Description: | Welcome to Mario's 2 Ways 2 Victory (Mario's Two Ways to Victory, or M2W2V for short.) This is a hack I started a long time ago to test out vanilla resources, which eventually turned out to be a full project. The hack has gone through various modifications since I started it, mostly because the first levels I made didn't match my current criteria on level design. I could have dropped this project a long time ago, but I wanted to have a complete hack and I didn't feel like starting a new one. The story is a bit of a sequel to the original SMW. When Mario and Yoshi were leaving Dinosaur Land, their ship was attacked by Bowser and the princess was taken in the process. Now Mario and Yoshi have two ways to reach Bowser's castle: they can go through the regular way beating all the Koopalings one by one, or they can find the hidden stars in a mysterious land called the "Land of Magic" which will take them to Bowser's castle. It's up to you to choose which way they should go. The former is easier but longer, and the latter is shorter but harder. You can also mix both ways. Note: If you are going to play the hack in Zsnes, change the "per2exec=100" to "per2exec=150" in zsnes.cfg to avoid slowdowns. Other emulators should be fine. Credits are in the readme. Have fun. |

This hack kicked my ass. The last handful of levels cements it as Very Hard for me. The difficulty curve is a sine wave. Levels can be very long and unforgiving with no checkpoints and often the hardest levels are autoscrollers. Nearly every level in the last few worlds needs multiple more checkpoints. Elite Guard Ships, Bowser's Old Castle, and Last Defense Line were very long and difficult, an hour and a half combined. The four Security Towers + Guard Ships together also took about an hour. Bowser's Castle (E) thankfully was easier. I played 5 lives on Bowser's Castle (H) after seeing credits before deciding I was gonna call it complete. Pro tip, Outer Space is a great life farm in World 5, it's needed.
The secret exit in
I've played this hack twice a few years apart because I didn't record it or take notes the first time. The second time took about 10 hours to 100%, minus Bowser's Castle (H). Video of playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqvIHerHvauvpmcTnAwU0n0r8t0oB0oi3

RPG Overworld, I think.
Amazing hack. One of the best hacks I've ever played. It is really very hard.
I spent between 2/3 hours to beat too many stages, including the four Bowser's towers.
In addition, this was my top4 stages where I spent the longest times to beat it.
01º: Bowser's Castle (E) = 11 hours
02º: Haunted Sea = 7 hours
03º: Last Defense Line = 7 hours
04º: Magic Base = 5 hours
