Hack description

The 9th Annual Vanilla Level Design Contest Collab Hack of 2016 features 108 contest submissions, along with various staff, judge, and post-game levels. There are a total of 152 exits spread across 117 levels.

While the levels themselves remain vanilla, we included various other ASM features such as score displays with reset functions, as the point of this collab is showing off the individual levels, and not to be restricted by the switch palaces one has already pressed.

The over-world also features ASM shenanigans en masse, creating an experience you are sure to have never had before in a Super Mario World ROM hack.

Taking all of these aspects into consideration, this is now the largest SMW hack ever made (more than 96 levels that would not fit into a regular 4MB ROM!).

One of the best Super Mario World hacks out there	Spud	2020-10-30	Version 1.11
This was the first Vanilla Level Design Contest hack that I've played and it was a blast! There are so many quality levels to play that it provided hours of entertainment and I like the decision to have infinite lives and the fact that you can check out any level you want in any order. Of course since all levels were part of a contest, the lower scoring levels weren't as polished or fun to play but rest assured, I was always excited to beat a level and see what kind of ideas the next level contained and some levels in this hack were the best I've seen in a Mario game. The overworlds and music were fantastic in this hack and it was also fairly challenging too and the levels that are really difficult you have the option to skip if you're going for 100% completion. Overall I was really impressed with this hack and it is an easy recommendation to any dedicated Mario fan.
