'''''Something''''' is the name of a ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'' [[Game Mod|Rom Hack]] by [[Yogui]], known for its well-made levels.
The plot is... there is none, because someone went and stole it, and it's up to Mario to thwart whoever the villain is and retrieve it. It's slightly oddball in that aspect - just as well, since many people know of the ROM hack series from [[raocow]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF61510ABCD517C7C playthroughs of the games].
Yogui also created a sequel, ''[[Something Else (ROM Hack)|Something Else]]'', which focuses on Luigi and his adventures in another world.
The patch can be found [http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1932/ here].
Not to be confused with the various ''other'' [[something]]s around here, such as a song by [[Aerosmith]], a song by [[Andrius Pojavis]], a song by [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]], a song by [[Dark Lotus]], a song by [[Escape the Fate]], a song by [[Girl's Day]], a song by [[Joe Cocker]], a song by [[Lasgo]], a song by [[the Move]], a song by [[Shakira]], or a song by [[TVXQ]].
