Super Mario World - The New World 2 is one of those fan-made hacks that actually feels like a proper sequel. It takes the classic SMW engine and throws in new levels, tougher enemies, and some wild power-ups you won’t see in the original. The first few stages ease you in with familiar Koopa stomping, but then it starts throwing curveballs—like secret exits that lead to completely different paths.

I remember hitting a level with these weird spinning platforms that took me way too many tries to figure out. And the music? Some tracks are remixed just enough to feel fresh without losing that nostalgic SNES charm. If you’ve played the original to death, this one’s got enough surprises to make it worth another run.
