Super Waluigi: Rescue Wario

Super Waluigi: Rescue Wario is a fan-made Super Mario World ROM hack for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The hack gives Waluigi the starring role and uses a simple rescue premise centered on Wario. The current ROM-hack archive lists it as a Standard hack with 11 exits, created by Green Jerry. The archive records releases on June 22 and June 29, 2026.

The game different from many recent Super Mario World hacks that focus on highly technical platforming. The compact 11-exit structure also makes this a smaller project compared with large SMW hacks that contain dozens of exits.

🟣 Waluigi Takes the Lead

The main attraction is the character choice. You control Waluigi instead of Mario. This gives the familiar Super Mario World format a different identity without changing the basic platforming foundation. The game's title also tells you the main objective: Wario needs to be rescued.

🧀 A Simple Rescue Story

The story centers on Waluigi's attempt to rescue Wario. The premise is intentionally straightforward. You guide Waluigi through the hack and work toward the rescue objective. Because the project is a short 11-exit hack, its story serves mainly as the reason for the adventure rather than as a large narrative system.

🎮 Super Mario World Mechanics Remain at the Core

The hack is based on Super Mario World, so the core platforming system comes from Nintendo's SNES classic. You can expect familiar actions such as:

• Running
• Jumping
• Stomping enemies
• Collecting coins
• Using pipes
• Finding power-ups
• Crossing platforms
• Reaching level exits
• Exploring alternate routes where the level design provides them

🗺️ Only 11 Exits to Find

The archive lists 11 exits for Super Waluigi: Rescue Wario. That number gives you a clear idea of the game's scale.

You do not need to work through a huge collection of dozens of exits. Instead, the adventure has a compact structure that suits a shorter play session.

⭐ What Makes This Hack Different?

Several confirmed details give the project its own identity.

• Waluigi is the main character.
• Wario is the character you need to rescue.
• The hack is classified as Standard.
• There are 11 exits.
• Green Jerry is credited as the creator.
• The project was released in June 2026.

The Waluigi focus is the clearest distinction. The game uses a familiar Super Mario World foundation but changes the central character and story objective.
