Hack description

I personally find the voices added to the gba version extremely annoying and overused. This patch removes both Mario and Luigi's voices and a few other sounds which were not present in the SNES version.

absolutely necesssaryJ^P2019-03-22Version 1.0

Im not being contrarian to the other review, but rather explain why this hack is needed. Do I really need to hear same voice line every single time I get power up(YAHOO JUST WHAT I NEEDED!), get hit.. etc? That and combined with gba's bad audio quality makes it obnoxious quickly, making this hack must. Or you know what, just play the snes version instead, it has larger resolution/view, non-ugly palette, better audio quality.. there is little reason to play gba version to begin with.

No

Just

No.

I don't see why this is getting praise, because the voices...

...are not even bothersome. Ever hear of minimal voice acting? This game is proof that it works, but removing them just makes it seem like it would never work.

Now closer to its SNES counterpart!KCEXE2015-10-05Version 0.1

As a person who owns the original SMW remake on the GBA, I wasn't a fan of the voices either. This patch on the other hand, gets rid of them and makes the game feel like its original version. Also, it's quite nice that this is compatible with Asaki's SNES color restoration patch. If you're looking for a better way to play SMW on the go, I'd download this and the color patch to improve the experience.

Suggestion/s:

  1. 1. I happened to notice the Boos & Big Boos still have their voices. This isn't much of a problem, but it's a bit weird. I know that in your SMB3 voice removal the Boos have their clips removed. So maybe those can be removed here as well?

I was so excited when this came out. Super Mario World on the go? I had to have it! Finally, it came out. I got it, aaaand.. Voices. Sounds that weren't there before. Needless to say, I wasn't such a fan of this.. May I call it a "bastardization" of an otherwise-phenomenal game?

This hack completely removes all added sounds/voices and restores the game to all of its original glory, the way it was meant to be played. If you weren't a fan of the added voices in the GBA port of SMW either, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't grab this, at all!
