Super Mario World - An SMWC Production is one of those fan-made ROM hacks that actually feels like it could've been an official Nintendo release. It's got that classic SMW vibe—colorful, tight controls, and those satisfying little "boing" jumps—but with totally new levels that somehow nail the original's charm.

You start off in a familiar-looking overworld, but the first level throws some clever twists at you right away. The platforming feels just right, with hidden blocks and alternate paths that make you want to poke around every corner. I got stuck for a solid five minutes on this one jump where you have to bounce off a Koopa at just the right angle—frustrating in the best way.

If you've played the original to death, this one's worth booting up just to see how well the fan creators understood what made the SNES version so special. It's like finding a lost expansion pack.
