Kid Adventure 3 is one of those SMW romhacks that feels like a proper sequel—new levels, tweaked physics, and some wild power-ups you won’t find in the original. The first thing you’ll notice is how polished it is—no janky controls or weird hitboxes, just smooth platforming with that classic Mario World feel.

It starts off easy enough, with familiar greens and browns, but before long you’re bouncing off weird mushroom platforms or dodging enemies that definitely weren’t in the vanilla game. Some of the later levels get brutal, but in a good way—like the kind of challenge that makes you mutter "one more try" at 2 AM.

If you’ve burned through the original and want something fresh without straying too far from what made SMW great, this hack’s a solid pick. Just don’t blame me when you get stuck on that one spike trap section.
