Grand Poo World (Video Game) | comment |
Released in 2017, Grand Poo World is the first in what would eventually become a trilogy of Super Mario World kaizo ROM hacks by BarbarousKing (also known as Barbarian, or simply "Barb"). It's an old-school kaizo hack with no plot to speak of. Instead, it focuses on giving players a brutally difficult challenge to overcome. The IPS patch can be found on SMW Central, while the game's soundtrack is available on YouTube.It was followed by two sequels. Grand Poo World 2 was released in 2019, followed by Grand Poo World 3 in 2023. | |

Absurdly Long Wait | |
Grand Poo World (Video Game) / int_13bcec18 | comment |
In "Pastebin Palace" the player is faced with an absurdly long hallway. It takes twenty seconds of continuous running to reach the end — at which point a fish falls from the sky and kills you just as you were about to reach the yellow switch. Players who return and manage to avoid the fish will congratulate themselves — at least until they jump on the yellow switch, which also kills you. | |

Difficulty by Acceleration | |
Grand Poo World (Video Game) / int_2168bdf7 | comment |
Difficulty by Acceleration: The final section of "Echo Base" requires Mario to make a series of tricky jumps (including mounting and dismounting Yoshi) while the level scrolls faster and faster. Eventually it's scrolling so quickly that Mario is pinned to the left edge of the screen. | |

Grand Poo World (Video Game) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: At the end of "Echo Base", there is a group of blocks resembling the character "完". This means "completion" or "end" in Chinese and Japanese. | |

Grand Poo World (Video Game) / int_4d1b485d | comment |
Dedication: Following the example set by T. Takemoto, who reportedly created Kaizo Mario World in order to torture his friend with it's absurd difficulty, BarbarousKing chose to name his hack Grand Poo World in honor of his friend, GrandPooBear. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Grand Poo World (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Grand Poo World was the creator's first Super Mario World ROM hack, so it lacks many of the features that the series has come to be known for, such as custom bosses, complex puzzles, and hidden portraits. In many ways, Grand Poo World is more similar to the ROM hacks which inspired it (such as Kaizo Mario World and Super Dram World) than it is to Grand Poo World 2. | |

Slippy-Slidey Ice World | |
Grand Poo World (Video Game) / int_5914d5dd | comment |
In final section of "Echo Base", the screen scrolls so quickly that it is literally dragging Mario along with it. At the very end, the scrolling abruptly stops — and Mario's accumulated momentum (coupled with the level's low-friction ice physics) carries him right into a pit. | |

Platform Hell | |
Grand Poo World (Video Game) / int_7d0b5cb5 | comment |
Platform Hell: As you would expect from a game inspired by Kaizo Mario World, Grand Poo World is incredibly difficult. In his submission to SMW Central, Barb wrote: "This hack is designed to challenge even the most skilled Super Mario World kaizo players." | |

Version-Exclusive Content: Only versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the hack contain the onscreen counter which displays how many times you have died. It was removed in version 1.2 after it was discovered to have caused compatability issues with certain emulators. | |

Shout-Out | |
Grand Poo World (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When hatching Yoshi in "Cretacean Cavern", a message box appears, quoting from Jurassic Park: "Life, uh... finds a way." Many level names are shout-outs: "Carl's Bad Caverns" refers to Mario streamer CarlSagan42, as well as Carlsbad Caverns, the national park in New Mexico. "Death Star" is the name of the Empire's space station/super-weapon in Star Wars: A New Hope, while "Echo Base" is the name of the Rebels' base on Hoth in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. "Gorgoroth" shares its name with the Norwegian black metal band, Gorgoroth. "Fangorn" and "Moria" are named for locations in The Lord of the Rings. "Botany Bay" is named for Khan's personal ship in Star Trek "The Linkdead Pool" is a double shout-out, combining the film The Dead Pool with fellow Mario-streamer Linkdeadx2, who playtested the game prior to its release. "The Nexus" pays tribute to Nexus15, who helped to develop and playtest the game. "Pastebin Palace" refers to the online text-storage service, Pastebin.note An odd shout-out to be sure; BarbarousKing and his collaborators most likely used Pastebin to exchange documents while developing the game. "The People's Castle" is a reference to Grand Poo Bear, who referred to himself as "the people's champion". However, Poo adopted this name from professional wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who in turn adopted it from famed boxer Muhammad Ali. "The Red Keep" is named for an imposing castle in A Game of Thrones. | |
