Yoshi's Strange Quest, because of it's well varied level design, different gameplay mechanics and great humor. I've had so much fun playing it.
GOD NO.
This hack is very unfair, especially when playing it save stateless near the second half of the game. Sure, it's "great humour" (if you call toilet humour and fat fetishes "funny") is there, but that can't be the main selling point. The levels are varied, but many of the issues rely in how precise you have to be in order to pass through all the tough challenges. The different gameplay mechanics just encourages Yoshifanatic to abuse it, and sometimes you aren't aware of all the tiny physics that you're suppose to use. Sure you can try to say that Mega Man X introduced challenges that you're suppose to figure out, but at least those tricks are introduced in safe environments.
Also SCREW those long ass levels. SCREW THEM. Just WATCHING people play this would make others cry in agony. Playing it is just signing a contract to

I'll go into full detail when the thread is up...

I guess I'll add my own nomination. Most likely it won't happen, but here it goes.
Super Mario World: The After Years (Ultra) by Evilguy019
A solid hack with a nice story with well-developed characters (though the grammar isn't perfect), and a very varied selection of levels and world themes, from places on a satellite to an amusement park (just to name a few). Definitely one to look at.

Also I second Banzai Mario World. It's one that can truly test the player, and is also surprisingly fair for a save-stateless Kaizo hack.
