If people wanted different stage layouts for a 2D Mario game, wouldn't they simply hack Mario World or All-Stars, or even the NES versions? Heaps easier than making them from scratch, unless you were to completely reverse engineer the game mechanics so they perfectly matched the original games. I think just about everyone tried out the old DOS demo(?) called Mario!!! back in the 1990s, and quickly went back to the original as it was of fitfight.c quality compared to the original.
