Released in 2021 by Pit hack TASer Dacinthewizard, Armageddon is one of the most challenging pit hacks of Super Mario World out there. If you wish to play it, the patch is located here
.
Armageddon contains examples of:
- Ascended Glitch: A large amount of glitches in the vanilla game are required to win this, most notably spawning a Reznor.
- Blatant Lies: The intro message box lies about the game's difficulty.This hack is easy. If you can't beat it, you're bad. You will be judged.
- Final Boss: Averted, which is a rarity for a Mario World ROM hack. The one boss of the game is used to despawn a sprite blocking a pipe, and is in the final Luigi section.
- Kaizo Trap: Not doing a single frame jump on a switch will cause the game to be Unwinnable.
- Lethal Lava Land: The fourth Luigi section is set in the middle of a volcano.
- Meaningful Name: The level "Eternal Death" gives the player a 1-up upon starting, thus it's impossible to progress if single-player is selected.
- Platform Hell: This game is up there with Item Abuse 3 as among the most challenging SMW hacks out there.
- Pyrrhic Victory: "You've won. But at what cost?"
- Scenery Porn: The custom graphics are quite pleasant to look at, with the first Luigi stage having a beautiful seaside area as its background.
- Unwinnable by Design: There are many ways to make the game unwinnable, such as losing a single life as Luigi or falling into blocks in Eternal Death as Mario. Thus, the game expects you to load to an earlier point in your playthrough if you saved in an unwinnable scenario.
