Hack description

Ever wanted to play a Super Mario game where you could both fight AND rescue Princess Bowser/Bowsette? If your answer is yes, then this might be EXACTLY what you've been looking for.

Super Mario World: Bowsette Edition is a ROM Hack that swaps the graphics of Bowser and Princess Peach with Bowsette; a female lookalike of Princess Peach with draconic features that's actually Bowser wearing the Super Crown from NSMBUDX. In order for the hack to be more than just some graphic swaps, "freebies" of sorts have been added:

-Unique graphics for Luigi (taken from Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World).
-Some misc. enemies & places use graphics from Super Mario Maker.
-A "mostly" animated overworld.
-An unique palette for Bowser's Valley.
-Slighly altered level design.
-Harder boss fights for the Koopalings and Bowser, plus a new boss(!) added in the level "Sunken Ghost Ship".
-Modified text depending on the version.

The hack comes with 2 different versions, each one with a different plot:

-In Bowsette Edition A, the events of the original game are repeated, only with Bowser having-a-monster-girl-like body instead of his regular turtle-dragon-monster self.

-In Bowsette Edition B, Princess Peach has succumbed to madness and has captured Bowsette AND taken over Bowser's Koopa Troop during his/her visit to Dinosaur Land.

Update 1.1:

-The enemies displayed on the credits now look like they do in-game.
-Exclusive to Edition B, koopas and Mechakoopas have been replaced with Masked Toad Koopas and Mecha-Toads.

Update 1.2:

-Yoshi can no longer enter the Sunken Ghost Ship in order to avoid unintended behavior when interacting with the boss.
-Decoration from Super Mario Maker was added to underground, water and castle levels.
-Added proper credits in the readme.

Practical ReviewGothAngelOtaku2018-10-02Version 1.1

The presentation of the new sprites was excellent, including the animations and experiences no glitches, which is a plus for me. For not playing super Mario world for years, this was refreshing. What really shines for me was the second edition or "B" as its label. I love the spin since the meme about princess peach and bowsette gave me a great laugh and enjoy the whole experience.

I did have a suggestion for the B edition would possibly replace the Koopa kids with toads, which would not only be great but kinda make senses since princess peach is their ruler. I wanted to also add this suggestion from someone commenting on my twitter post; they suggest replaces the big boo with booette. All in all, I highly recommend anyone to play this romhack if you're a fan with bowsette. 9/10
