Newer Team

Newer Team are a worldwide group of ROM hackers most known for their Newer Super Mario Bros series of ROM hacks. The team consists of approximately 10-15 members, the most prominent of which being YouTuber Skawo. Their YouTube channel is used to upload gameplay clips and trailers, soundtrack videos, and other promotional content.
==History==
The team are mostly known for their two hacks, Newer Super Mario Bros Wii and Newer Super Mario Bros DS. Wii was first released on June 8, 2013, and was installable on homebrewed consoles via a Riivolution patch (requiring an original game disc to work). DS was released on January 1, 2018, and would be patched into the user's own, original game ROM via use of a custom tool developed by the team.
The team are also responsible for some smaller ROM hacks, including Another Super Mario Bros Wii and Another Super Mario 3D (the only hack of theirs not be based on a New Super Mario Bros game).
At some point in the late 2010s, a hack called Newer Super Mario Bros U for the was being developed, however the hack was eventually cancelled and any footage uploaded to their channel was removed. On June 8, 2018, they would announce the development of Newer Super Mario Bros Wii Plus, a remastered version of the original Newer Wii hack.
==Vandalism==
On September 1, 2020, the Newer Super Mario Bros fandom (which is not officially endorsed by the Newer Team) was subject to heavy vandalism by impersonators of the Newer Team. Initially, the pages for Wii and DS were both vandalized by unrelated users, who were removing all the content from both pages and replacing it with statements about the games being bad.
Minutes later, an account called TomsNewerTeam appeared, adding a list of the game producers to the page. However, he used childish nicknames for the staff members - for instance, Skawo was named as "Sawko". This user was not likely the Newer Team members Toms, and its more likely that it was an impersonator. The edit was undone, with staff members of the fandom saying he should edit the Newer Team page instead.
Not long after those edits, a user called Skawo90 appeared, likely being an impersonator of the YouTuber Skawo. Initially, the user removed a small reference to emulators on the page, citing the prevention of legal troubles, which appears reasonable. However, the user later replaced the page that was supposed to be about emulators with a copy-and-pasted block of text from the official Nintendo website about legal information and, when administrators undid this (telling them not to copy and paste random blocks of text from elsewhere and replace wiki pages), they replaced the page for Newer Wii with the same copied blocked of text (which the administrators, again, undid).
