== Main Uses ==
As a level editor for Super Mario World, Lunar Magic is often used as an assistant tool to hack and create new games, such as the case of Brutal Mario World.
=== Editing the Game ===
There are two ways to edit the game: Level Editor, where you can edit the enemies and items of an especific level, and Overworld editor, where you can edit the land mass, the ways Mario travels and the level's positions in the Overworld. Both of them are pretty useful when creating a game, since you want it to be unique.
