Super Mario World - Blind Devil's Trip Back in Time is one of those wild ROM hacks that completely flips the original game on its head. You still get the classic SMW feel, but everything's rearranged—enemies in weird places, hidden blocks where you least expect them, and some brutal level designs that'll test even seasoned players.

First thing you'll notice? The difficulty spike. It's not just "harder," it's sneaky. Pipes might dump you into instant death traps, and some jumps feel almost cruel. But that's the charm—it keeps you on your toes in a way vanilla SMW never did. And yeah, the name isn't lying—you'll definitely take a few blind leaps of faith.

If you've played the original to death and want something fresh without losing that Mario magic, this is a solid pick. Just don't throw your controller when you hit the third unfair-looking pit.
