Jazz411's Super Mario World is one of those SNES romhacks that actually feels like a proper extension of the original game. The level design's tight—no cheap deaths, just clever platforming that makes you rethink how you use Yoshi or the cape. First time I booted it up, I got hit by a surprise P-balloon section that had me grinning like an idiot.

Some of the new power-ups are wild (wait till you see what the fire flower does here), and the music swaps keep things fresh without feeling out of place. Took me a few tries to nail the timing on those revamped spin jumps, but when it clicks? Pure Mario magic.

If you've rinsed the original SMW and want something that respects the classics while throwing in just enough curveballs, this is the hack to grab.
