The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Comic-book-themed Mario World Kaizo hack where each level is styled after a different comic the creator loves.

About

Tebeo is the creator's first ever SMW hack. They themed every level in it around comic books they like (Tebeo means comic in spanish). The difficulty of this hack scales up a bit at the end of the game, and also at the last level of each overworld. Overall the game is easy/medium Kaizo difficulty. All the mechanics and sprites are vanilla and almost all the graphics, except some stuff edited on yychr. It has custom palettes and music. About asm, it has some life quality patches, like instant retry and NoMoreSpriteTileLimits.
