Thanks for all the comments on this video!! This is something I had made for a gamejam from MFGG back in 2020 which I just now decided to upload and share. I did not expect this to get as much attention as it has but I appreciate all the comments. I have added a download link to the videos description for anyone that wants to check the hack out for themselves!
I used to imagine a secret path going down the waterfall from vanilla fortress, which never existed, but this is something amazing all together! It’s real??
I used to have dreams about Zelda link to the past, I was finding new areas thru the map And it seemed so real, the bridge u stand up on death mountain when u look down u see a part of the map u can’t get to, that frickin gave me so many dreams too
I SWORE there was a second secret behind Vanilla Dome 1. Those rocks behind it looked oddly suspicious and held a secret that I spent AGES trying to find something with.
I like thay these are normal difficulty and not crazy impossible maps like most mods and edits. This feels exactly like something Nintendo would make back in the 90s. And theres something magical about that.
@@devonm042690I would say the second level would be molten vanilla rather than pure lava. That was a missed opportunity but otherwise it looks very well done overall.
It feels credible because the levels are designed like the rest of the game. Simple, yet challenging in its own right. Most hackers will go full kaizo in mere minutes
I like the idea of ROM hacks that are "extended versions" of the base game. Who hasn't dreamed about, say, adding their own new dungeon to a Zelda game. A new planet in Star Fox's Lylat system. Or even adding their own secret areas to already existing levels. Just so many possibilities...
yea it's really lovely this has a cross-generational appeal- older people who grew up imagining such things in smw, younger now old enough to be remembering videos of a similar kind of idea
I know its not real but damn this is so nostalgic with all those like videos that are like "super secret exit" and stuff. Also the map looks super clean
The levels and even the switch palace feel pretty close to the actual game. The combination of ice and lava is a little silly but I could see them doing that one as a regular cave or an icy cave with regular death pits. The switch palace is slightly less on brand with its use of concrete blocks, but the note block bounce to get the 1up to the end does actually feel like a switch palace puzzle.
I've been wanting to rebuild the entirety of Mega Man 2 from the ground up, but then add whole new areas to the existing levels with new items and weapons and game play features, but they can only be accessed by doing extremely obscure and specific things
@@wijons522, I hate the fact that your parents thought that meeting each other in the first place was a pair of good ideas, let alone the fact that you think that people ought to give you credibility with your complete and utter dumpster fire of a comment because you were so desperate and pathetic to try and get up votes that you literally have given to your comment that you dared to post on here. Finally, if you hate mods so much, and if they were also so horrible, then why is it that, not only is there a whole series of modding communities that are around Mario games, but that even Nintendo themselves essentially gave up and made not one, but TWO, Super Mario Maker video games in response to the modding communities? Why not riddle me THAT one, Batman?
I think not everyone understands the magic and beauty of this, I remember when I was a child seeing several hacks showing secret things in smw, obviously nothing was real but as a child I always imagined things like that, and I realized that you, in addition to recording gameplay playing as an average player, you built the level design of the stages in a VERY similar way to the stages in smw, so this video is VERY convincing and real, congratulations on your work!
Brings back memories of playing Super Mario World in the early 90s before I made it very far and imagining levels like this. One that I actually dreamt about was an alternate Cookie Mountain with levels called Watch Out For Dragons, which were basically all like Chocolate Island 1 with Dino Rhinos and Mini-Rhinos (Dino Torches).
Lol maaaaan I done went back and played the game thinking this secret was something I missed as a child. Really dope stuff here, I was hoping the lake in the middle of the mountain stream should've been an underwater stage though!!!
Vanilla peak looks amazing! You did a good job! Kinda strange how the vine just dumps Mario out on top of Ludwigs castle tho. Maybe you could have put a star warp that flies Mario up and then fades back in to him being on castle 4. idk
When I was a kid, I always thought there was a secret exit in the castle right there that I couldn't find because it totally looks like there should be another map area up there. I used to have dreams about it and then wake up and spend hours beating that castle and the surrounding levels over and over trying to find the secret exit that doesn't exist. 😅 Very cool video!
I remember back in the day when people tried to convince us of these type of "hidden" secrets and that they were in the actual game. Oddly enough, you could only perform the secrets on an emulator and never on an SNES console lol
I must have horror brain rot of some kind cause I expected things to go bad after triggering the purple switch lol. The hack looks so well made, good job!
Very well done. I love rom hacks that try to capture the feel of a real Mario game instead of just trying to frustrate the player with shell jumping and all that highly technical stuff.
I was skeptical about this being real, because although Nintendo does like to hide little extra bits in their games, I feel like they would’ve added more places where you’d see purple placeholder boxes.
When i was in summer camp as a kid i remember someone told me there was a secret hidden black yoshi in the random room with the coin snake in donut ghost house, and it also lead to a secret level where you fight all the koopa kids at once. I honestly believed it
GG Tob Super Mario World is one of my favorite games 😎🎮🥳🎉👏 and you just earned yourself a new Subscribers and that's me I hope your YT channel gets an explosion of over a billion subscribers!
I should have read the comments before turning on my Switch and trying this! I've been playing this game since it was new and got so excited that there was something I somehow missed when I was a kid. 😂 Nice job on this this btw.
The only thing that convinces me that this isn't vanilla is that stages with multiple exits are always red and stages with only one exit are yellow. But still fun, regardless!
I’m almost inclined to call this the first *real* patch/DLC made for SMW. This is incredible. For once, it’s not just a random added secret or kaizo levels. It’s a real alternate route across the Butter Bridge area. Would be awesome if someone built on this with a World9-type continuation that utilized the purple blocks.
This reminds me of old old old myth on top secret area and its secret exit that leads to that small island and granted you "Super Lazer Suit". Or one that had a secret level with grey spinies that were graphically glitched buzzy beatles. Ah... those were some nice times of "oldschool rumours".
A common mistake is having two feathers or two flowers in a place where both are important you can manually release one of them and the other will go back in the box when you collect it
Is there any read me file for this to help identify other secrets in this game? Is Vanilla Peak the only additional secret? I don't think anyone would be able to figure out that you had to wait a certain bit of time before the end of Vanilla Secret 3 for a P Switch. Or does this version of the game have in-game hints through those hint boxes? - This is really cool though.
Be careful. My cousin did this on a cartridge that he bought from an old japanese man at a yard sell, and my cousin went missing 😮😮 and when they found his body there was a note in his pocket that said “sper Mario pleas. Need more super Mario.” 😮😮😮😮
This reminds me of a dream I had as a kid of a hidden cave in the Valley of Bowser that let you unlock Black and White Yoshi, even before Yoshi's Story was released.
i thought this was going to be some kind of creepypasta. now i think this would be a pretty cool creepypasta game concept. it’s the normal game but there are tiny hidden ways to get to new areas which is where the spoopy part is. which i guess is kind of like b3313 this is cool regardless
They should’ve also had a purple Yoshi to go with the hack. But what would it be able to do? The Red could breathe fire, the Blue could fly, and the Yellow could stomp, but what would Purple do? Also, could there also be other colors, like Orange and Pink?
I know this isn't real but I wish so bad it was. I love snow levels and this reminds me of the secrets we were told about as kids. I'm showing my age here but before CZcams was even a thing, there was "Luigi in Super Mario 64". Anyone remember that? There was this ridiculously long list of things you had to do and we all actually tried them. Then we found out it was fake. Another was ways to supposedly unlock Sonic & Tails in Super Smash Bros Melee. (Usually getting 20 KOs in Cruel Melee, that was fake too).
Why don’t Nintendo keep re-releasing SMW to each new console with some new secret levels added? Add like just 20 levels each time is already more than enough. It’ll be an incentive for ppl to keep buying this SMW re-release every time. By the 5th re-release it will have 200 levels. Add secret volcano world, phantom world, mirror world, giant world, nightmare world, and complement it with inverted star world. Oh the possibility!
Thanks for all the comments on this video!! This is something I had made for a gamejam from MFGG back in 2020 which I just now decided to upload and share. I did not expect this to get as much attention as it has but I appreciate all the comments.

1:32 Where are we?
I used to imagine a secret path going down the waterfall from vanilla fortress, which never existed, but this is something amazing all together! It’s real??
@dertob_ what is that hack name? Can you send that link to me?
Had dreams about stuff like this as a kid. Suddenly uncovering entire new areas in Super Metroid, and new suits. Ugh.
Yup! Same here. I had dreams about a secret exit in the Special levels, giving access to a secret Yoshi world.
I used to have dreams about Zelda link to the past, I was finding new areas thru the map
And it seemed so real, the bridge u stand up on death mountain when u look down u see a part of the map u can’t get to, that frickin gave me so many dreams too
My dreams helped me completing Majoras mask as a young kid. Kinda crazy how much sleep theorycrafting can help.
I SWORE there was a second secret behind Vanilla Dome 1. Those rocks behind it looked oddly suspicious and held a secret that I spent AGES trying to find something with.
I have dreams about Metroid too. And 007 Nightfire on the GameCube
Vanilla Peak overworld feels like a land you would see in a dream. The theme also has a ... "dreamy" pleasant feel to it.
I like thay these are normal difficulty and not crazy impossible maps like most mods and edits. This feels exactly like something Nintendo would make back in the 90s. And theres something magical about that.
Yeah some require you to precisely hop on top of a shell
These levels feel out of place because they have no sense of flow ..kinda slapped together to be easy
@@flewis02most of the levels in this part of the game are confusing tangles of possible paths. That’s not just this one.
these levels feel vanilla in a way most SMW hacks don't. such a mundane little secret yet it feels oddly believable.
I'd agree if not for Vanilla Peak 1 having the letters M-A-R-I-O formed of coins throughout the level. That's a final secret level-type of easter egg.
@@devonm042690Came here to say exactly that
@@devonm042690I would say the second level would be molten vanilla rather than pure lava. That was a missed opportunity but otherwise it looks very well done overall.
Not knowing the coding, or the limits of the game made for endless possibilities. I used to think mario 2 had so much more hidden in it.
It feels credible because the levels are designed like the rest of the game. Simple, yet challenging in its own right. Most hackers will go full kaizo in mere minutes

I hope you know about B3313 then
videos like these had me enamored as a kid. thanks for keeping the magic alive.
yea it's really lovely this has a cross-generational appeal- older people who grew up imagining such things in smw, younger now old enough to be remembering videos of a similar kind of idea
The most aggravating part about this video is that we never get to see if the Purple Blocks contain any power-ups when they're hit.
I know its not real but damn this is so nostalgic with all those like videos that are like "super secret exit" and stuff. Also the map looks super clean
brother dont say me that this video of the gameplay is fake ooohhhh Tob playing with my feelings
Love the level design, forgotten the beauty in the simplicity of making a true vanilla mario world level
This is neat. I like how it just feels like there should be more to see above Vanilla Lake, but isn't a large area.
The levels and even the switch palace feel pretty close to the actual game. The combination of ice and lava is a little silly but I could see them doing that one as a regular cave or an icy cave with regular death pits. The switch palace is slightly less on brand with its use of concrete blocks, but the note block bounce to get the 1up to the end does actually feel like a switch palace puzzle.
I love the concept of secrets that haven't been discovered until ages later.
EDIT: I already knew it was fake, by the way.
SMW has always and will always have 96 exits, these are mods you are watching in these videos.
I've been wanting to rebuild the entirety of Mega Man 2 from the ground up, but then add whole new areas to the existing levels with new items and weapons and game play features, but they can only be accessed by doing extremely obscure and specific things
@@youtubekilledtrustedflaggi9274Yes.

This looks so real, I could believe Nintendo made it. However, Vanilla Peak 2 doesn't have SFX echo unlike other cave levels in SMW.
god DAMNIT

@@dertob_
You did good, my man!😋
@@dertob_ the authorities are on their way. Please assume a submissive posture and do not resist
Reminds me of that secret laser suit video we all fell for way back when. If this video came out back then I would have 100% believed it
this looks so nostalgic, very well done

I have always been dumbfounded about the lack of Ice Area in World, thanks for this
That map design is beautiful!
Well done! This is really cute
This hidden secret makes it a 97th level which is really impossible
Vanilla peak looks amazing! You did a good job! Kinda strange how the vine just dumps Mario out on top of Ludwigs castle tho. Maybe you could have put a star warp that flies Mario up and then fades back in to him being on castle 4. idk
When I was a kid, I always thought there was a secret exit in the castle right there that I couldn't find because it totally looks like there should be another map area up there. I used to have dreams about it and then wake up and spend hours beating that castle and the surrounding levels over and over trying to find the secret exit that doesn't exist. 😅 Very cool video!
I can't believe this well-made Super Mario World secret has been right under our noses this whole time... 🤯
its true and real
I see what you did there, creative way to support the creator
@@dertob_ i play this so many times and I never got this to appear 😔. So you hack it in
@@Larx3476and you still believed it?
@@SopaDoEspaco no. I just play super Mario world so many times before I saw this video
I remember back in the day when people tried to convince us of these type of "hidden" secrets and that they were in the actual game. Oddly enough, you could only perform the secrets on an emulator and never on an SNES console lol
The levels, everything shown in the video feels like vanilla smw, and i really like this!
I must have horror brain rot of some kind cause I expected things to go bad after triggering the purple switch lol. The hack looks so well made, good job!
We need a rom hack that just includes all these "you didnt know about this" secrets. Like this and that old one with the laser power up
great idea honestly. might be a nice change from my usually very involved projects
@@dertob_ So what's that name? Where am I trying to find it??
This is super well made !!
Finally a fanmade "fake secret" video that has pretty decent vanilla nintendo-like level design! Enough to make this easily believable! Well done!
Very well done. I love rom hacks that try to capture the feel of a real Mario game instead of just trying to frustrate the player with shell jumping and all that highly technical stuff.
While i know this is a romhack. It looks 100% official.
That’s some seriously good level design ❤
Definitely digging vanilla peak as a whole. Awesome job.
I was skeptical about this being real, because although Nintendo does like to hide little extra bits in their games, I feel like they would’ve added more places where you’d see purple placeholder boxes.
Very nicely done. Looks like it just could have been in the real game!
Thats pretty cool. I'm gonna have to play this game again to do this level.
I remember hoax videos like these, this brings me back
When i was in summer camp as a kid i remember someone told me there was a secret hidden black yoshi in the random room with the coin snake in donut ghost house, and it also lead to a secret level where you fight all the koopa kids at once. I honestly believed it
GG Tob Super Mario World is one of my favorite games 😎🎮🥳🎉👏 and you just earned yourself a new Subscribers and that's me I hope your YT channel gets an explosion of over a billion subscribers!
I feel like it's been a long time seeing a SMW mod that wasn't Kaizo.
Looks fun.
you should look at more non-kaizo mods, there's some very good ones :)
I should have read the comments before turning on my Switch and trying this! I've been playing this game since it was new and got so excited that there was something I somehow missed when I was a kid. 😂 Nice job on this this btw.
Love it. Just like the video with the secret above "TOP SECRET AREA"...I wondered what was above the waterfall. Nice job.
The only thing that convinces me that this isn't vanilla is that stages with multiple exits are always red and stages with only one exit are yellow. But still fun, regardless!
does bro know what level colors mean
@@MintedRash Bro does know! That's why I said what I did. Do you know what level colors mean? 🤔
@@TommyViper yeah, aren't red levels for multiple exits, and yellow for one?
@@MintedRash You would be correct! 😊
@@TommyViper So then, how do you seem not convinced that vanilla isn't right?

Or one that had a secret level with grey spinies that were graphically glitched buzzy beatles.
Ah... those were some nice times of "oldschool rumours".
This is like that side area in Mount Teapot in WL1 that you had to clear in order to progress in the main map.
Now we just need a secret fire world and an orange switch Palace 😊
I lovethis. Great job
A common mistake is having two feathers or two flowers in a place where both are important you can manually release one of them and the other will go back in the box when you collect it
LOL the purple switch his to powerful that my phone got disconnected from the wifi when mario approached it lol
I've completely beat this game at least a dozen times or more growing up. 1 of the best Mario games ever made . Hands down
Well done, I never knew that was there until now.
SMW is such a good game that I keep having dreams about finding more secret worlds to this day!
Incrível. Ficou ótimo
What a thrill...
I'm highly puzzled about this what in the Freaking Hell and it's extremely confusing and how did this get found?!?
@@BowserCollins-nb8hfNot real. It’s a mod
Love it !
Is there any read me file for this to help identify other secrets in this game? Is Vanilla Peak the only additional secret?

This is such a cute romhack 😊
This reminds me of a dream I had as a kid of a hidden cave in the Valley of Bowser that let you unlock Black and White Yoshi, even before Yoshi's Story was released.
I wonder how many people will watch this and try it on a regular version of the game to see if it works.😅
I was literally about to pull out my Super Nintendo and try this until I read the comments 😂
These kinds of levels in a newer version of the original game would make it considerably more enjoyable I think
i thought this was going to be some kind of creepypasta. now i think this would be a pretty cool creepypasta game concept. it’s the normal game but there are tiny hidden ways to get to new areas which is where the spoopy part is.
which i guess is kind of like b3313
this is cool regardless
the purple blocks definitely have the laser suit in them
1:12 Mario: Wait, I don't remember a P-Switch showing up out of nowhere.
Same this is what I am trying to figure out!!
Oh good, now all those purple outlines that never existed can be filled in.
I always thought i completely played that game, guess i didn't! Makes me want to play it again!❤😊
I told my friends it was real, but I could never discover how to get the p switch to spawn. Thanks for the video evidence.
Imagine if we compiled mods like this into a super mario fan edition, that significantly increases the exit count
Nice tune in the overworld.
Someone should drop a vanilla SMW hack with all these super secret areas combined.
This part of SMW always felt like something is missing, a few more levels. Would have loved that back then
Crazy thing I’ve never known this…but I’ve always wondered about that waterfall 😂
Can we all agree that would all love a brand new super Mario world game? A proper sequel to
This one, not yoshi’s world.
Exactly four levels. The four levels that we always needed! To round out to where the level count would be 100
solid romhack and amazing world soundtrack. Levels a tad too easy for this stage though, but otherwise, great!
I remember these playground talks we had about finding secrets, that our uncle who worked for Nintendo told us about 😅
I actually do have an uncle who worked for Nintendo. His job was in payroll.
No insider secrets or early reveals of new games from him.
@@QueenSunstar oh nice ! Hahaha
Very believable. It's like a childhood dream becomming reality~
>That mountain on top of Vanilla Dome
...Yeah, that would be prime real estate for something like this. And Vanilla Peak is a good name for it.
I agree, this would be a great addition to the game. Also that little island north of Top Secret Area.
They should’ve also had a purple Yoshi to go with the hack. But what would it be able to do? The Red could breathe fire, the Blue could fly, and the Yellow could stomp, but what would Purple do? Also, could there also be other colors, like Orange and Pink?

Was thiinking about trying something like this out and was wondering does this contain loads and loads of secrets added to the game?
Insanity Unheard of in a classic 1990s era Super Nintendo game how did you find this secret?
It’s not a secret cause it’s faker than wrestling. A mod
This would be an incredible concept for Nintendo to lean into, a reboot of SMW with an entire new game emerging from secret exits.
Why don’t Nintendo keep re-releasing SMW to each new console with some new secret levels added? Add like just 20 levels each time is already more than enough. It’ll be an incentive for ppl to keep buying this SMW re-release every time. By the 5th re-release it will have 200 levels. Add secret volcano world, phantom world, mirror world, giant world, nightmare world, and complement it with inverted star world. Oh the possibility!
I love this Idea. It really is one of the best games ever created.@@ChenLiYong
You kade some cool levels. How do you get the mod pack.
Man, lots of great rom hacks with extra content in them. I wish I could combine this one with the 30th anniversary and just keef hack.
how did you manage to get the game to run like michael j fox in antarctica
That would make 100 levels in total.😊
If The Purple Switch And Vanilla Peak Debut In This Rom Hack, What's The Name For The SMW Rom Hack?
Super Mario world definite edition is looking great
This looks so real!
if this was real it would be my favorite map
For once they are Mario mod levels that aren’t constant anxiety-attack, overly difficult stupidity. They actually look legit and believable. Props.
Can I access the purple land shown in this video on Super Mario World for SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) on Nintendo Switch?
I wish this was a real deal. SMW only got like 2 ice levels + some ice underground rooms.
I really thought it wasn't a hack. Because those levels feels like real SMW levels!
