General information
Super Mario World DS Ultimate Edition is a Super Mario World ROM hack by Kyledude92107 and other members, made in honour of DS Ultimate, with every single level being edited. It's currently under development, albeit very slowly. Much of the game has been or is being edited, from the graphics to the sound and music to the level design. It was originally planned to be released in July 2009. But progress severly slowed down, almost to a complete stop. Adding to that, certain levels had been lost due to members' computers crashing, or them having to reformat their harddrives. This meant that as of November 12, 2009, the game was still far from completion. It is expected that the hack will be finally complete during 2010.
Changes
The ROM hack mentioned makes many changes to the original version, of various scale. Minor edits include changing the text at the title screen using the same font the game itself using and editing the "Nintendo presents" text to say "DS Ultimate presents". Major changes including the use of completely new graphics, completely redesigned levels including levels from classic Mario games and potentially new music in each of the levels.
There are also in general plenty of new boss battles and the like, so be warned, if you expected an easy time at the end of each castle due to a Koopaling or Reznor fight, don't. Because at the very LEAST said bosses will be edited, at most they'll be completely scrapped and replaced with new ones.
Level Design
Design wise, there are various kinds of levels. There are some in the style of any other ROM hack, which use surprise traps and difficulty, some based off classic levels to the dot with many, many new enemies added to liven things up and some completely new levels meant to be extremely challenging.
