(The story in the most widely spread demo is "Mario was hungry, so he went to Dinosaur Land to eat dinosaurs.") He was eventually overthrown, so you're playing the game as a Fallen Hero trying to Take Over the World. However, the success got to his head and he became a very corrupt ruler. The story in later demos is that, prior to the hack's start, Mario finally defeated Bowser once and for all and was made Mushroom King.

Since Carol himself is something of a hermit and can't speak English, updates travel through the forums via indirect word of mouth, so it's largely unknown what kind of progress has been made on completing it. Both are listed as demos therefore, they're incomplete. The official game is available on SMWCentral here, which has an unofficial English translation included. It's inspired many hackers to make their own custom bosses and ASM modifications. Made by the Japanese hacker "Carol", this hack's success comes from the fact that it contains many modifications that the vast majority of SMW hackers can't do, including new bosses, transition effects, new powers, and more. One of the most well-known Super Mario World hacks.

Three guesses as to the difference between this and the normal Super Mario World box.
