How I accidentally got a World Record... (FINALE) Purgatory Super Mario World ROM Hack

Full playthrough:    • Every Single Moment of GrandPooBear P...  

That's right, without even trying, I claim yet another SMW world record. Bow to me. Let me know if you want more ROM hack videos in the comments, and leave a like on this video please!

From the author of the Team Shell Hack:
"The afterlife welcomes you with a path to Paradise."

This is Purgatory: an amalgamation of my video game inspirations, presented as a modern kaizo hack. It seems Mario has met an unfortunate end, finding himself at the foot of Mount Purgatory. The only way to escape is to brave the climb and ascend beyond the apex to reach Paradise.

This hack features:
21 exits of pure platforming, primarily (there's very little item usage).
A variety of custom palettes and backgrounds (with mostly vanilla assets).
Secret message boxes to find throughout.
The typical list of QoL patches.
Fake HDMA :)

With this being my first hack, I had two goals: firstly, to teach myself to play and design kaizo; and secondly, to create a collection of levels that I found to be fun and challenging.

To those that gave me any feedback, to those that helped me directly, and -- of course -- to my wonderful playtesters: there are no words to express how grateful I am. This hack would not be the same without everyone's efforts, comments, and collective reassurance. Thank you all, truly.

To those who will embark on the journey to Paradise: I wish you good luck and I hope you enjoy it.

Persevere.
