricks. Fearing for Mario's health, he orders Mario to avoid those nasty powerups.

This run aims to complete as many exits as possible without collecting any permanent powerups, including Mushrooms, Fire flowers, Feathers, Switch Palace blocks. Unable to fly, Mario is forced to confront most obstacles and overcome them in unique ways. Riding Yoshi is also banned. 86 out of the total 96 exits are completed.

This hack of Super Mario World contains a Star World which contains themed levels that connect to various locations on the map. Like the original Super Mario World, these levels can be used as a makeshift warp zone. This movie demonstrates this path - navigating the Star World to charge straight to Bowser, leaving much of the game untouched.

This movie is a whopping 24 second improvement to the previous movie. Full list of changes can be read in the authors' comments.
