Super Mario World: Dark Horizon is a Mario fangame created by Henford. In it, Mario takes on the Nazi forces of World War II after a timeshift problem that sends both Mario's World and 1945's German forces into the present day. Gameplay is based off Super Mario World, with Mario being able to ride Yoshis and collect powerups to defeat his enemies. New powerups include Machine Gun Mario and Ninja Mario.
The game was heavily critisized before release. Some thought the idea was stupid but most complaints were down to the fact the game had missed many deadlines for being released for one reason or another (usually down to Henford being banned). Many believed that the game did not exist, as Henford repeatedly stated he had worked many years on it yet very little information was being shown, and certinaly not what looked like years worth of work.
It was originally released as a demo which was critisized for it's somewhat buggy gameplay and poor choice in graphics. Many of the sprites were pixellated and therefore did not look good in game. Whereas the graphics were improved on during development, the overall product released some time later had not improved too much in this area. It has been mentioned that a graphical update was being developed, but there has been no sign of this since.
When the full game was eventually released it was praised for being an original title that had been pulled off very well. The gameplay was far from perfect, but it was still very good, and so Dark Horizon has become one of the better MFGG fangames. The full version is too big for the main site's size limit so it is only available on the forums.
