Something that hasn't held up however, is the below avarage level design that makes some of the stages boring to play through once the wow factor is gone, which is something that happens quite frequently during the first half of the game, since many of the lesser gimmicks and are easily available on SMW Central by now.
Another thing that hasn't aged well is that some of the bosses, while impressive, are heavily rng dependent due to them only being vulnerable during a certain selection of attacks.
Something more subjective is that there's also no custom music, but at the same time the age of the hack would mean that the music would be too dated to work on accurate emulators, as shown in the Cheep Demo.
However, since the wow factor of the latter half has remained intact after all these years, and since it is responsible for me getting into the medium that is ROM hacks, I can't give it a lower score than 5 Stars depite its many flaws.
Second, some of these older hacks require a different rom than Super Mario World (USA).
You can find them on the brutal mario wiki page, but they are only available in IPS files. It's been a while since it's been updated.
No
I agree. It's still very impressive and absolutely amazing what carol made back in the days.
it does become quite a hard hack, but it is famous and that for a good reason.
i assume since james and mike (cinemassacre) played it, more people will (re)play this hack now and i can only recommend it. its a piece of art.
trying to describe this beautiful hack is not possible. it is just variety at its finest.
go play it.
5/5
small ps: i didnt test it yet but besides the star world theres also a "moon world" with levels. but it seems like you cant enter this world yet. i will test to lunar magic myself into it and see if i can play a couple of levels that are in there but not playable
still, this hack is one of the best.
still one of the greatest hacks ever, i like a good vanilla hack, but everytime i play this hack im sad that its 1 out of 1000 on smw that really uses its full potencial.
Also for anyone interested, there is a Brutal Mario Wiki, come look around or help out, it's grown a lot.
Also my fellow wikian Thirteen1335 has the (mostly) full version of this hack. the last world was taken from another hack and the custom overworld isn't put in due to crashing, But this is the best rendition of Brutal Mario. If you want it go to the wiki and ask him.
To 2020 for the finished version of this hack! (^w^)
キャロルによって作られた象徴的なハック。これは、様々なHDMAのようなASMハック、カスタムボスなどを備えています!
再生される確かに価値があります。 : D
