Super Mario World is a side-scrolling platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo in 1990. When Mario goes on vacation, Princess Peach gets kidnapped and Mario must go through Dinosaur Land in order to rescue her from the evil Bowser.

"Rotten Brains" (can be considered "ALPHA SPHERE Zero: Rotten Brains") is a complete overhaul SMW Horror ROM Hack focused on pure storytelling and atmosphere. This is the prequel to ALPHA SPHERE the original.

A relic fell from the sky, with the promise of granting the person the ability to revive those who they loved most. "Mal", brother of "Norma" and best friend of "Doctor Andre", explores the homeland on the surface in front of a tall cliff. There is a wide cast of characters to world-build off of. Mal's girlfriend, "Ellie", is curious about the relic and wants to test it. How far will Mal go?

Warning: This hack contains HEAVY themes of suicide and addiction. The whole game is Red and Black, which may lead to eye sores if played for a long period of time. The hack can be very disturbing and depressing at points.
