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

A 100-room SMW hack showcasing engine glitches as puzzles, balancing precision with playability.

About

BNW2 contains a total of 100 rooms across 26 exits, with 13 exits for Any% (no secrets/palaces). Most levels are 5-7 rooms in length. Just like its predecessor, BNW2 is a showcase of glitches that exist within Super Mario World engine. Some of these glitches (commonly found in "Kuso" hacks) can be extremely precise and require frame-perfect inputs. My intent was to make the execution of glitches as simple as possible while still being challenging and fun. Though the custom ASM & graphics prevent BNW2 from being a completely "vanilla" hack, the glitch tech involved *is* vanilla and can be reproduced in the base game.
