it's already been suggested numerous times, with varying options on how to play it.

So I looked through my old notes and apparently the one VB emulator I tried was called 'rdragon'. I didn't use it but to play a level of VB Wario Land, so I don't have any opinions on it.
I do remember you could change the red to other colours, like blue, green, gray, etc.

Ugh, did they really have to force the M rating? Completely unnecessary.

Play Celeste, raocow. But make sure you let us know a few days in advance so we can explain the not-so-obvious autosave system and save you a lot of grief.

I can understand the appeal of the LttP and Super Metroid randomizers, but this one feels like it makes no difference whatsoever.

TBF, I know very little about this. I only discovered it because gamercal mentioned in a pinkkittyrose stream about SMB3 randomizer that seemed interesting enough, and I was curious if an SMW one existed.

Judging by the customization options it looks like it could actually change things up a lot more than you might expect for some things. It can add/remove autoscroll, icy physics, and layer 3 tide as well as randomizing enemy properties meaning you'd need to relearn them. It can also remove water from water levels and add water to non-water levels which would change them up quite a bit. It might not be quite as extreme as the aLttP and SM ones but it still seems like it may be worth a shot at least.

Okay, that at least sounds more entertaining than "reorder all the stages and maybe randomize what's in the blocks in the stages".

Things I didn't mention that I've noticed after trying it: Yoshi colors get randomized as well as koopa properties. A green yoshi eating a green shell, for example, in the one I tried was able to fly and fart. Lakitu throws a different sprite, in my case it threw Charlies. Also apparently powerups can get switched? My fireflower powerup got switched with the Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bros.' hammer. It throws fireballs now and the powerup throws hammers along a similar arc to what the enemy throws them and can kill any enemy I've had a chance to try it on other than Blarggs. Block contents as well as what enemy spawns in a given sprite location also looks to be randomized.

And the levels themselves being randomized can make for a pretty big change. The first level I tried had a sublevel I couldn't even recognize. You come in through a pipe on the right and swim to a pipe on the left and there were just flying green koopas for me. And then my yellow switch palace was the green switch palace but underwater and all enemies but the first koopa were replaced with the hopping flame enemies which were actually legitimately dangerous if you weren't taking your time.

Might be a bit on the easy side for raocow though. I'm way out of practice for SMW and set the randomizer to the highest difficulty and I'm not actually having much trouble at all. I've died like four or five times and most of those were me being dumb.

It’s all fun and games until you get door 6 of Bowser’s Castle with the water removed and turbo-speed maces. That’s a bit of a beast to get through.

I suppose I'l go ahead and suggest "stick mice in my head and then beat my head in with a hammer and let them back out", the most recent project by JUMP team. It's quite good, and has only 19 exits so you can get through it quite quickly.

raocow, if Full Bore and Escape Goat hasn't fully satiated your desires for block pushing action, you should check out the two Toki-Tori games. The first game is a level-based puzzler while the sequel is an open-world, Metroidvania. I've only played the first game, but it was fantastic.
