Super Mario World: Brutal Mario – Legendary SMW Hack, Countless Custom Bosses by Carol | Custom SNES Cartridge PAL

Super Mario World: Brutal Mario – Custom SNES Cartridge PAL

One day, Mario was hungry. Since there were a lot of delicious dragons around, he went out to eat some. From that wonderfully absurd premise comes one of the most legendary and influential Super Mario World ROM hacks ever created. Brutal Mario, also known as Super Kitiku Mario, was created by a mysterious Japanese ROM-hacker who goes by the name of Carol, and development began in an era when the kind of technical wizardry on display here was barely a dream in the SMW hacking scene.

The hack is famous for its enormous number of custom bosses and ASM gimmicks, packed with references to other games — Final Fantasy, Twinbee, Kirby, Mega Man, even Cho Aniki. Nearly every level contains multiple enemies and even bosses, often more than one per stage — a level of ambition that was unheard of in 2008 and remains impressive today. It is widely regarded as a technical marvel of its time that inspired countless newcomers to join SMW hacking and create some of the most memorable hacks of the following decade. Etsy + 2
