Okay, so Super Mario World - The Second Reality Project 1.5 is basically a fan-made romhack that takes the original SNES classic and cranks up the difficulty—like, way up. At first glance, it looks familiar with the same sprites and music, but then you jump into the first level and realize everything’s been remixed. New enemy placements, trickier platforming, and some brutal hidden traps that’ll make you reset a few times.

It’s not just harder for the sake of it, though. The level design is actually clever, with some wild twists on the original mechanics. You’ll find Yoshi early, but good luck keeping him alive when the game throws Hammer Bros in places they’ve got no business being. And those secret exits? Forget about stumbling onto them—you’ll need pixel-perfect jumps and a sharp eye.

If you’ve played the original to death and want something that actually makes you sweat, this is the version for you. Just don’t throw your controller.
