Play The 9th Annual Vanilla Level Design Contest: Collaboration Hack by SMW Central Online

Summary

The 9th Annual Vanilla Level Design Contest: Collaboration Hack, released in 2016, is a true showcase of community creativity. It bundles 108 contestant‑crafted stages together with a handful of staff, judge, and post‑game levels, totaling 117 distinct maps and 152 hidden exits. While every level stays true to the vanilla Super Mario World feel, the hack sprinkles in a variety of ASM tricks—score counters that can be reset at will and an overworld packed with its own assembly‑language fireworks—so the experience feels fresh even for seasoned players. Because of these additions the project swells beyond the limits of a standard 4 MB SMW ROM, making it the largest Super Mario World hack ever assembled, with more than 96 extra levels that simply wouldn’t fit otherwise.
