Toad's World
Ice Man's full Super Mario World overhaul starring Toad, with new graphics, levels, gimmicks, music and sprites, rebuilt in 2026 on SA-1 with fairer checkpoints and power-ups.
What it is
Toad's World is a complete conversion of Super Mario World in which Toad takes the lead. New graphics, level design, gimmicks, sprites and music make it feel like a separate game rather than a set of new stages. Ice Man made the hack, with levels contributed by FPI Productions and Ghettoyouth; it has been around since the 2000s and works on real hardware.
The 2026 update
Ice Man went back to the old final version and rebuilt it with current tools: the hack now runs on the SA-1 enhancement with AddmusicK music and the latest Lunar Magic. Every level gained a midway point and extra power-ups to make the difficulty fairer, a new status bar with an item box replaces the old pause menu, and many smaller problems were fixed without changing the game's character.
Playing it
Version 1.5 (August 2026) is the latest. The patch is applied to your own copy of Super Mario World (the North American release) following the creator's instructions on the hack's database page linked below.
