SMW: Gaiden is one of my favorite standard hacks of all time, and I’m sad it’s over. It’s so much fun, it’s so creative, it’s hard as heck, and super rewarding. That’s the only way I can describe this hack. Some of the bosses though were very tough. This is another reason this hack kept me interested and why this hack will likely have an extremely high replay value for me. There's no shortage of diversity here each level feels like a brand new adventure and boredom is very unlikely. Level design is varied to an nth degree that no level ever felt like a repeat. Some secret exits are also extremely cryptic and tough to find, and they require a great deal of exploration and patience. No jump is completely safe in this hack, as you might just get attacked by enemies as you're landing on the next platform. As a commentor said below me, it seems every enemy in this game is placed in just the right spot to kill Mario, and rightfully so, as it does feel like Mario is always in danger in this hack. This hack will test your patience and your precision skills. Gaiden has some of the hardest levels imaginable (just watch that title-screen movie for a taste of what you're about to experience), but for some reason, they're so much fun to play. The Lost Levels from SMAS? Yup, Gaiden has it. Deceptive mechanics and trickery that reminds you of Super Mario Bros. Imagine a Super Mario World: The Lost Levels (Done Right) kind of hack. If you could imagine a game that gets as hard as it can possibly get without becoming a Kaizo game, that's Gaiden right there. My favorite hack of all time in the past isn't even that interesting anymore, so Gaiden took its place instead. SMW: Gaiden is by far my favorite Super Mario World hack of all time.
