Luigi and Autosave rock but ruined by constant HUD animationlegend802021-11-27Version Final

I can FINALLY play as Luigi without the glitches other hacks / cheats cause (like palette swapping). Autosave = awesome.

BUT it's all completely ruined by the unbelievably annoying and distracting HUD. I love DKCR and there's a huge difference between that and what this hack adds.

With the hack, it's a slow scroll in and out animation that triggers your attention every time you get ANYTHING in the game. So your eyes are being drawn to the movement every other second. That's why Nintendo didn't do this and chose a static HUD so your attention is not being challenged every 2 secs...

With DKCR, the hearts are static and only bananas/coins cause the additional elements to appear. BUT it's much more subtle and doesn't distract. It kinda pops on and then pops off, as opposed to a slow scroll in/out like the hack.

Please either remove this, update the behavior (reduce/alt. animation or speed up maybe) or put into a separate file like many hacks do to split it up providing the user some options to suit their preference. Then it'll be an instant raving recommendation. :)

Simple, yet perfect!CMDreamer2021-11-21Version 1.2

At first I've got some issues after patching the ROM I had as it was unheadered, but after the great help from @Pethronos (thank you so much!) I've got no problems at all

SNES9x 1.60 reports a "Correct CRC value" on the patched ROM file, so no issues playing it.

The hack is awesome and simple at the same time, it makes me want to play SMW once again.

The modifications made are what Big-N should've done at release time, as it provides a very clean and useful GUI (playing screen), no more distracting elements and a very pleasing experience.

I hope we can add this patch to other mods/hacks as I'd like to play them again with this addon enabled.

Thanks a lot! Totally recommended!

Good changes but...Red Soul2021-11-21Version 1.2

The changes are really nice and this would be a good base for further modifications, but I wish the author had gone an extra mile and gave Luigi his unique sprites from SMAS+SMW to further differentiate the characters.

I'm still recommending it despite this, because the more informative HUD and player separation are nice changes.

I will stick with my GBA SMWpeacefighter2021-11-21Version 1.2

This hack does have an autosave feature and you can choose between Luigi or Mario. I even like the Status bar. I was really hoping the the status bar shows and saves the Yoshi coins you have collected on the level. The GBA version makes it easy to check which Yoshi coins you got and which you are missing. That is the biggest problem with the SNES version-the lack of saving Yoshi Coins. These are great upgrades to the original, but I still feel the GBA is superior.

Simple, but necessary changesYoshiWhite622021-11-14Version 1.0

I have certainly tried this hack only in world 1 and it does what it says. At least for me I will be able to use Luigi without having to play two players or play the gameboy advance version. And the saving is simply great although for many it will be able to facilitate the Game. I recommend this hack to anyone looking to improve the original experience.

This so cool!saulfire2021-11-14Version 1.0

This dude just made the definitive version of super mario world! Always liked the quality of life stuff from the gba games so i play that but i always miss the better sound quality and higher resolution of the snes so this is perfect for me, all that is missing is luigi's flutter jump but i dont know if that is even possible, hope you could make a similar mod for All-stars in the future.
