===Super Mario World[[File:MainLunarMagic-1-.png|thumb]]===
*[http://www.smwcentral.net Super Mario World Central] - The largest site dedicated to SMW hacking.  Hosts hundreds of hacks and is a resource for SMW hacking utilities and knowledge.  Also has a very active community and forums.
*[http://www7.atpages.jp/smw/view.cgi X-Mario] - Prominent Japanese site that hosts a variety of hacks.  Worth noting is that Japanese hacks are usually more reliant on creating challenging gameplay and are less flashy or graphically modified than their Western cousins.
*[http://talkhaus.raocow.com/ Raocow's Talkhaus] - The community for the most prominent let's player in SMW hacking.  Whether or not you enjoy his commentary, this site remains a great resource for discovering hacks, as the community here is generally focused on hacks that the SMW Central community doesn't cover.
*[http://www18.atwiki.jp/sm4wiki_mix/ VIP Wiki] - Japanese wiki dedicated to the development of 2channel's series of popular hacks, the VIP & Wall Mix series.  Hosts the 5 current installments and news about the sixth, currently a work in progress.
===Super Metroid[[File:Fetch-1-.png|thumb]]===
*[http://metroidconstruction.com Metroid Construction] - The most prominent and active Super Metroid hacking community currently.  Hosts a large variety of hacks, resources, FAQs, and an active community and forum.  Originated in m2k2 before becoming its own dedicated site.
*[http://wiki.metroidconstruction.com/doku.php Metroid Construction Wiki] - As its name implies, a wiki created by the Metroid Construction community.
*[http://www.metroid2002.com/ Metroid 2002] - The former most prominent and active Super Metroid hacking community previously.  While it has since been foregone in favor of Metroid Construction, it can still be a valuable resource for knowledge about the more advanced mechanics and inner workings of Super Metroid (as well as other games in the series).
===The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past===
*[http://forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php/board,27.0.html?PHPSESSID=c83e531bb78ed7c6a3a4de5b45756595 Zelda Construction] - Despite its huge popularity, the hacking community for ALttP is relatively slow.  This is mainly due to the lack of a truly good editor, though one is in the works.  This community is a spin-off of Metroid Construction devoted to hacking of ALttP and other games in the series.
===EarthBound===
*[http://www.starmen.net Starmen.net] - Home of the hacking utility [http://starmen.net/pkhack/ PK Hack], an editor for modifying the EarthBound/Mother 2 ROM.  Has an active hacking community in the PK Hack section of its forums, where links to completed hacks can also be found.
===Final Fantasy III (VI)===
*[http://www.ff6hacking.com/forums/portal.php FF6 Hacking] - Home to a large community of Final Fantasy VI hackers, complete with active forums, links to patches, and FAQs and guides for those looking to get into hacking the game.
==PlayStation==
===Final Fantasy Tactics===
*[http://ffhacktics.com/ Final Fantasy Hacktics] - Huge community for FFT hacking with a variety of completed hacks, patches, and resources.
==Resources by Series==
===Fire Emblem===

*[http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showforum=8 Serenes Forest] - Another active and prominent Fire Emblem hacking community, though perhaps a bit more active than Fire Emblem Shrine.
