Did you enjoy all those differences that can be noticed in the Super Mario World beta screenshots? What if Nintendo had stuck with some of their original material while creating the Super Mario World we know and love today? Well, this SMW hack will let you play the game how it may have been in its beta version!
Yoshi Master (AKA Randy from the U64 Staff) has finally released his beta remake of Super Mario World. This hack is based and inspired by all of the pre-release screenshots, unused materials, ancient interviews, and some minor assumptions revolving around SMW, and it’s creation.



You can check more screens from the real beta in the Super Mario World Beta page.
Most of the GFX were made by Randy, as well as the levels themselves. The bosses also each have something “beta” about them. You can find the full credits in the file below.

3) Select the Super Mario World Beta IPS file

@ turntablist: Well, first off is it a,”Super Mario World (U).smc” ROM?
If so, I do not know the problem. It seems to work for everybody else…
There is one way to be absolutely SURE the Super Mario World ROM they have is a clean one.
[url=http://www.smwcentral.net/download.php?id=10&type=tools]SMW Clean ROM Verifier[/url]
Put this in the same folder as your ROM and type in it’s exact file name.
@ Pipe: There are no secret exits/worlds. At least not in this version! Maybe in a future release.
There are a few unused levels in the ROM. They can be accessed via Lunar Magic.

Surely there would have been some sort of final boss had Nintendo completed SMW this way. Though I do like how in this remake you choose which areas to go to first and with no final boss it simulates the incompleteness of beta really well. Overall congratulations on the SMW beta remake. It’s definitely really good :).

It’s very intriguing to look at. I like the fact that Lugi actually has his own indiviual character sprite instead of just being Mario’s with a different color pallete.
