Subject: Super Mario World: The After Years is a ROM hack that tells the story of the Mushroom Kingdom into the distant future where Mario, Luigi, Peach and anybody in that time no longer exist. Now a new cast of characters are left to run the show in a world we're all familiar with. Anyways, the hack is your Standard Chocolate Hack (Aka alot of custom content.) with a story. It is also the very first ROM hack that I created. Originally it was rejected..., so I decided to revise about 80% of the hack and label it the Ultra Edition. This was officially accepted and released onto Super Mario World Central. (Fun Fact: Currently my only ROM hack officially submitted.)
We continue World 7 with the 6th level, Digital Forest. Similar to the previous level, Digital Forest is kind of puzzle level to navigate through. In order to proceed you must change the environment of the level by going in the corresponding pipe colors placed. Green makes the environment nature like, Blue changes the environment aquatic and red makes the environment fiery. I have to admit that I really like the concept that I went with, but I went a bit overkill. It can get kind of tedious traveling through pipes and figuring out which environment to change it to. Also yeah don't go for the Secret Exit before hitting the Blue Switch otherwise you'll be met with a cruel surprise...In hind sight it was a really bad idea to have you go through the effort of collecting all the dragon coins and finding out you can't get the secret exit without the switch, but I hadn't realize I've done that oof...
Fun Fact: This level probably took the most effort and longest to complete in the entire hack.
