Help Me Part 1
Hello. Now, despite what you may think, this is not fake. This is only a Super Mario World hack. A pretty creepy, and interesting Super Mario World hack. Now, how I found this was on YouTube, when I saw two different gamers checking out this hack to see what it had to offer. I then wanted to try it out, too. I downloaded the file, and looked it the .zip folder, and there were three files. There was a JPG file named “1”, there a Text Document named “read”, and the ROM, named “Super Mario World.smc”.

I was a little pleased about that, since it wasn't a .ips file, considering I didn't have an IPS patcher at the time, and that means I could just drag it simply to ZSNES. I was a little weirded out at what I had saw when I loaded up the ROM.

The “Nintendo Presents” message was the same, however the title screen was “Super Mario World” but the entire word “super” was gone. In fact, everything was gone, except the two O's in “Super Mario World”. The wooden frame was gone, too. Also, I looked at Mario. His palette was almost all black, save for a few white, yellow, and brown colours.

I started the game up, and all the intro message that describes the plot of the game/hack was was simply “Death wish,” with Mario's black palette still there. I was weirded out even more, but I pressed Start, and I was certainly confused at the world map.

The world map was almost totally black, save for the yellow flashing level markers, and the smoke coming from Yoshi's House which was black as well. The music that happens when Bowser's Valley is revealed played.

I went to Yoshi's House first. And the whole level was only Mario trapped in concrete blocks, beside a flame that couldn't kill him, and above him were the four birds usually perched on top of the house, but since the house wasn't there, it looked quite odd. And there was a message box that I couldn't get. And the last oddity was that there were floating objects that looked sort of like Peach's face, and if Mario collected them, he would be able to signify the dignity of a balloon. The whole level had water physics, and the background was a different palette than usual.

I spent the whole level floating, and swimming, unable to do anything, until the time ended. Yes, the level had a time limit, too. Mario died, and the “TIME UP!” message was displayed like normal.
