Super Mario Dream World V0.2 is one of those fan-made SNES romhacks that feels like stumbling into a weird, alternate-universe Mario. The physics are just slightly off—not bad, just different—and the levels have this dreamy, almost surreal vibe. You'll recognize the usual power-ups and enemies, but they're remixed in ways that keep you guessing.

First thing you'll notice? The jumps feel floatier, like Mario's got less gravity pulling him down. Took me a minute to adjust, but once you do, it's kinda fun bouncing around these trippy, pastel-colored stages. Some of the platforming gets brutal though—expect a few cheap deaths from hidden pits or enemies popping out of nowhere.

Not the most polished hack out there, but if you're tired of the same old Mario and want something that plays with the formula, it's a neat little curiosity. Just don't go in expecting Nintendo-level polish.
