Welcome to Hell.
 
An insanely difficult [[Game Mod]] of ''[[Super Mario World (Videovideo Gamegame)|Super Mario World]]'', '''Kaizo Mario World''' (literally, "Hacked Mario World", but also translated as "Asshole Mario World") is well known for being the [[Trope Codifier]] of the [[Platform Hell]] genre (well eclipsing the popularity of earlier examples such as ''Jinsei Owata no Daibouken'' and the then-unnamed ''Super Mario Forever''), and for being the game that launched a lot of [[Let's Play|LPers]]' careers on [[YouTube]].
 
The whole thing is rumored to have started as a simple ''Mario World'' hack made by a Japanese internet user to challenge their friend, and by some unknown stroke of luck, was found and [[Let's Play|LPed]] by a team of [[Something Awful]] LPers as 'Asshole Mario World', based off the difficulty. The popularity of these original playthroughs spread across the internet, causing a lot more people to play the game. The game is pretty much also responsible for the wave of "super difficult" [[Platform Hell]] ''Mario World'' hacks that have been released, including most on the trope page in question, and those designed specifically to be played by commentators on [[YouTube]] for the frustration of the player in question.

{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes Used by [[Kaizo Mario World]]: ===
* [[Ascended Glitch]]: You'll have to pretty much know a bunch of glitches in the ''[[Super Mario World (Videovideo Gamegame)|Super Mario World]]'' engine to get through this hack.
* [[Big Boo's Haunt]]: The ghost houses are a sadistic homage to the already frustrating and labyrinthine ones found in the original. The Big Boo boss [[That One Boss|is made ridiculously hard.]]
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Arguably those at the end of the Special World.
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* [[Kaizo Trap]]: The [[Trope Namer]], of course.
* [[Leap of Faith]]: Required way, way, ''way'' too often.
* ~[[Let's Play~]]: What made it famous, and the purpose of most of the imitators.
** [[Angrish]]: Words fail to express how frustrating these games can be.
** [[Creator Breakdown]]: The main joy of these LPs is listening to the commentators [[Sanity Slippage|going various kinds of insane]].
** [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Usually a feature of said insanity.
*** [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Except with [[Sir Ron Lion HeartLionheart]].
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The ''easy'' levels. The rest are [[Platform Hell]].
* [[Oh Crap]]: Expect to say this at just about every new obstacle.

* [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: Enforced; many passages are only big enough for the small one-hit Mario to pass.
* [[Overly Long Title]]: The original title was could be written as any of the following<ref>the first is it in japanese, the second is the Hepburn romanization, and the third is simply the translation</ref>:
** 自作の改造マリオ(スーパーマリオワールド)
** Jisaku no Kaizō Mario (Sūpā Mario Wārudo) o Yūjin ni Purei Saseru?)
** Making my friend play through my Mario hack (Super Mario World)
* [[Platform Hell]]: Most of the game, although taken to further and further degrees by imitators.
* [[Press Start to Game Over]]: The title screen opens with a Thwomp crushing Mario, and quite a few levels try to kill you a couple seconds after they start.
